Our Jenn-Air downdraft gas range with a grill is lousy:

- the downdraft is better at sucking heat away from the regular burners than
clearing smoke and splattered oil
- you need to clean the burner ignitor holes every week, unless you want to
use a match to light the burners
- the grill gets medium-hot at best, after a good long warm up
- the grill grates quickly show signs of wear

The electric convection oven is terrific, though.
