Looking for a new 30", willing to spend from 1000 to 5K, but Ive heard some
of the expensive ones are not worth the extra $$

Any suggestions ? Thanks !

For what it's worth, I bought a Garland 30 inch freestanding gas range
about four years ago. It has four star pattern burners. I like it very
well, but I sure think $3,000 was a ridiculous price for which to sell
these. Its hottest burner is very hot, and the simmer burner is pretty
good. The stove is a small beast to clean well, and the burners seem
temperamental insofar as they frequently won't light from the
electronic starter and need a match.

I love the ceramic broiler element. It gets super hot.

I hear Bluestar, the successor to Garland, has improved on what I
bought.

Yes, I did hear BlueStar is good, anyone else have one ?
