Gas Ranges

Gas ranges are a common choice for those who love to cook due to the open flame that gives meals a more traditional taste. 

A great gas range does more than heat a pan, it helps you cook with confidence. The visible flame and quick response make it easy to adjust temperature on the fly, so you can go from a rolling boil to a gentle simmer in seconds. Whether you call it a gas stove or a gas range, the goal is the same: reliable performance, everyday convenience, and a cooktop that feels intuitive.

Find the right style: freestanding, slide-in, or pro

Not sure which format works best? Freestanding gas stoves are a popular, flexible choice and often fit a wide range of kitchen layouts. Slide-in gas ranges create a built-in look that pairs beautifully with countertops, while professional-style gas ranges bring heavier-duty construction and bolder design to your space. If you’re replacing an older unit, matching the installation type can simplify your upgrade.

Choose the size that fits your space

Most kitchens are designed around common widths (like 20", 24", and 30"), while larger remodels often step up to 36" or beyond. Before you fall in love with a new gas range, confirm measurements for the opening, surrounding cabinetry, and ventilation. A properly sized gas stove should sit comfortably in your cutout and allow safe clearance around combustibles.

Oven capabilities: beyond bake and broil

Today’s gas stoves often include oven upgrades that make everyday cooking easier. Popular features such as convection for more even baking, specialized cooking modes, and cleaning features that reduce scrubbing are popular choices for shoppers. If you roast frequently, look for convenient racks, sturdy interiors, and features that support consistent temperature control.

Natural gas vs. propane (LP)

Some gas ranges are designed for natural gas, while others can be configured for LP depending on the model and your home’s fuel source. Always verify fuel compatibility before purchase and plan for professional installation when required—especially if you’re converting fuel types or updating a gas line.

Whether you call it a gas stove or a gas range, the goal is the same: reliable performance, everyday convenience, and a cooktop that feels intuitive.

Find the right style: freestanding, slide-in, or pro

Not sure which format works best? Freestanding gas stoves are a popular, flexible choice and often fit a wide range of kitchen layouts. Slide-in gas ranges create a built-in look that pairs beautifully with countertops, while professional-style gas ranges bring heavier-duty construction and bolder design to your space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What kind of gas range is best?

The best gas range combines reliable ignition, high-BTUburners including at least one simmer or dual-ring burner, sturdy cast-iron grates, and a sealed, easy-to-clean cooktop with durable stainless steel construction. Choose a model with precise flame control, safety features such as a thermocouple or auto shutoff, and a solid warranty to match your cooking style and kitchen size. Town Appliance offers several top brands of gas ranges, from Frigidaire to GE Appliances.

Which brand of gas range is best?

There is no single "best" gas range—top brands like Samsung, Whirlpool, Danby, KitchenAid, and Avanti each excel in different areas such as burner performance, build quality, and after-sales support, so the best choice depends on your cooking style, budget, and desired features. Evaluate models based on BTU output, burner configuration, material, and warranty, and read recent reviews to find a gas stove that balances reliability and the features you need.

What are the differences between a gas and an electric cooktop?

A gas cooktop uses natural gas or propane burned at the burner to produce an open flame, providing immediate heat control and visual feedback, while an electric stove uses electrical resistance or induction to generate even heat through coils or magnetic fields. Gas stoves generally offerfaster temperature changes and are preferred for precise temperature control, whereas electric stoves often provide more even surface heating and easier cleaning options, depending on the model.

What is the difference between a freestanding gas range and a slide-in one?

A freestanding gas range is a self-contained gas stove with finished sides and a rear backsplash, designed to fit between cabinets or stand alone. A slide-in option is meant to be installed between cabinets for a built-in look with controls on the front and a seamless countertop transition, making it easier to achieve a custom kitchen appearance.

What are the benefits of choosing a gas stove or gas range?

Gas stoves and ranges provide precise temperature control, instant heat, and even cooking, making them a favorite among home chefs. They are also more energy-efficient than electric models since natural gas often costs less to operate. Many models include sealed burners and continuous grates for easier cleaning and better heat distribution.

How do I choose the best gas range for my kitchen?

Start by measuring your kitchen space and deciding between a freestanding, slide-in, or professional-style range. Consider features such as convection ovens, high-BTU burners for faster boiling, or dual-fuel designs that combine a gas cooktop with an electric oven. Town Appliance offers a wide range of gas ranges from trusted brands like Samsung, GE, and Bosch, catering to every cooking style.

What is the difference between freestanding and slide-in gas ranges?

Freestanding gas ranges have finished sides and a backguard, which allows flexible placement in your kitchen. Slide-in gas ranges fit seamlessly between countertops for a clean, built-in look. Your choice depends on your layout, space, and design preferences.

Are gas stoves and ranges energy-efficient?

Yes. Gas ranges heat up instantly and cool down quickly, which helps reduce overall cooking time and energy use. Many models are ENERGY STAR® certified and designed to provide powerful performance while lowering household energy costs.

How do I safely maintain my gas stove or range?

Regular maintenance helps your gas range perform efficiently. Clean burners and grates with mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and ensure gas ports remain unclogged. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions, and schedule professional servicing if you notice uneven flames or ignition issues.

Do gas ranges require special installation?

Gas stoves and ranges must be connected to an existing gas line and properly vented for safety. Town Appliance offers professional delivery and installation services in certain zip codes to ensure your appliances are set up safely and correctly.
