Thanks everyone, (especially Red and Dan!) for the very good tips. As usual, I got exactly what I was seeking.... your helpful experience! Believe it or not, I know no one here who's ever used electric!
One more question... does the residual heat (after you shut it off) overheat the kitchen in warm weather? I don't think a CYV has exhaust to the outside, does it?
Only asking because I once owned a downsized Viking (albeit, gas) that gave off so much heat I couldn't cook on it in the summer, even with an industrial exhaust system. That sucker made my air conditioning rev into high gear long after it was shut off, and winter wasn't much better. Then, my furnace wouldn't kick on... it was stupid. Beautiful, but stupid.
I know I'm comparing apples to watermelons here... it just crossed my mind.
