Stove February 18, 2001, 01:24:40 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2123I was told that putting a single front burner in the center of the stove meant that the output of that burner could be increased. Since hardly anyone needs 4 burners, I'd think 1 high power and 2 "normal" would be a good choice. /noel/
Stove Reply #1 – February 19, 2001, 06:46:39 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2152Ed Newton told us that no one can actually use the close-together burners on a 4-burner range top. Not our experience. We often did.we note that bigger coaches seem to have fewer burners. Two in many diesel pushers.I have seen 4-burner stove tops available in RV catalogues.bob phillips

We often did."We have never actually used all four burners - but we have used adjacent pairs. It doesn't fit our meal plans to have four things cooking on the stovetop at once. But I DO see a problem if using the corner back burner while both front burners are occupied. Access could get pretty dicey. Thus, if cooking three items, we use both back and ONE at the front. It is easy to see the rationale behind the three-burner RV stove - it's to keep access easy and safe.Steve
Stove Reply #3 – February 20, 2001, 05:11:43 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2184We use four burners often - two under a griddle and the others for a frying pan and a coffee pot or sauce pan, but it is a little crowded.

Stove Reply #5 – February 20, 2001, 06:17:22 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2190"We use four burners often - "We cooked a turkey in the oven for three hours one Thanksgiving while a ferocious storm raged outside. We were next to a lake, and the wind howled off the water and drove the rain horizontally. For ventilation, all we could do is have the covered rear bathroom vent open, with a cabover bunk window just cracked a hair.It took a month of cleaning, spraying deoderants, and airing out to get rid of the smell of grease and meat. It REALLY liked the velour trim and thick upholstery. You'd think you finally got it, and the next time you open the door to go in, it would hit you like a punch in the nose.New rule - we don't cook anything on the stove (or oven) that will stink, including most things you'd put on a griddle. We either use the barbeque - our first choice for cooking anyway - or a portable propane stove, outside on the picnic table. If we have no choice, the Fantastic Fan goes on high for the duration.Steve
Stove Reply #6 – February 20, 2001, 06:38:18 pm Yahoo Message Number: 2194We, also once cooked a Thanksgiving turkey in our LD. We did so while driving from San Diego to Red Rock Canyon East of Bakersfield (CA). It was one of our best holidays ever.No wind slosh, only stock Chevy suspension rocking, and no residual oders.We bought our 86 to take a trip to AK and came to love it too much to part with. We kept it for 15-years and still had strong psychological reactions to the uphohostery smell (after 15-years). We just walk in, and our eye blink rate slows. Add some Zamfir; and we have peace.

Stove Reply #7 – February 21, 2001, 03:50:13 am Yahoo Message Number: 2210Steve,I don't know what model you have. But on the new ones, there is a powered vent right above the stove. It seems to do a good job removing cooking smoke and odors.OTOH, the steel mesh filter needs to be steam cleaned once in a while, so your idea of cooking outside is a good one.-Bob, 2000 MB
Stove Reply #8 – February 21, 2001, 10:23:49 am Yahoo Message Number: 2215"...there is a powered vent right above the stove..."On the old ones too, but it is noisy, and only moves a fraction of the air of the Fantastic Fan on low - which is located very close on ours, and via a path that avoids the velour. For short cooking jobs, the hood fan is ok, but three hours for a turkey...Steve
