One or two 18,000 BTU Star Burners are added to ranges with the remaining burners being 15,000 BTU.

New Male Menopause Edition Ranges
Garland adds a crazy 60" range, and a whacked out 72" range. Who but a man having a mid-life crisis would buy a 72" range? Garland and La Cornue should pretty much own the 72" range market of what; say 7 units per year? See La Cornue for further comments from the Advisor.

New 30" Wide Indoor Grill
Though this 30" indoor grill may be a perfectly nice product, and they may sell a bunch, don't you be one of them. Grilling is best done outside, not in a house with expensive cabinets, and nice furniture with clean smelling upholstery, and healthy people. Grilling inside is bad. A 30" grill is just 18" worse than the normally bad 12" unit found on many pro-style ranges and cooktops. What part of "bad" don't you understand?
