Bob, They make huge ranges these days, several feet wide, the sort of thing you would expect to find in a commercial kitchen. They include warming drawers, things I don't understand and even on the cook tops things like griddles, barbecue pits and six or eight elements. You probably need a hundred amp circuit for the range alone.
I remember our next door neighbour in Kirkland Lake when I was just a kid about the mid '50s having a side-by-side oven electric range. I don't remember much about it except how proud she was with it. They were a family who had it all on the never never plan, a progression of television sets which were really new up there at the time and we only received one television signal and that pretty fuzzy from Timmins about 70 miles away. Anyway, what I remember mostly was that it was huge and my mother commenting on the fact that dear Juliette didn't really cook when she had a single oven. I don't remember what if anything was under the ovens, maybe just storage drawers maybe nothing at all. I don't recall there being more than four elements on the top either and that was well before ranges had exhaust fans integrated into them. Double ovens were relatively common in England but usually one over the other and usually hinged on one side.

I would think a side by side would require a lot of baking to make it worth the lost space. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dale Leavens To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 10:17 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] all I want for christmas is a double oven range+reason for gas question Coil cook tops are still made and they also still make the solid plate type. While I haven't been in the market for a range in a long time the standard sizes are 24 and 30 inches. There are now many larger as well. I have only seen double side-by-side ovens in wider ones but there may be some as narrow as 30 inches I don't know that. I have also seen some one above the other but not often, more commonly when I lived in England. So, they do make the top you want but I don't know about the double oven.

I want a double oven range with a *coil* cooktop. However, I don't know of any ranges that have this setup, so thought gas (at least for the top) was my only choice. Hence, I asked about running a gas line. Now, lets suppose gas is not an option. Can you fit a double oven and a cooktop in the same space as a standard range? This is assuming of course coil cooktops are still made.
