Does Anyone Have a 24 Inch Gas Range (Stove)

Montana — Thu, 10 May 2018 04:03:32 GMT

My kitchen is very small and I think a smaller range would be better. If you have one, is it working as well as the standard size?

ETA to change “oven” to “range”

I think mine is 24. It is small. You can't fit much in it. Mine is a wall oven. My stovetop is a normal size.

Had a vacation rental with a 24" four burner gas stove, was a little workhorse! They are popular for cabins up here.

Can't recall if it had 1 or 2 shelves.

I'd stick with a name brand.

My wall oven measures 22” from one interior wall to the other. The only time I’ve had a problem is when I’m roasting a larger turkey for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Since the turkey’s the only thing that’ll fit in the oven, the side dishes have to be baked separately. I never have a problem when I’m baking cakes, pies, cookies, etc.

Had one in a vacation rental. It was fine for our purposes but I wouldn't want to make eight dozen cookies or a 25 pound turkey in one.

@ Montana

My oven is original to my house, which was built in the late 1970s, and is 24" wide.

It works great, it holds enough for my purposes (I don't make big family dinners so the size has never been an issue), and only two things are annoying:

1) It's hard to set or reset the clock as it's analog, not digital, and needs to be turned and turned and turned to reach the right time.

2) I would have to replace the complete set of cabinets if I wanted a new oven since they don't make 24" ovens anymore.

If you have a source for new 24" ovens, please share. Thanks!

@GingerPeach, Sears, Lowe’s, and Home Depot all sell 24 inch stand alone gas ranges. And Amazon even has a few.

I didn’t check for electric ones.

Thank you, @ Montana

Mine is electric and it's built into the cabinet. It is not stand-alone. I've checked all over.

I thought you were asking about an oven, not a range.

@GingerPeach, is this the type you’re looking for? This is at Lowe’s.

Sorry, I threw you off with the wrong term. I grew up calling ranges either a stove or oven.

@GingerPeach, Amazon has some 24 inch electric ovens. Maybe those brands are also sold elsewhere.

@ Montana

You are very kind to remind me. Unfortunately, I not only have to make sure the width will work, but the height. There is not only the oven, but a smaller oven below, making the total height a factor.

All of that means that I'm still at the mercy of the cabinet configuration!

Either I have to spend big bucks to get new cabinets, or just live with my original oven. I don't think it's worth it to try to do any "fill in" carpentry to match the 1970s cabinets I have to make a new oven look OK in the existing space.

Eventually when I sell my house, I'm going to let the new owners figure it out.

Thanks again. And I hope you find exactly what you want for your place.
