Capital Culinarian Series CGRT362B2L

Current stock is all 23k btu open burners that go down to 145 degrees. New version coming out soon will have a "small pot burner" or simmer burner. There is plenty of discussion on the Capital open burner in this forum all you have to is google "gardenweb culinarian."

Grill is a hybrid. Gives you most of the power of infrared grill with the variability in temperature of standard grill so you can grill veggies as well as steak.

BTW They don't make cooktops with grills only rangetops.

This Culinarian is ~$3.8k.

The cheapest 36" lp rangetop with grill is $3.1k

I've been reading up on this range top and it looks really good. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Don't forget the much more powerful hood that your rangetop will need. You've got to find room in the budget for that as well. Especially with a grill!

Yea that's right. How powerful will it need to be?

1200 CFM according to the manual. In the middle of planning for a CC with grill install now. Don't forget that you may need to plan for make up air too depending on your local codes too with that powerful hood.
