Wow!
That is an awesome gas stove! One burner 16,000 btu, a 12,000 btu griddle, and I guess 2 9,000 btu burners? What is a "maid-o-matic" - anyone know? Imagine how much heat that would produce in the kitchen!
Reminds me of a cookbook featuring recipes written by children. I recall one recipe for Roast Turkey that began, "First you have to get the kitchen real, real hot then tell all the kids to get out of here..."
