a year or so ago that I would go out in 40+mph winds and rain, to pick thru a pile of stoves, washers, dryers etc piled behind Sears, but there I was last night... LOL Lots of newer stuff, smooth top ranges, white faced Kenmores, etc. Did score one filter flo lint strainer from a smashed BOL model with only two toggles, a brand new set of oven racks for my 84 hi lo range, and some spare Calrod elements. Saw one nicer near TOL Kenmore washer in good shape, with the dispensor along the front edge under the lid. Most were smashed being thrown off the truck. Anyone need anything off a newer model Kenmore?

Only two toggles?

COOL-

I actually bought three stove off of the truck (drivers) that was delivering my new gas dryer. (These were the pick-ups from people that were buying new ones.)

I was able to clean-up and fix two of them that were gifted to a friend who had jsut bought a house and needed one for him and one for his tenants.

The one I wanted for me was a Caloric brand; a new black-glass door was NLA. Sad thing was the drivers broke the door. It was prob. intact when picked-up. the only thing the stove originally needed was a new broiler element.

YAY to rescue and recycle!
 
Sears in Calvert

It is the only appliance dealer in the whole county, and usually they keep everything in locked trailers, but I noticed last night as I drove back from the gym that something was back there.. must have been 30 or so items that are just sitting out in the weather, all to be junked I am sure based on how they were tossed.

Yes Steve, only two toggles.. and it was smashed in on the sides. There was a large gas stove there, with a griddle in the center, not sure of the brand.. if you still need the door..... :-) let me know.

I have not ever cooked on a smooth top, strictly old school here.. just as well, since I have three of the calrod style stoves.

I am going to look a bit more tomorrow night, this time with a flashlight to see what else is there just for fun.
 
Toggle-- When I bought ranges for the house 3 yrs. ago, I was positive I didn't want a smoothtop electric. I wanted coils, because I thought smoothtops were chump. Several friends said "Get the smoothtop, you'll won't be sorry." So, I relented and got a smoothtop. I LOVE IT! The burners are more powerful than the 13,000 btu. burners on my gas range and it's SO easy to clean. No regrets at all. In fact, I only use the gas burners if the electric is booked up.

Mine has a black glass cooktop, which is good for hiding minor spills.
 
ALWAYS a freikin trend-setter! Hot damn!

Same here.
NO ONE uses electric here in this area unless gas is not available.

I'm hooked on my smooth-top!

FASTER
COOLER (and a much tiny-er oven vent too!)
CLEANER
SAFER...than gas (There are more electric stoves in this country than gas, yet as a class FAR fewer accidents).

AND DOES NOT POLLUTE INDOOR AIR!
my little back-up gas range is now a vestigial *organ*

Turned my whole family on to it, and they are slowly converting FROM gas!

and wait till induction becomes affordable..OH LA LA !
 
Smooth Tops

I have my GE Smooth Top for 5 years now and LOVE it. I always like gas, converted to electric 15 years ago, but with the solid cast iron elements. The cast iron ones took too long to heat up and too long to cool down. The smooth top heats up almost as fast as gas, and the cool down is so much better than the coil. The smooth top is just wonderful to keep clean also, and it boils water much faster than gas, and the lower temps are also great for making rich sauces, gravies and keeping warm and melting butter.

Would never go back to gas. I also think the electric oven is far superior to a gas oven since I do a lot of baking.

Ya hear that Steve.... 'Butter'
 
Well for me,....i have gas and love it, always cooked with it.
No electric range can beat gas for instant adjustment of heat levels which i hear induction can very closely match.

I would be very inclined though to go with an induction range when manuf. offer them in 30" units.
 
Electric Ranges Smooth Tops

No more dirty grates to clean..

No more disgusting drip pans to clean on elec or gas.

No more dirty walls over the stove to clean.

My baked breads bake better and come out larger.

When I have a bufffet, I use the cooktop to keep the foods warm.

LOL ROFL LMAO
