Why Gas Ranges Are Still Gold-Tier
Serious cooks still reach for gas appliances for several reasons:
✅ Gas ranges are easy to adjust according to what you're cooking.
✅ Cooking with gas allows users to see the heat level instantly and adjust it immediately.
✅ Gas ranges work with cast iron, copper, steel, and budget pans, unlike induction ranges, which require compatible cookware.
Beyond these fundamental benefits, the best ranges for home chefs offer powerful sealed burners that last longer, are easier to clean, and keep heat better. Additionally, only a flame delivers the extreme heat needed for wok searing and fast stir fry cooking.

When to Upgrade to a 36 Inch Gas Range
A standard 30 inch gas range model handles daily meals but feels a little restrictive when you have large meals to prepare. Since most 36 inch gas range models feature six burners instead of four or five, that means up to two extra cooking zones, simplifying cooking management. That extra capacity supports sauces, sides, and proteins cooking at the same time.
Most upgrade models include stronger burners and precise low simmer settings. You also get heavier grates and better control knobs. Oven cavities are wider and hold full catering trays.
Overall, upgrading to a 36” gas range is recommended if:
✔You need more cooktop space without taking up too much cabinet storage.
✔You want more heat output.
✔You want premium features that let you do more.
✔You would like more oven space without having to purchase a separate wall oven.

How to Choose a 36 Inch Gas Range
If you’re wondering what are the best gas ranges for serious home cooks, there are a few criteria to follow. To help you choose the right one for your needs, here are three aspects to consider before buying a 36 inch gas range (CLICK THE ➕TO LEARN MORE):
➕BTU Output
Standard burners usually produce between 12,000 and 15,000 BTUs for everyday cooking tasks. Upgrading to 18,000 to 23,000 BTUs means faster boils and stronger searing power. Low-end output matters too for delicate foods. Look for burners rated near 750 BTUs for stable simmer control. Samsung (23K), Monogram (23K), and BlueStar (25K) are some of the most powerful 36” gas range brands on the market.
➕Burner Count
Another important feature on a gas range is how many burners it has. A 36 inch 6 burner gas range provides space to cook full meals without constant pan shuffling. Six burners support multitasking during holidays and batch cooking. Some models replace two burners with a griddle, grill, or wok cradle. Griddles handle pancakes and sandwiches and provide even cooking.
➕Oven Features
A 36 inch gas range often includes advanced oven modes that improve consistency and speed. For example, convection uses a fan to circulate heat and reduce hot spots. Some models also have air fry modes that crisp food using high airflow and elevated racks. Smart temperature probes prevent overcooking large roasts, and most models have Multi-rack baking that's reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a 36 inch gas range, plan for at least 600–900 CFM, and go higher if burners exceed 18,000 BTUs. High-output or pro-style models often need 1,000–1,200 CFM to properly clear smoke, grease, and heat during heavy cooking.
A 36 inch stove gives you more burner space and typically six cooking zones, so you can run multiple pots and pans without crowding. Most models also include a larger oven and higher-power burners, which help when cooking big meals or using oversized cookware.
Many homeowners are replacing gas stoves because induction and electric models produce no indoor combustion gases like nitrogen dioxide or carbon monoxide. Others switch to meet new building codes, improve indoor air quality, or gain faster heating and easier cleaning with flat electric or induction cooktops.
Thermador, Monogram, Wolf, and GE Profile are some of the most reliable gas range brands due to strong build quality and consistent parts support.
