My personal preference is to have gas for the range/stovetop. It’s easier to make quick changes to the temp. I prefer electric for the oven – baking and roasting you want a consistent, dry, oven. But I’ve been told that the newer gas ovens cook much more evenly than they used to.

October 26, 2010 at 5:34 PM #622898AnonymousGuestAgree with UCGal – Seems the historical consensus with chef types is gas stovetop / electric oven.
Gas line cost – if the gas line can easily be run through attic/crawlspace or exposed in garage to common kitchen wall on backside of oven location – probably a few hundred.

October 26, 2010 at 7:00 PM #623573NotCrankyParticipantGas piping is figure on BTU’s available using “developed length” for the diameter of
pipe(s) in the run. For such short distance as you mention it likely in not going to be problem if the pipe in the garage is at least 3/4″ and is also near the regulator which is usually is right at the meter.Possibly the meter is farther away, but gas comes to the house on a larger line(to protect available btu’s and then steps down to a smaller pipe, either way you would still be fine. If the doubt raised bothers you, have a plumber calc it out, or otherwise remove the doubt, and give you a bid while they are at it.
