Those pilotless burners will pay for the stove pretty quickly. The old one had 8 pilots running (we shut off three that werent used); that's $50 to $80/month depending on whose estimates you use and the price of propane. They kept the kitchen warm. Pretty amazing the heating power of 8 lights. Its noticeably cooler now. Downside is I can't dry pots over a pilot anymore.

 

So far the Blue Star stove really impresses me. No electronics to fry. As far as I can tell the only electric is the convection fan and oven light.Very sturdy. Everything fits tightly and well. Knobs turn with a little resistance (in a good way). Seems way better built than the big name ones like Viking or Wolf.
