ZLINE RT-BR-GR-36 Rangetop

I bought the 48” Range Top and am very happy with this purchase. Burners fire right up and burn hot. The grates are heavy and hold heat well. The even grates make sliding pots/pans from one burner to another a breeze. The unit is heavy-duty and great looking. For the 48” Range Top, instructions indicate the cabinet cutout needs to be 48 1/8” which would be difficult with a 48” base cabinet. A 1/8” filler or a custom 48 1/8” custom cabinet would be required. This was an issue for me since I had already purchased a 48” cabinet. But it turned out that a 48” cutout was sufficient. Hooking up the unit is simple. But I was a little surprised the regulator supplied with the range top is 1/2”. I have 3/4” running from the gas meter all the way to the regulator, so it would have been nice to have a 3/4” regulator. However, with all burners running, there seems to be sufficient gas flow to run all burners simultaneously. Very happy with this purchase.

Isn't porcelain some type of ceramic? I wonder how they turn it into a surface layering for this stove. I think they did a great job. The burners are also pretty solid. Cast iron grate seems hard-wearing. The grates on my old range eventually began to rust, which I doubt would happen to the grates on this one. But, I think it's too black, but that's just me. Overall, I'm impressed by the classic and sophisticated appeal, which isn't always the case in many other stovetops.
