First the problem. I have a GE Range with a small simmer eye in the back
that will not light for anything. The electric starter is indeed sparking
the lighter for that eye. Every part is on it correctly but it will not
light for anything. If I put a match or lighter beside it no problem it
lights right up but the sparker will not light it off.



New purchase question. We are building a new home in Alabama and will be
putting new appliances in the kitchen. We plan to use Gas for the Cook eyes
and electricity most likely for the oven. What is the We are thinking also
about a commercial type Range (as in Viking etc) because we have heard that
they heat up a lot quicker and cook better. Something about higher BTU
elements. What is the best combination of cook top eyes or burners in a
Gas stove top? I've seen some at Lowes or Home Depot that say they have ONE
burner that is 16,000 BTU for quick heating. What can one expect from a
commercial unit and I have also heard that you have to take extraordinary
(aka expensive) measures to vent that type of cook top.
