After 20 years of using an electric stove, I am considering changing to
a duel fuel range. One of the key features is the front control panel,
safer for me than reaching over steaming pots to adjust the heat!

Just want to mention
(if hasn't been already, this is an old thread)
there are slide-in and drop-in electric stoves with front controls, that are
less
expensive than the dual-fuels.
