Wolf Range Buying Guide

When it comes to buying a wolf range you have many options. Ranges come in many different sizes and styles. Each of these can be customized to suit your needs. 

Range Tops

Range tops can be as small as 30 inches and as large as 48 inches. As you examine larger models you will find that you can choose different configurations and customize your range. Take, for example, the 36-inch range. You can choose to have 6 burners, and nothing else. Or, you can choose to have four burners with either a charbroiler or a griddle. If that doesn't suit you, you can choose to have 2 burners and a french top. A French top is a flat surface that allows you to heat pans at a variety of temperatures. The center is the hottest part of the French top. The heat lessons as you move from the center. This allows the cook more control as she cooks. However, if you choose a 36-inch range with sealed burners, you do not have the option of a french top. A 48-inch range top with sealed burners has more options, including a French top. You can choose to have 6 burners with a charbroiler or a griddle, 4 burners with a charbroiler and a griddle, 4 burners with a duel griddle, or 4 burners with a French top. 

Types of Ranges

Wolf brand ranges come in three types, the range top, the gas range and the duel fuel range. The gas range and the duel fuel range both have ovens, as the models get bigger, another oven is added. Models with two ovens generally have one convection oven and one non convection oven. A convection oven is an oven that uses a fan to circulate the warm air and heat the food faster. Gas and duel fuel ranges can be as large as 60 inches. This allows them to have more customization options than the largest range top.
