Do you only have a single “burner” running off 120V outlet, or multiple?

Considering a custom dual fuel setup. Since I’m limited by a 125AMP panel and we are almost maxed out between an electric heat pump, washer/dryer and maybe an EV.

I have a single "burner" that I got from Amazon for $50. It is a 120V, 1800W version. If I were buying a stove/oven for my house, I'd still buy a gas stovetop with an electric convection oven in a heartbeat. I had one in a previous house and I miss it constantly. It had two very large burners and two smaller burners. I loved the exact control with almost instant response of cooking on a gas stove. I work in the energy industry, so I don't lose much sleep over it.

Most gas ranges are gas stove tops with gas ovens. To get a gas stovetop and a convection oven, you’d have to do them separately.

We are done with our gas stove top, it is just so much harder to keep clean than an induction stove top. And it boils water a lot faster.

They make stoves that are gas top with an electric convection oven. I've owned one and I checked just now and they're still available. They're the best of both worlds for our household.
