We recently converted from an electric cooktop to this unit because the ceramic glass top cracked under the weight of my 20 gallon brew kettle,  The clever 5 burner arrangement is very flexible for anything from small to huge cooking projects.  The cast iron grates with this unit are incredibly strong and the ability to quickly heat and hold a stable 154 degree F mashing temperature easily was an unexpected and welcome bonus!  Cooking on gas is a pleasure, and this cooktop does it extraordinarily well.
