We bought a Fridgidaire. Their bottom of the line, I'm sure. As far as torching it, I can't recommend it as that would make me an accomplice...;). Have to maintain the perception of innoccence and all that. I'm feeling better. Thanks for asking. I want to be better before the walk about tommorrow night, so we are taking time off this week. How is your stove? Have you started the task or are you here putting it off? :tongue_smilie:
