As a general rule, gas stoves use neither BTU's (British Thermal Units) nor wattage (watts). Wattage, although it is a measurement of joules (rate of energy conversion), is typically used to rate consumption and output of electrical devices. A gas stove will produce btu's (heat) and should be labeled as such on the stove itself or in the manufacturer's specifications. A typically efficient modern gas stove will put out about 20,000 to 25,000 btu's per hour. To convert btu's to watts multiply by a factor of 29.307%, i.e., 20,000 btu's X .29307 = 5,861.4 watts per hour.
A gas stove will consume energy (unspent LP or natural gas) at a rate known as "therms" (heat energy equal to 100,000 btu's), or equivalent to burning 100 cubic feet of gas per hour. So, using a gas oven at 350° for one hour will consume .112 therms vs. about 2,000 watt-hours for electric.
If you are looking to compare gas stoves to electric stoves, the energy costs vary by location and supplier, but it should cost you around $0.06 per the above example's gas stove-hour vs. $0.17 for an electric stove-hour.
The optimal BTU rating for a gas range to ensure efficient cooking performance is typically between 12,000 to 15,000 BTUs per burner.
To determine the appropriate size orifice drill for a natural gas burner using 5,000 BTUs, you typically need to consider the gas pressure and the burner design. A common rule of thumb is that for natural gas, approximately 1,000 BTUs requires a drill size of about 0.025 inches. Therefore, for a 5,000 BTU burner, an orifice size of approximately 0.065 inches might be appropriate, but it's essential to consult manufacturer specifications or a gas sizing chart for precise requirements.
uhhh, you got any gum
Not all double gas wall ovens have the same number of BTUs. For instance, BlueStar makes a double gas wall oven that has a 25,000 BTU burner and one that has a 30,000 BTU burner.
1 therm of gas is equal to 100,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units).
The BTU (British Thermal Unit) rating of a Maytag gas range can vary depending on the specific model. Typically, burners on Maytag gas ranges may range from about 5,000 to 18,000 BTUs, with some models featuring a high-output burner for rapid cooking. To find the exact BTU ratings for a specific model, it's best to consult the product specifications or the user manual.
The optimal BTU rating for a gas stove to ensure efficient cooking performance is typically between 7,000 to 12,000 BTUs per burner. This range provides enough heat for various cooking tasks without wasting energy.
how do we get our gas range converted back to natural gas
A four-burner range refers to a cooking appliance that features four separate burners on top, typically part of a larger oven unit, allowing for multiple dishes to be cooked simultaneously. In contrast, a gas stove can refer to any cooking appliance that uses gas as its fuel source, which may or may not have multiple burners. While a four-burner range is a specific type of gas stove, not all gas stoves have four burners; they can vary in the number of burners and configurations. Essentially, the term "four-burner range" is more specific, while "gas stove" is broader.

1 standard cubic foot of natural gas gives about 1030 BTU
The gas burner may not be lighting due to a lack of gas flow, a clogged burner or ignition system, or a problem with the gas supply.
