Is the Bertazzoni MAST244GASXB good for a small kitchen?

Yes. At 24 inches wide it fits galley kitchens, apartments and tight cutouts where a 30-inch range will not go. The trade-off is a 2.4 cu. ft. oven, which is small for big roasts and batch baking.

Does it have a convection oven?

No. The oven is a standard gas oven without a convection fan. Expect less even heat than convection ranges, and rotate pans during baking.

What is the 19,000 BTU burner for?

It is the power burner, meant for fast boiling, searing and wok cooking. The other three sealed burners handle simmering and everyday pots.

Does it run on natural gas or propane?

This version is set up for natural gas. Check the model and any conversion kit before buying if your home uses propane.

What comes with the range?

The range ships with its cast-iron continuous grates and storage drawer as part of the unit. Check the box contents for any included LP conversion parts before installing.

How does it compare with a 30-inch range?

It gives up width, a fifth burner and oven space, but fits where a 30-inch range cannot and keeps a high-output burner and continuous grates. Choose it for space, not capacity.
