Thanks!. I'm going to order the range Monday when the place opens.

I read the range specs for distance to surfaces and overhead etc. 30" to directly overhead, 18" to adjacent overhead.

Yeah, I figure the stove won't be flush to the wall at first. That's okay. I'm just trying to get a half assed but working kitchen together so I can feed the holiday hordes. I can worry about pretty later.

Do you know, the 21" shelf/riser option is $830!!! Screw that. For $800 I can put subway tiles and polished copper sheet on the wall, and install steel shelves above.
