Yeah, otherwise that's one mean mother.

My mate works for the gas board - shall I tell him to expect a major loss of pressure if that is connected to the mains?

Thanks for the info Terry.  I will either go down this road or go to the expense of a nice SMEG hob plus the cost of some one fitting the damn thing.  Something to ponder for the New Year.

terrydraper,

i'm real big fan of burners. just say if you need any pointers.

i found it very different and took 3 months to conquer.

always been interested in what size in kw is the cut off for what's needed - will much appreciate your thought's once you feel comfortable. i know 3kw is not enough and mine at 8.8kw is probably too much.

there's a few existing posts to search out if you need.

Just bought one of these (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332813108636) for the hotel (allegedly 40kW !)
