Home Cooked Meals with Spencer's Ranges
Shop Dual Fuel Ranges
What is a dual fuel range, and what are the benefits of adding one to your Arizona kitchen? Here is everything you need to know.
What is a Dual Fuel Range?
A dual fuel range uses two different fuel sources within one appliance. It means the cooktop is powered by gas and the oven is powered by electricity.
Ranges are actually two appliances combined into one, merging a cooktop and an oven. The dual fuel model allows customers to buy these combo appliances without sacrificing their dreams of cooking on a gas stove. Having two fuel sources also increases cooking flexibility, allowing amateur chefs to prepare dishes with the best method possible.
In some cases, a dual fuel range might come with more than two appliances built in. For example, more ranges today have air fry compatibility in their ovens. This provides a third choice for preparing meals for family members and guests, resulting in crisp, evenly cooked dishes.
Dual Fuel Range Sizes
You don’t need a large home to add a dual fuel range to your kitchen. These appliances come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different kitchens. Here are three examples of dual fuel range sizes and the features of each model.
Café™ 30” Stainless Steel Slide In Dual Fuel Range
Café proves that you don’t need a large space to have a powerful and flexible appliance. This is only a 30-inch range, but it comes with two ovens and six gas burners. You can prepare large meals with complex dishes and multiple sides without cluttering your kitchen.
Customers love this dual fuel range. More than 93 percent of reviews would recommend it to others. One buyer writes, “Used both the upper and lower oven when we made the first meal with our new dual fuel range. The six burner layout is perfect and controls are very exact.”
LG 30” PrintProof™ Stainless Steel Slide In Dual Fuel Range
Most ranges have similar height and depth measurements to accommodate standard kitchen cabinets. The most significant difference with this model is its width — this model is 30 inches across to accommodate common kitchen designs.
This model by LG comes with four standard gas burners and one long burner in the middle. You can place the griddle on this burner or cook with an oblong pot. The oven comes with LG’s ProBake® Convection system, air fry technology, and even has an air sous vide setting, ensuring your steak and salmon come out so tender that it practically melts in your mouth.
Check out online reviews to see what customers think about this dual fuel range. One buyer writes, “This is the first stainless range I ever bought and the addition to my kitchen is truly an upgrade. It adds a more modern look and allows so much in the way of cooking choices. The range top has so much room for any size pots or pans and the grill is perfect. The oven is large enough for any size turkey and the reference book is handy so I can refer to it for proper usage and cleaning. I am so glad I bought it.”
KitchenAid® 36” Stainless Steel Commercial Style Freestanding Dual Fuel Range
KitchenAid offers a dual fuel range at 36 inches that’s stylish, large, and in charge. You can order this model in nine colors, ranging from Avocado Cream to Passion Red.

Read buyer reviews to see what people think about this range. One person writes, “We just got our monogram less than six months ago and since we’ve had it, we love using it it’s worked great and we recommend it to anybody that’s looking at getting one in the future.”
Monogram® Statement Collection 48” Stainless Steel Pro Style Dual Fuel Range
If you want one of the largest dual fuel ranges on the market, you can’t go wrong with this model by Monogram. It is 48 inches wide and comes with two ovens that are side–by–side. It has six large burners that handle various pots and pans, plus a built-in griddle for pancakes, grilled sandwiches, or French toast. Easily synchronize a variety of kitchen appliances, including surface lighting and even the vent when the burners are on, with Chef Connect to stay completely connected to your culinary space. And unlike other models, this Monogram dual fuel range is equipped with an industry-exclusive custom color LED accent light with adjustable brightness, perfect for matching the kitchen décor or creating a dining ambiance.
The majority of customers love their Monogram dual fuel range. One person says, “It has unbelievable space, ease of use with removable and adjustable shelving within the oven, and all the bells and whistles that make cooking for large family gatherings easy and fun!”
Dual Fuel Range Pricing
You can find dual fuel ranges at a variety of price points. The size, brand, and features you choose will all affect how much you pay for these appliances. At the most basic level, you can pay around $2,000 for performance-driven smaller dual fuel ranges that keep things simple without all the bells and whistles. These ranges can then expand in size and complexity (like the addition of smart technology) until you reach high-end models that can cost over $12,000.
Many companies that produce commercial-style appliances for residential homes create pro style dual fuel ranges. You can find a range that gives your kitchen a professional feel, even if you’re just preparing meals for two each night.
Wolf 60” Stainless Steel Freestanding Dual Fuel Range
This dual fuel range by Wolf is a great example of a luxury appliance that can elevate any kitchen. It is 60 inches across, so you may need a large kitchen for this range if you are an avid home chef. It comes with two full-size ovens that are placed next to each other rather than in a stacked configuration to save space.
This range has six burners and a full-size griddle that doubles the size of most models you will find on the market. You can find ranges like this in restaurants and professional kitchens across the country.
This is an ideal option if you have a large family that you need to prepare meals for in a short amount of time. It is also a good choice for homeowners who are passionate about cooking and who enjoy preparing complex meals.

FAQs
Learn more about dual fuel ranges with a few questions we’ve gotten from our Arizona shoppers.
What are the benefits of a dual fuel range?
There are several reasons to choose a dual fuel range. These appliances allow you to cook with gas and electricity while using one appliance. You can save space while using your favorite cooking methods. Gas cooktops are also easier to adjust and immediately apply heat to pots and pans, creating a more flexible cooking experience.
What are the drawbacks of a dual fuel range?
A dual fuel range might not be ideal for your home if you don’t already have a gas hookup. Not every house can support gas and some condo associations won’t allow it, now that more states are impending gas bans in homes. If this is the case with your home, choose the best possible electric range to cook with instead.
