I prefer a little overkill if I have to err at all... We never encountered a gate we couldn't get through, but this was real Maine, not Southern Maine. Thing is 64"... they take that trailer in trade. I could make mine work by reversing the sides so they go out and trim around the fender but i think it's jsut better to go a 6x12. Mine will be a 2 seater so no weight issue. My trailers actually got a 5k lb mobile home axle on it so the weight would help it ride better I guess the sanford up to sebago trails have some narrow gates and thats the closest riding for me and where these guys go 2-3 weekends a month Edited January 1, 2021 by Angry ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 i agree the glass top sucks to clean. I should have extended nat gas to the stove and done a gas/electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member SnowRider Posted January 1, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 1, 2021 Dark glass is fine. Positives outweigh the negatives. Ours is easy to clean. Had one with white top - that was not good. I asked the wife when we remodeled if she wanted gas and she chose not to - wish we would have. But I like our separate double oven set-up with separate smooth top electric cook top. Like the top oven - which is used most of the time - being at eye level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to take a while to boil water and both ovens are off by 25*..I love cooking so I figured it's about time Check you owners manual there should be a way to recalibrate the temp setting for the oven I think you can bump the temp up to 50* on some ovens, not sure about the cooktop settings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly we used to use a scotch brite pad and it worked awesome on a glass top. Anybody who thinks cleaning a glass top is a PIA is doing it wrong. My wife and I just switched to gas and although gas is nicer to cook with it is a far bigger PIA to clean than the glass top was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
