"You come in and see my Florjr.ce oil

won't be happy until you have one.
- "You can hjve a slow, simmering fire
on one burner at the same time you have
a quick, hot tire on another and the
other one regulated exactly to any work
you want dons. Just set the levers as
you want them and you can so away
for two hours and rind ail the burners at
exactly the same heat when you come

automatic and there are no icks.
"It's so simple, so clean, so conveni
ent, so cool, that I don't know what 1
