RE: OT- ovens/ranges

My mother-in-law used that arrangement from time to time when she lived in
Colorado in the 80's.  She eventually got a propane stove to supplement.

Since we bought our first house in  '54 I have never had a conventional
"range."  I have always had the oven separate from the cooktop.  And since
we moved here in ''70, I have had a gas cooktop and an electric oven.  Just
seems to work better that way for me, and if we are out of power I can still
cook.  Until we redid the kitchen in '92, my ovens had always been above the
counter.  Now I have two large ones below the counter, but not beneath the
cook-top, which is on an island in the center of the room, with storage room
below.  
In fact, when I was a child, living with my grandmother in Florida, the oven
was on top of the kerosene stove she used in the summertime when she didn't
want to heat up the large wood stove. I'll bet no one else remembers
primitive arrangements like that!

not regional, I don't think.  They are called both here.  Also, Theresa's
message seemed to indicate that oven is also synonymous w both stove and
range, but to me the oven is the bottom part of a stove.  Or an oven can be
purchased separately but has no cooktop surface.
