Because measuring a stove is a tiny adventure. It’s part math, part guesswork, and part “please don’t break the drywall.”
You learn that stoves are like people. They have a height, a weird offset, and a secret capacity for drama. (But stoves don’t steal your leftovers.)
This is a fun topic because it’s useless until the moment it’s life-or-death. And by that, I mean calorie-or-catastrophe.
So go ahead. Grab that tape measure. Measure your stove’s flue. Check its BTU. Wave at its little legs.
You now know something ridiculous and specific. That’s a victory. Go cook something.
