The cooktop contains a gas burner having a gas burner height, and a cooking grate above the gas burner. The cooking grate has a cooking grate height. A gas oxidation height is the difference between the cooking grate height and the gas burner height. The gas oxidation height is from about 10 mm to about 40 mm and the gas range height is from about 350 mm to about 450 mm. A gas range also contains an oven, a cooktop and a lid. The oven contains an oven cavity and a plurality of oven exhausts. The cooktop contains a gas burner and a cooking grate above the gas burner. The lid covers the cooking grate and the lid has an open position and a closed position. An oven exhaust leads from the oven cavity to the cooktop and when the lid is closed the lid forms a flat top. A counter may contain the gas oven and a vehicle may contain the gas oven and/or the counter.
