Having a double oven is soo much more convenient than just having a single oven. You can have your joints of meat roasting away at one temperature, and have your vegetable side dishes roasting at another – and better yet, get everything ready to serve at the right time.
Even if you don’t use both ovens for every mealtime, there will certainly come a time when you’ll be very glad to have two at your disposal, and will be Thanksgiving ready.
And we think gas is a good choice of fuel too – much quicker to get going and preheat than the slow electric powered counterparts. Sadly however gas double ovens seem harder to come by than electric ones. But if you do a bit of digging there are some around – and some great ones in fact.
We’ve been checking out a number of the best ones, and we’ve now come up with our Top 5 Picks. We’re going to be showing you our product reviews on these great gas double ovens very shortly, and after that we’ve also got a handy buying guide for you which walks you through everything you might want to think about before you buy.
In the interest of brevity, the product selection shows only wall gas double ovens and ranges, and not countertop ovens.

Thor Pro-Style LRG4801U 48 inch Gas Range
Summary
This is a great gas double range for big families. You’ll have no problem with Thanksgiving dinner with this beauty at hand.
It features two gas ovens side by side, one larger, and one slightly smaller. It should be about level with your kitchen countertops, since it’s height is 34 ⅞ inches, while the depth is 27 ⅜ inches, and its 48 inches long.
Altogether you get a whopping 6 cubic feet of interior space for roasting and baking, meaning you could have your meat and your vegetable side dishes in one oven, and all the while have a desert baking in the other oven, or racks of cookies.
And having these ovens side by side, gives you room on top for a whopping 6 burners – great for boiling frozen veg or heating up canned goods. These burners are all independently operated, which is great when you have something slow cooking for a while and you suddenly get a request for a specific side dish that you have to heat up quickly. All you have to do is turn the right dial.
The larger of the two ovens also features a convection fan, and we’re fans (pun intended!) of it, because it means your food will be ready quicker.
And that’s not all – there’s also a removable stove top cast iron griddle – great for making fluffy pancakes or french toast.
The stainless steel surface is a breeze to keep clean.
The range comes complete with a 1 year warranty on both parts and labor.
Pros:
- 6 cubic feet of oven space
- stainless steel finish
- 6 stove top burners
- Integrated griddle
- 1 year warranty
Cons:
- Premium product at a premium price

Verona Prestige Series VPFSGG365DSS
Summary
With this beauty, you get a counter height range that’s only slightly wider than what a vertically stacked double oven would be.
The exact dimensions are height 35 ⅜ inches, depth 24 inches, and width 35 ⅞ inches. So it won’t stick out from your cupboards.
The oven on the right is the largest, offering 2.4 cubic feet of cooking space, while the smaller one on the left gives 1.5 cubic feet of cooking space. This is plentiful – have your main dishes cooking in the main oven and cookies baking in the left!
Both ovens have a special broiler function, and the main oven also features a convection fan, so hungry tummies can get fed faster!
And having this wider stove top means you can get 5 burners on top, and have pots and pans of any size, including woks.
All the dials are right at the front of the appliance, so there’s no having to reach through the cookware to do the controls.
The range is all stainless steel, very sleek, well suited to any kitchen, and easy to keep clean to boot.
We’re also very pleased to see that it comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty – very reassuring.
Pros:
- Won’t stick out from counter
- Total of 5 stovetop burners
- Convection fan in main oven
- All stainless steel & easy to clean
- 2 year Manufacturer Warranty
Cons:
- Premium product at a premium price

Summary
There’s a lot to love about this gas double oven too.
First off, it’s vertically stacked so it takes up less width in your kitchen. To be more specific the dimensions are 47 1/4 height x 30 width x 29 1/4 depth in inches, and as such should not stick out from your kitchen counter.
You get plenty of oven cooking space, 6.8 cubic feet in fact – which is more than you’d get with a standard side by side double oven. Plus there’s also plenty of room on the stovetop too. Specifically, room enough for 4 round burners, plus an oval burner in the middle which can be used with the included griddle, really boosting your cooking method options.
The burners differ in how much heat they throw out, and you can utilize this to your advantage – boil your eggs super fast, or leave foods to simmer and reduce in their sauces…mmm.
Having an edge to edge cooktop like this is great for when you want to slide one pan from one burner to a burner on a higher or lower heat, so you get all the food ready to serve at the same time.
The range looks good both inside and out, and it’s easy to keep it looking that way. There’s a built in steam clean option for the ovens, and the range’s grates are all dishwasher safe.
You’ll also be pleased to hear that a 1-year original manufacturer’s parts and labor warranty comes included in the price, as does curbside delivery.
While there aren’t many customer reviews available via the link, we can assure you that elsewhere on the net customers are raving about it.
Pros:
- 6.8 cubic feet of oven space
- Fits in with your kitchen counter
- Very easy to keep clean
- Integrated grill
- 1 year warranty
Cons:
- You have to reach through the pots and pans to access the control panel
Best Gas Double Oven Buying Guide
As promised, here’s a walk through of everything you might want to think about before you buy your gas double oven.
Do you need burners?
Most gas double ovens these days come as an entire gas range, rather than just with the 2 ovens, and our product selection reflects this. And this makes it far better value for money. You get more cooking space, more versatility for your cooking, and all your missing is a tiny bit of food prep area.
Side by side vs stacked on top
When it comes to side by side vs stacked on top, neither is necessarily better than the other. Of course having the ovens stacked on top is a great space saver, however on the flip side having the ovens side by side means more room for burners on top.
As a general rule vertically stacked ovens tend to provide more actual oven cooking space, but this can vary quite considerably, even within the same brand.
Either way it is essential that you know exactly how much room you have your appliances before you buy. Since the size of the appliance is such an important factor in your decision on which to buy, we were sure to include the product dimensions in each of our product reviews.
Price Point
A gas double oven, is something that can be referred to as a big ticket item, which means it can be particularly expensive to buy. You can typically expect to pay over $1000 for one, and there are many on the market today that come to well over $2000.
In fact there are also a number of gas double ovens on the market where you can expect to pay closer to $5000.
Any double oven that comes under $1000 is not going to be up to standard and won’t give you the kind of long lifespan you want from such a big ticket item.
Brand
When you buy from a well established brand, you know you’re getting a good quality product that you know you can rely on. In our Top 5 Picks, we were sure to include ovens from some of the best brands on the market.
The main brands in this market that are currently selling best with retailers at the moment include GE appliances, Thor, and Frigidaire. The reason we didn’t include any Frigidaire products in our Top 5 Picks, is because they specialize in electric ovens and not gas ones.
Special Features
If you’ve already read our product reviews for our Top 5 Picks, you may have noticed that some of them have other features beyond a simple double oven and a few burners.
If you’re interested in a range that you can control via an app on your cell phone, or via your Alexa device then we would recommend going with our Number 1 Pick, the GE CAFE CGB550P2MS. But that’s more of a bonus than an essential.
Many of our Top 5 picks also include an integrated grill, which can be super handy if you’re inclined to use it – it’s like having an extra frying pan.
We also like ovens that feature a convection fan, and this has a number of different potential benefits. You can cook on a lower heat, and therefore save energy, the environment, and save on your bills to boot.
Plus it means you get food ready sooner too, which is a big plus when you’re cooking for hungry kids. If you’re interested in an oven with a convection fan, then we can recommend our Number 3 Pick, the Thor Pro-Style LRG4801U or our Number 4 Pick, the GE Appliances JGB860SEJSS.
Warranty
If possible, it’s always good to go for appliances that come complete with a manufacturer’s warranty. Not just because it means that you can return or replace the product free of charge, if for any reason you’re not entirely satisfied with it. But also because it’s a sign of good quality.
As a general rule the length of an appliance’s warranty is generally the minimum length of time that the manufacturer expects the product to remain in top working condition.
