I have been reading this digest for several months and have found it very
interesting.  Now I have a question.  I am planning to buy a new gas oven
soon.  I have noticed that some ovens on the market now have the possibility
of being used as convection ovens.  I am intrigued by this possibility as I
have read somewhere that convection ovens are good for baking.  I bake most
of my own bread and am particularly fond of baking hearth breads - such as
sourdough breads- on a baking stone.  Has anyone had experience with a gas
oven that can be used as a convection oven as well as a "regular" oven?
Would you recommend it?  Any advice on the purchase of a new stove- oven
would be appreciated.  I know I want it to be gas,have at least one "extra
strength" burner, and be 30" wide (can't fit in anything wider.)  I will also
probably have to buy a new fan for over the stove if anybody has advice on
that.

Thank you.
