Definitely talking about Force 10 propane stove (no experience with electric).
Looking at their website, seems all new Force 10's have "fold-away" oven doors
as opposed to a conventional hinge-down door. The door has an articulated
hinge and tucks along the floor of the oven, thus covering what would be the
burner. To accommodate, Force 10 moved the burner to the back of the oven
creating uneven heating. On the plus side, the space in front of the oven is
clear in tight galleys and it's balanced when gimbaled. It's an ingenious
design though in my experience - it's a lousy oven. If a person values "form"
over "function," look no further.
