Bosch lists the NGM8049UC as an 800 Series 30 inch gas cooktop with five sealed burners at 41,700 BTU. One thing worth understanding about any gas cooktop with a heavy continuous grate arrangement: the grates are what actually carry the pan, and a grate that has warped very slightly leaves a pan tilted over the flame. Owners read that as a burner problem – food browning on one side – when it is the grate that has moved.
