The KoolMore KM-CRG36-LP is a commercial-style liquid propane range in a wide 36-inch footprint, though its 2-burner layout is sparse for that width at $2,315. Five reviews averaging 3.6 stars suggest mixed real-world satisfaction, so buyers should shop carefully at this price.
Cooks who need a propane-fueled freestanding range in a 36-inch space with open-burner commercial styling. Suits rural kitchens or food service setups where natural gas is unavailable.
Skip if
Anyone expecting 4 or more burners at this price point, 2 open burners on a 36-inch body is an unusually low count. Also skip if you need digital controls or a published oven capacity spec.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The KM-CRG36-LP is a liquid propane open-burner range with a tall, floor-standing commercial profile. At 36 inches wide and 60.6 inches tall it is clearly sized for a semi-commercial or food-service context rather than a standard residential kitchen.
Open burners offer direct flame and easy cleanup under the grates. Knob controls keep the interface simple and mechanical, no electronics to fail. The polished finish resists grease and cleans with a wipe. Two oven racks are included, and freestanding installation means no cabinet cutout beyond available floor space. Power draw for ignition is 115 volts, standard household service.
With only 5 reviews at a 3.6-star average, confidence in this model is limited. The $2,315 price is significant, and the lack of a published oven capacity figure makes it hard to assess baking headroom without contacting the manufacturer.

Performance notes
Open burner liquid propane cooking delivers fast, adjustable heat. The tall 60.6-inch height and 36-inch width align with commercial or semi-commercial usage. Two oven racks support basic roasting and baking. Knob controls provide direct proportional gas adjustment. The 115-volt requirement handles ignition only, an external range hood is strongly recommended for ventilation.
What buyers say
The limited review pool of 5 ratings at 3.6 stars makes it difficult to draw strong conclusions, but the score sits below what most buyers expect from a $2,300 appliance. Interest appears driven by the propane capability for off-grid or rural kitchens, though the low burner count relative to the unit width is a consistent concern among reviewers.
Does this range work on natural gas as well as liquid propane?
The KM-CRG36-LP is configured specifically for liquid propane. Switching to natural gas typically requires a separate conversion kit. Contact KoolMore directly to confirm availability of a natural gas version or an LP-to-NG conversion for this model.
Why does a 36-inch range only come with 2 burners?
The open-burner commercial layout uses heavy-duty burner grates with wider spacing than residential designs. This is intentional for certain food service contexts but does limit simultaneous cooking capacity compared to residential ranges of similar width.
What electrical service does this range require?
The KM-CRG36-LP runs on 115 volts for ignition and controls. Because the cooking fuel is liquid propane, no 240-volt circuit is needed for the burners. Standard household wiring handles the electrical load.
