Most old-time off-grid dealers know about Peerless gas ranges
(www.peerless-premier.com). This is one of very few (if any?) domestic
gas range manufacturers who make models without the electric glow-bar
in the oven. Rather, these use an electronic ignition for the burners,
and which ignites an oven pilot when the oven is turned on. The ones I
have seen and sold (mostly years ago) have been well made and have
never brought us any warranty issues. I had heard earlier this year
that they were discontinuing these models in favor of ones with glow bars.
Today I called for an update, spoke with "Julie" in sales. Turns out
the news is good. All of the models with electronic ignition will
continue to be offered without glow bars. They have developed quite a
niche market over the years for units that go to off-grid rez homes
and remote sites, and see the value of continuing to offer models that
don't require electricity to operate.
The electronic ignition models use AC power, but can be lit with a
match during an outage. They are also developing a line with
battery-powered electronic ignition for complete stand-alone use. The
models with standing pilots will eventually be permanently discontinued.
Sharing this info in service to off-grid Wrenches everywhere...
