Hey David,
I wish I could convince my clients to use a no AC power source ignition
for baking and broiling. I gave up years ago and never could convince my
wife.
The power system needs enough storage for winter use of appliances. The
ranges now all have convection cooking and some can air fry.
There would be a higher divorce rate by trying to avoid the use of 500
watts to run an igniter. Wife acceptance factor or significant other. 😉
If I had to, I would specify another Premier or the Unique. I have a few
clients that have a 2nd range in the garage
and that is their spare. It avoids the need of service in the dead of
winter offgrid.
It would be a fantasy to have good appliance service where many of my
people live. Good Luck!

appreciated!

<< We are ready to replace our cook stove, it is a Premier & we love it
but have had problems finding parts for it & people to work on it.
The only major appliance co who makes a cordless/non-convection oven
range is Hotpoint, which is pretty basic but could work.

The other one we are looking at is a Unique Appliances brand propane
stove - for off-grid use - their "classic retro" model doesn't have
great reviews but the basic model sounds good.

I'm wondering if you are familiar with the Unique Appliances brand & if
you'd recommend them?
We also considered the Premier "Pro Series" ranges but they are spendy
& I'm afraid we'll run into the same trouble finding parts & someone
who will work on them, which could also be an issue for Unique.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the topic? >>
