Re: [RE-wrenches] Propane range options for off-grid?

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

I found this brand at Home Depot.  No Ac required. Uses battery ignition. I didn’t look into reviews and Ive not used it.  Jay Summit Appliance 30 in. 3.7 cu. ft. Gas Range in White WNM210P homedepot.com On Sep 26, 2023, at 4:16 PM, Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:  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 garageand 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!

Dave Palumbo   << 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.  https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/hotpoint-specs/RGBS200DMWW#tab2_   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. <UGP30GOF1W-1.jpg> Off-Grid Classic 30" Propane Range (Battery Ignition) uniqueappliances.com   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?  >>         _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
