Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?
Went to the warehouse to look at the range this morning. It's a Viking Professional range but it's a household model. Data plate on the back says certified for household use and it has a normal-sized gas connection and ordinary 110VAC power cord. It does seem to be in good shape, and the included hood is a plus. But good to know that it's not actually commercial when it comes to bidding on it. Also good to know there should be no code, insurance, etc. issues with installing it.

Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?
How much do they want for the thing? (or if bidding, what is the expectation?) A year or two ago the local cooking school was selling a few 48 Viking cooktops for pretty cheap, I should have grabbed one... alas. --R On 2/7/12 9:23 AM, Allan Streib wrote: Went to the warehouse to look at the range this morning.

I had the same experience trying to buy a new furnace blower motor from the local supply house. Would not sell to me for liability reasons. Ordered the motor online and had it in a day or two, installed it (three screws and a couple of electrical connections) with no issues.

Graingers is like that. If you are not a business with a tax ID they won't sell to you. I just give them a former employer's name and tell them I'm picking it up and paying cash.

Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?
For natural gas yes. IF you have propane at home then you will need a conversion kit with different sized gas jets and the internal regulator will have to be set for 10 wc. Google the model number and see if it is a true commercial model. It may be a home model. That said the installation of an inexpensive used stove and hood is still less then the cost of the same thing new plus the installation. ;-) Manfred Date: Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:25:50 -0500 From: Allan Streib str...@cs.indiana.edu Subject: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?

Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?
Another thing to consider - it just came to mind - you would also need to check on the volume (of gas) this thing requires, as if it's substantial, you might have to increase the size of your gas line to the appliance. They will probably list the consumption in BTU/hour or CFH. This is always a big deal in the generator business, as people see a 1 NPT inlet fitting, and they think they can run a line 50 feet and the generator will still have adequate volume at full load. They usually find this out the hard way, like when they fire up the generator and all of their pilot lights go out. Dan On Feb 6, 2012, at 2:53 PM, M G wrote: For natural gas yes.

Yes, it is. 5-7 WC or about 0.18 - 0.25 ounces psi. You can measure it with a simple slack tube manometer if you want. A couple feet of small diameter plastic tubing and some colored water.

Re: [MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?
I'm on the lookout for some gas steam kettles in the 20-30 gallon range for our local brewclub. Some of us want to do full keg all-grain batches. Plus our hackerspace is paying rent in beer, and the 5 gallon batches are getting tedious. If you see any please let me know. I've seen them now and then in local auctions and they usually go for scrap value of the stainless - about $1/pound.
