stoves [RE-wrenches]

[Chris Daum]

Hi Wrenches:

Another note on gas stoves:  Peerless-Premier offers electronic ignition on 
its top-line products, which only takes 2 to 3 watts for a few seconds. 
 There is no glow bar, which can pull 300 to 400 watts per hour the oven is 
on--quite a large battery drain.  With electronic ignition, stoves (burners 
and ovens) without AC power can be lit with a match; some folks just don't 
like having a pilot light lit.

Peerless-Premier also sells a cheaper line (like, for discount stores), but 
I'm unfamiliar with what options they may offer.  My understanding is that 
there's a significant quality difference between their top end goods and 
the cheap stuff.

Regards,

Stoves w/out pilots use ignitor bars, also used in propane dryers, these
ignitor bars consume @ 600 watts heating the thermo coupler, once the gas
valve opens then they (ignitor bar) shut off until the thermostat requires
more heat. If you have a good tech usually 1 can re configure the stoves to 
a standing pilots.Pricey tho because U need to change the oven controller
and install a thermo coupler but the retro kits can be configured We just
size the BB a bit larger but its not a really big thing until  Christmas
dinner and you have the oven on for 6-7 hrs snowed for the past week,
lights on and the back up generator is in the shop......cold raw turkey 
ummmm
