stoves [RE-wrenches]

[Dana Orzel]

1 - Each pilot light is worth 3 hot showers per day. Add that up!
2 - We have a DCS 6 burner stove with oven and radiant broiler and ran a
BRAND power meter on the glow plugs, the glowplug pulls 235 watts while the
unit is firing and 0 when not firing. The stove top spark igniters use 2-3
watts while sparking and 0 at rest. Due to the great insulation in the walls
of the oven it is off more than it is on. Most  residential/commercial
stoves  [VIKING, WOLF, DCS, etc.]  fall into this  scenario. We looked all
over and could not find a high quality commercial type stove that had spark
ignition in the oven and broiler.
If any one knows of one there is a market for such a product.
3- Purchasing Hint - shop at restaurant supplies in large cities. Negotiate
there is room to bargain.
4 - Commercial units usually come with no insulation , No UL listing, and
come with all  pilot lights but you need to come up with excellent side and
back heat protection to protect your cabinets. Typically in a commercial
kitchen all of the cabinets are stainless steel so heat is not an issue.
