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

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

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!
