Most old-time off-grid dealers know about Peerless gas ranges
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.peerless-premier.com">www.peerless-premier.com</a>). This is one of very few (if any?)
domestic gas range manufacturers who make models without the
electric glow-bar in the oven. Rather, these use an electronic
ignition for the burners, and which ignites an oven pilot when the
oven is turned on. The ones I have seen and sold (mostly years ago)
have been well made and have never brought us any warranty issues. I
had heard earlier this year that they were discontinuing these
models in favor of ones with glow bars.<br>
<br>
Today I called for an update, spoke with "Julie" in sales. Turns out
the news is good. All of the models with electronic ignition will
continue to be offered without glow bars. They have developed quite
a niche market over the years for units that go to off-grid rez
homes and remote sites, and see the value of continuing to offer
models that don't require electricity to operate.<br>
<br>
The electronic ignition models use AC power, but can be lit with a
match during an outage. They are also developing a line with
battery-powered electronic ignition for complete stand-alone use.
The models with standing pilots will eventually be permanently
discontinued.<br>
