Most old-time off-grid dealers know about Peerless gas ranges (<a

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>
<br>
Sharing this info in service to off-grid Wrenches everywhere...<br>
