LPG domestic cooker not requiring electricity supply?

Post by Harry Davis
Where can I get an LPG domestic 60cm x 60cm cooker on which everything
works without an electricity supply? I mean each ring, the grill, and the
oven - I don't care about any clock etc.

Well even the electrically lit ones I have seen could be manually
lit. I had one myself a few years back.

Any basic domestic gas oven should work without electricity. Replacing
the jets is required when changing fuels.

Unfortunately, quite a lot of people are telling me their gas ovens made in
the last 5 years won't work without electricity.

Yes, this is true. I first ran into this over 30 years ago, with a
two-oven unit. The smaller, upper one needed electricity, the lower,
large one, did not. Cookers I've had since then all require electricity
for the oven to operate. Of course, the hob can be lit manually, but
baking and roasting are out of the question.

You could get one older than that.

I thought most standard 60x60 "gas cookers" have had electric, not gas,
ovens for much longer than that.

<looks into kitchen> Not all. Mine doesn't need electricity once it's
lit, either. It's a Beko Cascade 50 from Comet if you're looking round.
The sales droid said that electricity was required all the time, but he
was mistaken, as the flame failure devices are all the old fashioned
"thermocouple and solenoid valve" type.

And to keep this on topic for the thread, it can be rejetted to use LPG
using an official manufacturer's kit. ;-)

Thanks for this. Do you need an electrical supply for the ignition? Or can
you run the whole thing without electricity, and light both the hob and
cooker with a match? Thanks again!

you used to be able to get gas cookers with battery ignition as well as
some that used a piezo effect spark.

It has a built in igniter which needs mains, but works fine as a cooker
when it's unplugged if you use a match, cigarette lighter or cheap piezo
igniter. No matter how you light it, you need to hold the control knob
pressed in until the thermocouple warms up.

Thanks for this. I've been having trouble finding one. So many droids are
telling me it's ever so dangerous to use matches. So I may just go out
and get one just like yours!

Just to confirm - can you light the oven (not just the hob) when it's
unplugged?

(I meant to say "oven" but typed "cooker" instead above.)

Thanks again!

Yes, just watch out for your hair and eyebrows. ;-)

Possibly freegle or freecycle via yahoo webmail - there's usually
a<location>swapshop if you don't mind handing over cash.
