True, re: gas comm. stoves. OTOH, an electric commercial convection
oven is great if you have room and $$. No vents needed.

I remember when our residential stove had a pilot light & now some
commercial stoves no longer have pilot lights.
Seriously, commercial stoves have huge venting requirements for a reason.
They put out a lot more BTUs but even more important they burn a lot more
gas. They need a huge vent and just as much make-up air. Don't provide
enough makeup air and the stove starts spewing out carbon monoxide.
Set one up in a modern air tight house and they might find you one morning,
dead, from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Subject: [MBZ] wolf stoves,
most commercial stoves are great, but most have pilot lights and also
require one heck of a vent fan to come up to code.? This is doable in my
neck of the woods but costly (and the vent fan on the exterior is
unsightly).? However, I note also that the commercial look alikes are much
more expensive than the real commercial stoves/ranges.? I would look at a
restaurant supply and try to get a new one if that is what you would do.?I
must say I considered putting in a cheap used stove, getting my inspection,
and then getting the new commercial stove and pitching the old cheap stove.?
However, I ended up getting a ge monogram and it has been excellent.? I got
mine off ebay and saved?close to 1K?off what several local dealers had to
offer.?

Only problem is that commercial stoves are not allowed in residential
housing according to the new building codes that are in effect in most of
the US. You can however buy one of those super expensive look-a-likes that
are made just for residential use. Look up wolf stoves.?

you should keep an eye out for local auctions. There are going to be?
a whole passel of them coming along if local conditions are any?
indication.?
?
Restaurants and stores are going belly up in record numbers. Their?
equipment hits the auction floors and goes for incredible prices. The?
nice large commercial stoves can be had for under $1k in good?
condition. Lots of other nice stainless goodies to be had as well.?
Need a walk in cooler? Sinks, prep tables, pots and pans? Goes for?
pennies on the dollar.?
?
AS for powering the stove, just ask around for how to change it up so?
that you can hook up LP. Going to take a very large Texas size?
propane tank, a few less BTU, but all is good. Your new pickem up?
should be able to haul it all home.?
