griz326 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm building the wife a new kitchen. Our existing stove has gotta go! However, a high BTU stove & hood costs about $5500 here. I'm wondering if I'd do better getting the wife to send one back from China while she is there. Our cooking fuel is propane. I do not think that the electricity or fuel will be a problem, however the fittings & pressure regulators may be. Anyone have experience with this? TIA!

Guest Tony n Terrific Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Depending on how large of BTU burners you require here is a company that maybe able to help you. I was looking to buy a 36" wide stove and ran across this company. Also try good old Sears too. http://www.lpappliances.com/p36sealed.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberjack1234 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Tony, I think he is thinking more along the lines of a flame thrower. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get you a picture in a little bit - we just did some re-routing of the (gas) plumbing yesterday to put the shower on a separate tank from the stove. Looks as American (non-metric) as apple pie to me, but wouldn't you only need to worry about the connection to the stove? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lil' mail order bride makes me food to die for on a hot plate (and quick too) with a regular hood fan. I told her to get a stove when she was designin' the home but she said no needa. Mebbe she ain't Chinese I'll have to look closer to the stamp on her tiny mail order hiney. tsap seui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need good reading glasses to read the stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessir, you are a man after my own heart, and the fact is, it often takes lots of gropin' around, over and over countless times, to even find that lil' stamp. tsap seui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy W Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 The metric and English fittings, for the most part, are interchangeable (I installed a pressure gauge on a 100 psi metric fuel injection system). I don't know if this picture helps, but here it is! http://i45.tinypic.com/258pco0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griz326 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks everyone for the help. Yes, I am looking for blow torch burners. Later today, a commercial restaurant sales guy is going to give me a quote for a commercial hood w/fire suppression and tempered makeup air. With the cost of these commercial hoods, we might stick with what we have. Of course, we might get a break buying from China if the shipping doesn't crush us.
