Old oven died. Installed the new one today
-
Idk if installing a gas range DIY is actually dull. Seems kinda cool to me.
-
I'm sorry yours is dying too.
- it is not, it's a 30" unit
- went to my local big box hardware store website, searched for gas ranges and picked the cheapest gas one that was available quickly, in white, with the griddle.
- that's all the research.
-
It does feel poweful/liberating to be able to do things like installing the oven. We replaced the old because the oven igniter kept failing. I replaced it four times over the last 9ish months. And when it died again Monday my wife and i decided we were fed up with an over we coulsnt trust anymore.
That being said, the install was really easy. Turned off the gas, disconnected the old oven, and pulled the male to male connector for the gas line off the old oven. Connected the gas line, plugged the oven in, turned on the gas, and slid it into place.
-
We really didn't want to spend nearly $800 on an oven, but my wife and I are excited about it too.
-
Yes! And it's so good. I love making fresh naan.
-
I will! Thank you!
-
Do you have any favorite recipes?
-
It is when you've done it a few times. Gas plumbing isn't really that different from water plumbing, you just use different materials. It takes like 10 minutes to connect everything.

Go with induction if you can. Gas isn't great health wise.
While it's nice being able to cook during a power outage, a camp stove is usually sufficient.
-
Induction woks are a thing
-
Looks beautiful. Hope you have better luck than I did with that narrow, low-sided grill. I found that grease and food were constantly falling over those edges. Stopped using the thing after a few months. I really miss my old grill.
-
How proud you must be. And rightfully so.
-
If you really love cooking with a wok, you can buy specialized induction stoves. There's absolutely no reason to poison yourself with gas.
-
why didn’t you go with induction?
My European mind cannot comprehend buying a gas appliance in 2025.
-
you can buy one of those induction hotplates if you want to try it out
-
Water cannot ignite. Don't be blown.
-
Well, there go my plans for the weekend.
-
I wish it will serve you well. Bon appetite!
-
It's so much easier to cook omelettes on the griddle, too.
Just avoid hamburgers and bacon. Way too much grease.
-
I am in EU:
- Preference. Some people dislike induction due to worse cooking quality.
- You need to buy shit cimpatible with induction
- I thought about induction. Was enough for electrical installation in my home to catch fire. And I only semi-joke, because the bitch did catch a fire. I'd neew to invest in rewiring to be able to use induction.
