I love to do home canning and need a gas stove. Is it possible to change it? Which type of contractor would I contact and approximate cost? Should I sell it and by a new gas stove? Thank you for your time, Rangerwife 731 Last edited by Rangerwife731; 09-23-2009 at 10:08 AM. Reason: this job is for a professional

Classic Reproductions of old stoves that now use gas are available, although they are expensive. I went back to Ohio in 2007 for a H.S. reunion and visited Lehman's store in Amish country South of Akron. They make big deal about being "All Gas" because they sell still sell a lot of appliances (e.g. propane refrigerators) to the Amish throughout central Ohio. http://www.lehmans.com/store/Applian...GasRange?Args= . __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
