Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: common house stoves

[Rob Sandelin (Floriferous]

At Sharingwood we went with residental quality stoves to avoid the unneeded 
energy waste and expensive of commercial stoves. We have a six burner stove 
top that came in two burner sets so it was easy to install far enough apart to 
put big pots on. (4 gas, 2 electric). The big gas one, 1500 btu heats up big 
ol pots of water just fine, and the electric is nice for that simmering saute. 
We have a regular residental exhaust fan that has worked well.

We have two stacking wall convection ovens, that work capitally for baked 
stuff. 

Where we lack is in refrigeration. We have a recycled, modest sized residental 
refer and it is not adequate. Its relatively quite tho....
