Looking for someone to install two 100lb cylinders (already in possession) in Barataria area. Tried calling the North numbers on NP's website but no luck with any.

Got through with Ramco in one call!
Free estimate in a couple days they said.

NP/RAMCO installs a regulator for the 100 lb tank to the kitchen (I have one on my wall outside) to bring down the pressure to whatever the standard stove uses. This website says "The 100 pound cylinder has high pressure in it until you install a regulator to bring the pressure down to normally 11 inches of pressure."

Unless it was a very special stove, which will clearly be documented in the manual, your friend should tell the associate to gather more training experience because he is costing the establishment some sales with his BS. When you say electric oven, you mean it just has a timer, thermostat and controls that are electric but the heat is still from gas right? Most modern ranges are like that today. Heating your oven with electricity doesn't make sense here since LPG is so cheap.
Once you have the correct pressure for the equipment you can use any size tank you want.Drea wrote:In a relating topic, anyone ever hear about a stove being limited to a 20lb gas tank.

Ok not a bad price.
because the timer would stay on the position too long and burn the contacts that would initiate the fill.Drea wrote:maj. tom wrote:Drea wrote:In a relating topic, anyone ever hear about a stove being limited to a 20lb gas tank.

I believe what was explained is the burners operate on gas but the oven uses electric (I and all confused yes) I dunno where these stores sourcing appliances now. Same trouble I had with finding a washing machine the other day, all the automated ones they was saying if u don't have a consistent high pressure water source they'll break down fast.
No idea. I got them from a friend who was migrating. There's someone in the misc forum however selling two for $1600.Strugglerzinc wrote:TurboSingh12 wrote:d.d.s. wrote:TurboSingh12 wrote:d.d.s. wrote:Only the north numbers I tried for NP. No luck.

what's the cost of the new tanks?
Electric ovens are preferred for more precise temperature control for baking. Gas cooktops are preferred for precise temperature control when sauteing.Drea wrote:maj. tom wrote:Drea wrote:In a relating topic, anyone ever hear about a stove being limited to a 20lb gas tank.
