Default electric stove

Hi Guys,

I am looking to purchase an electric stove for a customer of mine. He wants to install in a

guest house which has a sub panel 30 amps single barker in the entire guest house. Is

there any stove that works on a 120 volt with minimum amp, if so where I can purchase it.

Thanks
Nafis

I think there are some "Barbie" stoves that work with a 100 watt lamp
the menu might be a bit more limited than your customer desires.

The only 120v low amp ranges I know of connect to a propane tank.

As brad suggested, apartment sized (24") gas stove with an outside propane bottle. That's what I put in my cabin. Works great. I could get it with either a plug-in electric ignitor or a piezo(sp) ignitor.

I'm assuming you don't want a two burner hot plate and a microwave.

A one or two burner hot plate is about all you can run for an "electric stove" on a 120V service with such little capacity.

I didn't see Cold Fusion's post. Good ideas. And yes, it is spelt "piezo".

A hot plate and a toaster-oven would be the closest to a range in function.
