30 amp Electric Range

I was picturing my grandmother canning fruit with all 4 burners going when I was thinking about stoves. She had a coal range in her kitchen also. The coal range burned all winter long, not to mention a summer kitchen with another coal range in the back of the house. She was a 1908 model Pa Dutchwoman. They don't produce that model anymore unfortunately.

BTW, here's the stove you need for canning

I’d need gas.

Works good for me. 60 bucks for a 100 pound (22.5 gallons) Lasts me quite a while.

I have some tenants living in trailers out back. They have the the 120 gallon tanks like this. Some kind of level monitor on them that communicates with the cell towers. When they get low a truck comes and fills them. Propane company even supplies the tanks

When I was a kid, Regina next door had one like this

And those little tins got hot enough to burn your finger as she found out when she first got it and was making me a cake. She got so mad at me for laughing I got the silent treatment for the rest of the day
 
If there was enough demand, they'd make something like this:

These fridge/microwave combo has an outlet behind a NC relay within the microwave and when the microwave is in-use, the fridge is "unplugged" so that refrigerator does not stay on when the microwave is in use. I never really understood the real world usefulness. RLA of a small fridge is like 1A, so I'm not really even sure what difference it would make to unplug it for 5-10 minutes while the small 12A microwave is running.
