I have an older Wolf oven (under range) with a bad thermostat. The local service company wanted to charge 280$ just for a thermostat. I found a compatible one on Grainger for 130 bucks. I'm considering doing the swap myself. Diligently...

Thanks, I couldn't figure out where the thermocouple could possibly be on my range. I think I'll simply turn the screws for the pilots off, and use a welding sparker or some such. Why in the world do commercial ranges not have a...

I've been igniting the pilots with a propane torch, which is very hot. Could that be why they light immediately, even after overnight?

You will need to contact the alcoholic beverage board of your state. Every state has different regulations, and usually there are many different types of licenses. For example, my license covers beer and wine, but only if 50% of my...

My restaurant has an older challenger range with 8 burners and a griddle. When I purchased the restaurant, most of the burner pilots were out; and as we get close to opening day, I'm concerned, though my cook isn't. Do you typically...
