Spare parts prices

We had a 1955 5 pilot light oven with a griddle, gas man says it was drawing about $350/yr on pilot light alone. I should have just lit the damn burners myself as it was really a neat old oven. The griddle was awesome as well as the little matching salt.and pepper shakers outboard of the built in clock. SOLD IT LOCALLY FOR $700! Now the new ones digital clock is stuck on timer and I'm on my 2nd ignitor and first thermal cut out.

I have a commercial stove at home. 24" griddle and four 25K burners, all with no pilot lights. I had a pilot for the oven but I only use that a half dozen times a year. The propane guy said I was going through 3-4 gallons of propane a month just for the pilot. I turned that off this year, if I need the oven I will light it and then turn it back off. I think this will cut my propane bill in half. We will see when next summer rolls around for refill time on my tank. This stove is built like a tank and will outlast me.
