Choosing a separate LPG oven/grill

[BecsF]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm on the hunt for a built-in (i.e. separate from hob) oven/grill that is LPG gas only, with no need for 240v. All the ones I'm finding seem to require an inverter or mains power - usually to power a fan which keeps the outside cool. Is this necessary or can I run one of these without hooking it up to electric power? (we are liveaboard boaters and don't want to use the inverter for cooking). I saw in a previous forum thread this one recommended - Belling 170MLPG - but I can't find it available any more. It looks like it has been replaced with this - https://www.midlandchandlers.co.uk/products/belling-bi702lpgpr-built-in-oven-n654  which apparently requires 240v (because of the cooling fan). 

 

The boat is a narrowboat and we have space for 60cm wide and 60cm deep (the depth of the current, not working, oven). Ideally we'd like a single oven, with a gas grill inside, but double oven/grill also good. We would like to go for a domestic type if possible.

 

If anyone knows of any suitable models we'd be v grateful for the pointers. It's hard to tell from the specs whether they can be made to run safely without electric power (e.g. using a lighter for ignition and not having a clock), or whether it's just not possible.

 

Thank you!

Some of the Thetford ones are sold with 230V ignition units (but no other fans, timers or other electrics), but can be converted to 12V ignition.

I've got a standard cooker and hob arrangement, a Newworld 55TWLG. It also has the mains cooling fan. I don't switch the main inverter on every time I need to use the oven or toaster but have a small 150 watt inverter sitting next to the oven and switch that on. It would be good to have a 12v fan, but that's life.
