Re: Replacement stove

I have an old 4 burner with oven that's works well. A little rough but very serviceable.
Free, to be picked up.
When I sold my Argosy in Apr the owners wanted a MW in its place. Excellent stove so didn't discard it.

Similar to most homes countertops are a fairly straightforward job on an Avion. An inexpensive upgrade that can greatly enhance the decor.

Granted for a home we would use solid wood for the panel but I'm also trying to reduce weight. Raised panels are also ...
