Gas does seem to heat up quickly and get hot fast. <br /><br />Fun to see the GS 550 :)Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-12911055405974305372011-10-31T18:13:20.458-07:002011-10-31T18:13:20.458-07:00RichardM:

Much more control, plus if there is a power failure, we would still be able to cook. That's also why we have a gas insert in the fireplace, for emergencies<br /><br /><b>Geoff:</b><br /><br />Suzuki GS's were bulletproof and reliable, except for their stators. Have to make sure your oil level is always full.<br /><br />I think a Flash Hot water system would save power as we have to keep our tank heated<br /><br /><b>Charlie6:</b><br /><br />my stupidity, should have used the pot holders.

When I was a kid (grade 5-6) and living in Princeton we had a gas stove where the burners would turn on all by themselves when you were the only one home. <br /><br />Found out later they said the house was haunted. To this day I still refuse to have a gas cooking stove.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-51299052563316666722011-10-31T08:19:22.663-07:002011-10-31T08:19:22.663-07:00Bob, you need an Ove Glove, maybe two or three!!Bob, you need an <a href="http://tinyurl.com/66fft7h" rel="nofollow"><i>Ove Glove</i></a>, maybe two or three!!David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-15291103798907049632011-10-31T07:00:05.806-07:002011-10-31T07:00:05.806-07:00Pretty good burns there Bob, next time though can ...Pretty good burns there Bob, next time though can we have shots of the burn separate from the food port? <br /><br />: P<br /><br />dom<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://redlegsrides.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Redleg's Rides</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-14097-Colorado-Motorcycle-Travel-Examiner" rel="nofollow">Colorado Motorcycle Travel Examiner</a>redlegsrideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927757855921321097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738356784230164028.post-40521836648206977542011-10-30T20:45:23.124-07:002011-10-30T20:45:23.124-07:00Bob:

Too expensive for us to change unfortunately as I like gas.<br /><br />There are a lot of the Suzuki GS range still about in NZ too.

I guess I could re-jet a stove for propane. There is a big push to build a gas pipeline parallel to the oil pipeline but it's pretty expensive and very political. <br /><br />As you observed, pans heat up much faster and you have more control than conventional radiant burners. I hear that induction burners work just as well but they are really expensive and I'd have to replace all of my pans. <br /><br />I hope your thumbs heal quickly and your tomato beef looks pretty good. <br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
