This oven doesn’t get as hot as it’s supposed to. The stove is probably 20+ years old. Any expertise out there? Replace thermothingy? Ideas?

No idea, but I envy you the professional grade stove. Thinking about redoing our tiny kitchen ...

Hey stranger, how’s the kitty? And Mer ry December to you. Are you Jewish? Isn't everybody in New York Jewish? (That was a joke...)

I am a Jew, but a Christmas Jew - have the lights to prove it. Cats are fine. And the stove she’s interested in is this one - Italian - what could possibly go wrong?  https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/MAS244GASXELP.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=MAS244GASXELP&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjZLhBRCAARIsAFHWpbEL8mKQFJY0VPRqTmQse0WP_HlofUSBU5TY7AQBAKKLgKPfPU2VAY8aAnsgEALw_wcB

I would try replacing the thermocouple. They're pretty cheap. That beast is worth fixing!

It’ll likely be  an issue with gas delivery inside the oven - either the jets, regulator or the supply tubing. www.allvikingparts.com

Ooooh, I hope it’s an easy fix. I don’t even like cooking but I like that stove.

If you have any friends in the restaurant business ask them who they use for repairs. :)

Christmas Jew because Jesus Christ or because you like the decorations? Just curious. No judgments from me either way. For me, it’s both, but I enjoy the feelz of the season.

Agreed. And ought to be fixable.

I am wondering about the flexible supply line to the stove; the line is fitted down one size, like from 3/4 to 1/2, or 1/2 to 3/8. But the oven behaves the same whether there are any burners turned on or not.

I love the stove. I’m pretty sure it’s more than twenty years old and ready for some maintenance.

I have no religious inclinations at this point, but I love the Christmas season and the snow, and the movies, and the pleasure that comes from saying Merry Christmas to everyone who wants to hear it. And we get to tip the building staff, even the mail carrier. Anything we can do to make their Christmas merrier.

I like all of that and the Savior too. A guy was telling me how he likes to see the look on Muslims’ faces when he wishes them that. Dude runs an AMPM. #weapo nizechristmas
