I am looking to buy a dual fuel free standing cooker but the price is inhibitive.?

Question

Can I substitute for a built in electric oven and a gas hob to go on top of the oven. I could just get a plinth to place under the oven to give it some height. Is this practical or how do built in ovens work? Must they be "built in"?

Answer 1

Built in ovens will work anywhere, even on the floor (wont look very tidy though).The problem is that the hob needs to be in a work top as it is going to have a gas pipe connected and you dont need a fractured gas pipe. You dont say what country/area you are in.

Answer 2

You mean prohibitive. Have a look around the big DIY stores as they have different displays to help you decide. There is usually a nice man who will also explain how it can be achieved.

Answer 3

yes built in ovens fit into a caucus, free standing ones are great , have you tried e.bay this might get you a affordable one
