Can a tech recommend a reliable well built propane gas range for me?

I have an older model GE Gas Range JGBP26GEJ4AD from the eighties which is well made and has been incredibly reliable. My wife wants a new stove and despite my trying to convince her that none of them are as well made she insists.

Having serviced them can one of you recommend a reasonably well made brand (or model) that won't have obsolete parts in four years? I know the electronic controls seem to be the most trouble prone parts on the newer ones besides the thinner metal so any type...

Wolf DF304 NG to LP

Hi I have a 30in Wolf DF304 I'm looking to convert from NG to LP. Wolf tells me due to its age its a "liability" and will not sell me a conversion. I've done some research, it seems simple enough to convert the regulator to LP. My question is of anybody could lead me in the correct direction for orifice sizing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

LP to NG Conversion Wolf Gourmet AS30KI-4 (1999)

Good Day,

Purchased a pre-owned 30" Wolf Gourmet AS30KI-4 range. This was manufactured in October 1999 about six months before Sub Zero bought the brand. Looks to be in nice condition and seller stated such. Just picked up so have not even had a chance to plug in, still sitting in van. If its weight is an indication of the quality then this is a fantastic range.
It is currently set up for LP, I need to convert it to natural gas. Purchased the conversion kit through Dvorsons for...
