Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jul 11, 2014 12:30 pm I was told by a staff member at a QLD Bunnings that new homes are no longer allowed to have gas ovens installed, due to some kind of safety regulations. I just want a simpe stand-alone gas upright stove with cook-top with 4 burners, oven and maybe even a grill - the cheapest one I can find! (but must have piezo ignition!) I don't want a seperate cook-top and oven set-up as I will simply be getting an inline kitchen and it seems much easier if I can just plonk the upright anywhere in the kitchen where it fits. I will be building in NSW but Google has been no help in chasing down this information, and Basix seems to be supportive of gas. We won't have mains electricity connected so an electric stove is not an option, besides I hate cooking with an electric stove! I don't want to buy the oven and then find out that it is not allowed for whatever reason... Does anyone know the finer details or where to get this information?

Re: Install of Gas Upright Stove Allowed in New House? 4Jul 12, 2014 12:33 pm To my knowledge, there's no such law, i think she's telling you porkies. Contact your local building authorities to check. Finding a piezo ignition all gas unit isn't going to be so easy. There's alot of them that have an electric ignition. Quality is like buying oats. If you want good,fresh oats,you'll pay a fair price. However,if you can be satisfied with the oats that have already been through the horse, that comes a little cheaper.
