I have an OLD apartment size gas stove that I used to use to can before I moved to the farm. It is perfect for it as the pot sits closer to the flame than the new fangled ones.
I only have LP here. I'm not sure whether orifices are standard or whether I would be able to get one. Is LP larger? Friend said she thought it was and she had drilled out an orifice when it was obsolete.
I haven't turned it to see if it has information on the back. I wouldn't be surprised if it was an old General Motors or something. I was just hoping I could drill it and someone knew the size bit.
Funny story. When I was a kid grandma wanted a new stove. We went to Great Bend and bought one. The kid that installed it had the wrong orifices in it. Grandma put in a roast and came back an hour later to a house full of smoke. She grabbed the Dutch oven and dropped it out the back door where it promptly burned an oval hole right throught the door mat. I knew dinner was in jeopardy when I got to the door and saw that hole burned in the rug.
