Need Professional advice for a new oven

Well, it seems that I am at a crossroads in my baking venture. I need a second oven and would prefer gas but we have to have LP out here. With the volume of baking I am doing now for our market I am thinking that a regular home oven isn't going to last long as I am running the oven for two days for about 15 hours a day. A second oven would cut my baking time down considerably and make my life easier!

So here is my question. Can someone please tell me where I can purchase a professional oven- 36-40 inches in width, preferably gas with an LP conversion kit or if I have to have electric that would do too I guess. The closest two large cities to me would be Minneapolis/ST. Paul, MN or Fargo, ND.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have already checked out the Sears brand of Professional ovens but the want that would work for me is only for natural gas.

Flourgirl51,

I would check Ebay, it normally has a great choice also professional gear and sometimes free shipping.

Used restaurant equipment is always for sale. Call a local restaurant supply place and see if they can direct you.

Electric  are always much more expensive to run.

I live in a very rural area and there are no large cities that may have such an auction house within 5 hours from me. Thanks also for reminding me that electricity would be much higher than gas. I see that there are some dual fuel ranges out there but all that I really need is the oven. The search continues...
