I would love to give my wife a fully restored, cobalt blue O'Keefe-Merritt Grillevator stove (as part of a full kitchen remodel to boot, because it would require it). Unfortunately, we don't have gas in our neighborhood, and the nearest supply is at the corner of our street (I once asked the utility what it would cost to run a hookup to our house - it would be cheaper to buy another house).

Which is unfortunate - they are awesome looking and very functional units; there is nothing on the market like them today.

How much does it cost to install a large propane tank and convert the old appliance? Older appliances are easier to convert than newer ones.

And if it hasn't been restored yet, just convert as part of the refurbishment process.
