Blodgett 981-966 Gas Deck Oven

Features and Benefits:

This Blodgett 981/966 Gas Deck Oven is superb for operating alone or in combination. This ability makes it ideal for warming, cooking, or baking a variety of dishes. Covered from top to bottom with vitreous fiber insulation, this Blodgett 981/966 is maximized for heat retention. An aluminized steel baking compartment liner and combustion chamber also hold in the heat generated from the main and pilot burners.

This Deck Oven's stainless steel front, top, back, and sides make it painless to clean, while its fully ironed frame makes it durable. Stainless steel adjustable legs keep the unit steady and concealed hinges on the counterbalanced doors make it handy to transfer food from oven to counter. This particular Blodgett 981/966 also comes with a vent kit and double connector for stacking. Temperatures are easy to set with the main gas valve, temperature control valve, and safety pilot valve, which are tucked away within the section body for both your safety and convenience. The liquid pressure thermostat has a temperature control range from 200℉ (93°C) to 500℉ (288°C).
