Hello all,
I have read, in a number of places, that gas ovens with a fan (to
distribute the heat, such as in electric fan ovens) exist.  I have
searched the web, and haven't been able to find one.

Can you find me one (or more)?  

Specifically: a 60 or 70 cm high, built in oven, powered by gas, with
a fan to distribute the heat.  Stainless steel finish ideal. 
Available in the UK, and built to UK specificatoin (I don't know if
there are others, but just in case.)

More than a couple gets a tip.  Thanks,

JM

Hello Jeremy

I've found two stainless steel gas+fan ovens which might suit you,
although the heights are just slightly outside your 60cm or 70cm
specifications. The manufacturer gives the measurements as:

Product dimensions(mm) W x D x H 595 x 550 x 712
	
Installation dimensions(mm) W x D x H 560-570 x 550 x 710

AND

Product dimensions(mm) W x D x H  595 x 550 x 569 (592)

Installation dimensions(mm) W x D x H 560 x 550 x 580


Just let me know if these would be any use - Leli

They sound spot on.  Please post the answer.

The two ovens are both in the Stoves Rotostar range. You can find
details by going here:
http://www.stoves.co.uk/help_me_choose/help_frameset.htm

and selecting:
Product type: Built in ovens
and
Fuel Type: Gas

When you click on "show me more" under the Premier 600GRa and 720GRa,
you'll find that both come in stainless steel (run mouse over little
boxes at top left), and you'll also find a link to this information
about Rotostar ovens:

"Rotostar is a revolutionary gas burner head developed to produce an
even heat distribution, whilst retaining the moist conditions of a gas
oven.
Unique technology places the burner head within a fan - which rotates
at high speed like a catherine wheel - in the back of the oven to
deliver a combination of radiant and convected heat."

The other fan-assisted gas ovens I found were in large freestanding
cookers. There are some false leads on shopping sites where built-in
ovens are described as fan-assisted, but the manufacturers' own
information is different.

The lowest price I found for the smaller Rotostar oven was £639:
http://www.direct-electricals.co.uk/stoves_600gra_single_gas_oven.htm

The only other possibility is a De Dietrich oven, in black, but I
couldn't find information about it on the manufacturer's own site:

De Dietrich UGC 402
Gas catalytic oven
3 cooking functions
Bottom Element
Grill
Bottom Element Plus Fan
http://www.electric-shop.co.uk/details.cfm/ID/12703

De Dietrich website:
http://www.dedietrich.co.uk

Some shops suggest Electrolux Cycloheat gas ovens are fan-assisted,
but this is misleading, as far as I can tell:
http://www.electrolux.co.uk/

After seeing how unhelpful the search results wth obvious terms (e.g.
gas fan oven) were, I remembered that UK oven manufacturers like to
give their "cooking systems" special names.

This search was useful:
gas fanned oven "cooking system"
://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gas+fanned+oven+%22cooking+system%22&hl=en&lr=&cr=countryUK|countryGB&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=0&sa=N

Hope one of these ovens will suit you!

Best wishes - Leli

That's the one!  Great work, thanks.  "Your dinner's in the cooking system", eh?

You need to be searching for "fan assisted ovens", they are electric
and are widely available throughout the UK.

I am in the UK and used to work for Powerhouse and Curry's.

Creda, Leisure, Cannon, Bosch, Tricity, Parkinson Cowan, Eletrolux,
and mnay more make the models.  I am not an asnwerer so can;t  help
further, but try that search term

Hi jeremymiles,

Built-in gas ovens with "fan heating" (as opposed to convection
heating) do exist in the UK - here is one. However, it is 89 cm high.
