what type of range is that?
an interesting one
its a 'hallman', custom made by the guys at austex appliances. they carry the infamous NXR (also available at COSTCO) but the story (according to saleswoman) is that there were a few issues people report with the NXR (knobs getting too hot, the way the stove door opens, the grates on top, etc.) so the owner of austex (last name is hallman go figure) contacted the same plant in california who is turning out the NXR stoves.
basically he signed an agreement with them to use the same manufacturing assembly line, but to put his modified touches on it; notably this one doesnt have 4 15k btu burners but 2 15k and 2 smaller btu burners, a different back, etc.
in other words, its basically the same unit as the NXR for sale at AJMADISON and COSTCO with a few changes.
i rolled the dice since it was $1600 INCLUDING the LP kit pre-installed. i was looking at 2100 at AJ or 2K at COSTCO (plus tax plus purchasing the LP kit separately & having to install it)
so there you go. its not even listed on the AUSTEX website yet, its pretty new so you have to call them to get the details.
eta look at the photos above. the MS paint one is showing the NXR (since i didnt have a pic of the HALLMAN) and the bottom is obviously the actual HALLMAN.
one nice touch..the logo was included in the box..not on the range so i can just leave it without a logo/brand at all on it.
