The biggest difference in my opinion is cost. In the beginning you’ll find the electric ovens cheaper in the start-up phase. However, you’ll find that once your store’s running the electric bills are more expensive. I ran one store with electric Lincoln Impingers and the electric bill is constantly in the $800-$1000 range (1200 square feet).

Gas ovens are a little more money but I’ve got a store around the same square footage and my electric bill has been averaging about $350 and gas about $250.

As far as final bake, I really don’t see too much of a difference. If anything I’d say the gas ovens cook a little better. -J_r0kk

Thanks for the info.How do you like the L.I’s?Do you have a full size one(5-7 ft conveyor)or a tabletop one.I was thinking about a Blodgett but still not sure.

The electric is a double stack of the small Lincoln 1100 series ovens with the 18" belts (Can handle around 50 pies/hour filling both stacks to capacity and sit on the floor like regular ovens). The gas ovens are double stacked Lincoln 1400 series ovens. They’re a wider belt of 32" with a 40" chamber and can handle just as much as Middleby Marshall 360-Q’s. Now the 1400’s… AWESOME ovens! Fantastic Bake! -J_r0kk
