Dan,
I am with you on that one....standby power consumption makes me think
of battery sulphation. The 30 watts Ray mentioned for the Rennai would be a
deal breaker for me.
Hopefully I'll hear from a few others regarding standby
losses...doesn't seem very important what consumption may be during firing as
it doesn't really represent very much actual time.
Thanks,
Bill

You'll have to shop around; there are still some that use no power. As a
hard-core off-gridder, I hate seeing standby power use, and even worse a freeze
prevention heating element. A good old pilot light keeps them from freezing
too! Geez.
