Reply To: Zomet Chagaz in America for YT Stove Safety?

Actually there seem to be at least two other mechanical gas timers that are functionally (and presumably halahicaly) equivalent to the Zomet Chagaz – but with standard USA Pipe Fittings (though both seem to focusing on the Gas BBQ / Fireplace safety/savings markets as @ChicagoBubby alludes to). Gasav-R and Fire-Magic.

I actually have been using the Gasav-R for the last few years for Yom Tov Propane BBQ (i.e. much more convenient to use this timer with a standard 20# propane tank – instead of having to resort to 1# coleman “camping” propane tanks [with adapter hose] which last a couple of hours). I bought it from the importer Waldale who apparently has it manufactured in Taiwan (seems to also be available on Amazon and a few BBQ accessory stores).

I’m considering installing it for our gas stove as well (seems to be a win-win-win on Halacha-Safety-Savings) before Shavuos – though for sure interested in any advice / insight from anyone (e.g. friend-of-@ChicagoBubby or anyone else) who has done this already.
