Big Chill Cooking Ranges

Big Chill Cooking Ranges at Plesser's Appliances

Big Chill ranges, available at Plesser's Appliances, put vintage styling on a modern cooking platform. Founded in Boulder, Colorado in 2001 and known first for its retro refrigerators, Big Chill builds ranges in stainless steel and powder-coated metal across three collections — Retro, Classic, and Pro — in 27 standard colors and more than 200 custom ones.

Retro, Classic, and Pro Collections
Retro is the full midcentury treatment, with rounded forms, chrome trim, and period detailing. Classic is a cleaner vintage line that reads as timeless rather than themed. Pro carries a more restrained professional look while keeping the color program. All three share the same underlying cooking platform, so the collection choice is about how much period styling you want in the room.

Color as the Whole Point
This is the reason people specify Big Chill. Seven standard colors, six premium, and over 200 custom options, with metal trims including chrome, brushed brass, and copper, and knobs that can be custom ordered in your choice of color. No other range manufacturer offers this range of finish. If the kitchen is being designed around a color, the range can be the anchor rather than the compromise.

Gas and Induction Configurations
Gas ranges are offered in 30", 36", and 48" widths in natural gas or propane, with sealed burners and a convection oven. Induction is offered at 30" for anyone without gas service or who prefers a flat glass surface. Both carry the same styling and color program, so the fuel decision does not constrain the look.

Modern Cooking Underneath
Behind the period exterior are sealed burners for easier cleanup, automatic electronic ignition, a convection fan, full-extension oven racks, and an oven cavity large enough for a commercial-sized baking sheet. Counter-depth sizing keeps the range flush with cabinetry rather than projecting. Confirm burner and oven output figures against the current spec sheet for your width.

Lead Time and Installation Planning
Custom-color appliances are built to order, so lead time is a real planning factor — not something to discover after the cabinetry is done. Installation requires gas supply or appropriate electrical service, clearance to combustibles, and ventilation sized to output. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about collection, width, color and trim selection, current lead times, and hood pairing before the kitchen is finalized.
