The Empava 24-inch LPG wall oven is one of the few built-in options that runs on liquefied petroleum gas, offering convection cooking with gas-style heat in a 24-inch cabinet cutout for $800. With a 4.0-star rating across 20 reviews it has a meaningful feedback base, and the 3980-watt equivalent rating suggests strong heating output for a compact unit.
Homeowners with LP gas service, rural properties, cabins, or conversions without natural gas lines, who want a built-in wall oven with convection capability and do not want to run new electrical circuits.
Skip if
Anyone on natural gas or electric service, this unit is LP gas only and is not convertible for natural gas use. Also skip if you need more than 2.3 cu ft of cooking space.

Overview
LPG wall ovens are genuinely uncommon in the built-in market, making this Empava a practical option for a specific group of buyers. Properties served by propane tanks rather than utility gas lines can get a built-in oven with convection cooking without adding high-amperage electrical service. That combination of LP fuel and convection is the main reason to choose this oven over cheaper electric alternatives.
The 3980-watt spec is notably higher than comparable electric models in this size class, this number likely reflects the BTU-equivalent output, which translates to responsive temperature changes and quick preheat. The heating modes (conduction, convection, and radiant) give genuine cooking versatility. The 2.3 cu ft cavity keeps the footprint compact, fitting a 23.42-inch-wide cutout and weighing 80 pounds, manageable for a two-person installation.
At $800, this oven sits roughly $200 above comparable electric Empava models. That premium reflects both the LP gas engineering and the more limited production run. With 20 reviews at 4.0 stars, it has enough real-world feedback to indicate the product performs close to expectations for most buyers.
Pros
One of the few built-in convection wall ovens available in LP gas configuration
3980W output rating suggests strong preheat and temperature recovery
Three heating modes (conduction, convection, radiant) add cooking flexibility
20 reviews at 4.0 stars is a credible signal of buyer satisfaction
Standard 23.42-inch width fits 24-inch built-in cutouts
Cons
LP gas only, not compatible with natural gas without conversion
2.3 cu ft is a tight cavity for large roasts or multi-rack baking
At $800, it costs meaningfully more than comparable electric models in this size class

Performance notes
The LP gas fuel type combined with conduction, convection, and radiant heating modes provides the responsiveness of gas heat with the evenness benefit of a convection fan. The 3980W rating reflects heating output equivalent; gas ovens typically heat faster and recover temperature more quickly than electric at similar price points. Overall dimensions are 22.83 x 23.42 x 23.6 inches and the unit runs on 120V for ignition and controls, so a standard outlet is needed alongside the LP gas line.
What buyers say
Twenty reviews at 4.0 stars is the strongest feedback base among the compact Empava wall oven lineup. The rating suggests most buyers are satisfied with fit, finish, and basic cooking performance. A score of 4.0 with 20 responses typically reflects genuine satisfaction tempered by a handful of installation or minor quality concerns, which is normal for specialty appliances in this category.
The listing specifies LP gas (liquefied petroleum gas) as the fuel type. Conversion to natural gas typically requires different orifices and pressure settings. Do not attempt conversion without confirming with Empava that a conversion kit is available and approved for this model.
Does this oven need electricity as well as LP gas?
Yes. The oven operates on 120 volts for ignition and electronic controls, even though the primary fuel is LP gas. You will need both a standard 120V outlet and a propane gas supply line at the installation location.
Is 2.3 cu ft enough interior space?
For a single family cooking everyday meals, a roasting pan, a 9x13 baking dish, or a standard loaf pan, 2.3 cu ft is workable. If you regularly cook large cuts of meat, multiple dishes at once, or wide baking sheets, you may find the space limiting compared to the 5 cu ft cavities found in 30-inch electric alternatives.
