I wish! The entire range is what we needed, had to be propane compatible, it was around 1k, at home depot. I genuinely try to avoid IoT bull shit.
Almost all ranges are propane compatible but will require the effort of installing the (included) propane conversion kit. The exception is Frigidaire, where the kit has to be purchased separately.
FYI, most of Whirlpool's range lineup (including Amana, Maytag and the non-"Pro" KitchenAid models), all of Frigidaire's range lineup, most of GE's base line range lineup (not Profile or Café) do not have Wi-Fi capability. It's mostly Samsung and LG pathologically putting connectivity into everything they make.
What features did you need that you couldn't avoid connectivity? I just queried my own product database and came up with 202 models that are LP compatible without purchase of a kit and do not have Wi-Fi capability. 261 if you're willing to countenance Frigidaire. And even among most of those that do have connectivity (KitchenAid's "Pro" models being an irritating exception) you don't need to connect to Wi-Fi or use the app for any functionality of the appliance; it's just an extra.
I'm happy you were able to find all those example. I couldn't. It's too late in any case.
