Would Home Depot or Lowes have such wire? If not, where might I find it?
Thanks again.

Regular wire will melt or burn. Ranges used to use asbestos coated
wire. I imagine they found a replacement for the asbestos these days.
it MUST be a hi-temp wire.

right? The wire says on it: (Essex 10 AWG Type THHN or THWN or MTW E53446*
(UL) Gasoline and Oil resistant II 600 Volt VW-1.). What is the
temperature
limit on wire like this and would it be safe to use? Thanks in advance.


I got some of that wire at the local hardware store from their wire rack.
Usually the hardware personnel will know what you need for this.
