McCombs Supply's Thanksgiving Appetizers 

After you finish watching the  Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the National Dog Show presented by Purina (featuring the great voice of John O'Hurley) and begin watching the first football game of the day (Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions), it is time to start eating. 

Before the main course of turkey and stuffing comes out, how about some Thanksgiving appetizers. 

At McCombs Supply, we are more than just an appliance parts store. We also like to eat and enjoy need food ideas. We have several makes and models of elements in stock. 

McCombs sells replacement parts from manufacturers and brands like White Rogers, GE, Whirlpool, Backer-Chromolox, Broan-Nutone, Exact Replacement Parts (ERP), EZ Flo, Fasco and more.  

This time of year bake elements are one of the more popular items we sell, including part No. 308180 (SKU CH4836). 

 We have several makes and models of elements in stock. 

Surface burners like the MP15YA and safety valves are also easy repairs. 

If your range is not working, we have the parts (see related story) to fix your oven.

And when your stove is working well again, here are two Thanksgiving appetizers we hope (Ok, hinting) we'd like to see on Thanksgiving menu.  

Both recipes are from Bettycrocker.com
