I'm installing a new oven that requires 240v 30A. The problem is how best to get the electrical cable from it to the panel.
The panel is in the garage, and the oven is on a wall that is shared by the garage (i.e., I could punch a hole thru the wall from the oven into the garage). (Going up into the attic is not an option since the attic has 2' of blown in insulation, and, while it is possible, I refuse to go that route.) So, I plan to punch that hole in the wall, string the cable up to the garage ceiling, over to the wall the panel is on, down and into the panel.
My question is what is the best conduit to use to a) be easiest for me (NOT an electrician!), and b) meets code. I initially thought MC cable would be easiest, but thought I'd ask.
