I am a new do it yourself-er. I’ve watch your videos. I am going to be installing a 4 wire, 220 volt, breaker and outlet for a stove. The wire will be traveling less than 20 feet. What is your recommendation for the best wire to use?

    Most today installs will require a 50 amp wire. However, you may only need 40 amp. But I would go for the 50 amp.

    50 amp #6
    40 amp #8

    Here’s an Amazon link for the wire to give you an idea https://amzn.to/3kqmmZQ
