This is sort of an addendum to the "How was your day post". After extinguishing the fire and clearing the smoke, and typing that post, I went down to the first floor to grab my leathers and head to Reuben's. I walked into my kitchen and found a distinct....stink. Sort of a Oh...lets call it a gassy smell. This is the sort of smell you never really want to smell in your hour house, or anyone else's house for that matter. I checked the stove and found I had lit both pilots...so where? Then I remembered, the oven, Yes the oven has it's own pilot light.
On my old stove it was a simple matter of lifting the oven floor cover and lighting the "directly in front" pilot light. On the newer and improved models, you have to reach in the back of the oven, remove the wing nut, lift the panel from the rear, slide it up and back, then remove it from the oven. Next you have to remove the drip shield over the burner by taking off two more wing-nuts. lift that panel out of the way, then reach all the way into the back of the oven to light the "next to the back wall" oven pilot. Now all you need to do is put it all back together.
Ah progress.
You need to get an electronically igniting stove and oven. How old is the one you have now?
