I just don't turn the knob all the way to "light" when the power is out, but instead hold a match up as I turn it on and the gas starts coming out and it just lights by the match. My friend's has "light" at the start of the dial, but I think you could turn past it to just get the gas flowing without having to use the electric ignition.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564720462613298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-9405192568231395832010-03-16T20:56:47.218-06:002010-03-16T20:56:47.218-06:00I wish you could find a NEW gas stove that didn...I wish you could find a NEW gas stove that didn't have an electronic ignition. I've looked everywhere for one that you could use manually so it would work when the power was out.

Wow. Parable of the ten virgins comes to mind first and foremost.<br /><br />Great story. Do you mind if I share it in a talk at some point?<br /><br />I, too, have a gas stove and it's an older one with manual ignition so I can use the oven part as well when the power is out. In fact, I usually have the desire to bake then just because I can!<br /><br />Btw love the propane curling iron. That brings being prepared to a whole new level!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533553304097688521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-49399996105742826472010-03-15T15:53:38.877-06:002010-03-15T15:53:38.877-06:00Doesn't everyone have a propane curling iron? ...Doesn't everyone have a propane curling iron? I got one when I was a teenager to take to camp and just last summer it broke, so my mom gave me one of hers (she found a few for sale somewhere and picked them up). Seriously unnecessary piece of survival gear, but it made me feel like I looked better anyway :)<br /><br />And Sharla, there were lots of ponytails.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564720462613298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-3192427206921812722010-03-15T12:28:12.202-06:002010-03-15T12:28:12.202-06:00OMG, a propane curling iron?

I'm glad you still had gas because when the power goes out here we have no other choice but to break out with it all. At least you were prepared for the minor and major emrgencies.Leasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527345508772411407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-58623320406851838162010-03-15T12:20:20.666-06:002010-03-15T12:20:20.666-06:00Too funny.

I have long straight hair, so I can do anything with it :) The only reason I am not getting rid of my gas stove, is it still works when the power is out. <br />We had church with the power out a few years ago, they called around and told everyone to leave the kids home, we were having an emergency meeting instead of sacrament, because we had a major ice storm, and those of us able to make it to the meeting, turned out to get assignments on who to check up on and report back to the bishop. It was memorable. I am also VERY thankful for my wood stove insert. It does a great job of heating atleast half the house.TM Frugal Gourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118903273942942541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-90361065049871545722010-03-15T12:16:06.685-06:002010-03-15T12:16:06.685-06:00LOL, what a fun adventure!

I've never heard of a propane curling iron - wow! that is cool.<br /><br />I love that you were prepared with flashlights and blankets. You are such a great example. I hope others were watching and thinking about being more prepared.Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431585932397028005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-4076901931126560772010-03-15T10:31:11.223-06:002010-03-15T10:31:11.223-06:00Propane curling iron?
