This is the kind of thing I would never have thought of by myself, and
why the list can prove so helpful. I haven't done much looking yet, but I
think all the gas stoves I've read about have electronic ignition, so no
jerky on the pilot. :-( Does an electronic ignition mean that the burners
won't light if the power is off? Could I use an old bunsen-burner lighter
(or a match)?
Yes, we've lost power a few times over the years, and we simply light the
burners with one of those battery-powered ignitors, much the same way we
light our camp stove.
It's the venting that worries me, as there's nothing of sort now. I
hadn't thought I'd be cutting holes in the house when I started thinking
about a new stove. The wall behind the stove isn't really exterior anymore,
as the garage is there. Can I vent into the garage?
I'd ask the advice of a contractor on that. I don't see any reason why not,
but there may be some problem with carbon fumes or something.
