What are you cooking for the "big storm"?

The CWG gurus are predicting scattered, not widespread power outages. I hope there are none at all.

If you have a gas stove, you can still cook when you lose power.

NP We have a gas stove. If power goes out, can I light the burner with a regular lighter or match, or do I need one of those long camping lighters (which I don't have)? Dumb question, but I never had to do that before and I don't feel like burning myself or blowing up the house.

A regular match might be too close for comfort, but perhaps if you hold it with tweezers or something. I use something like this - easily available at most drug stores, grocery stores, target, hardware stores, etc for like $3. Available everywhere and worth having in the house.

The grill!! GENIUS!

The downside, of course, is that you'd have to be going in and out, so letting precious heat from your house out with no working furnace. Hmmm. . . . food or heat? Tough call.

Your stove lights from a pilot light not electric ignition, so you shouldn't need a match.

I have a gas stove. In a power outage, the burners do not ignite.
