and my stove doesn't have pilot lights, just a non operating electric ignition, so I use a spark lighter. I used those back in Boston when I had stoves old enough to have pilot lights, which I turned off to save on the gas bill.

I never replaced the stove, an ancient Monkey Ward, because it's got the only oven I ever had that was properly calibrated.

But yes, it's a miserable job to clean and it has to be done from time to time or it starts to smell.
