Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for September 05, 2015

Maybe Frank Nelson will be a sarcastic pizza delivery guy!

Maybe you best call 911.

“Get my tool box” not going to be a good ending………..

Why not just trade it in for an electric stove?

Amerigas let them run out of propane.

They have cell phones but they don’t have matches. Interesting.

Order pizza, AND call a repairman, you WILL need him.

YEAH!

If he keeps clicking the igniter, it doesn’t have a pilot light. And as for the suggestion that they buy an electric stove; if they are serious cooks, they will stick to the gas stove.

Hey, this is GASoline Alley.

Order a pizza, and keep a finger on 911.

As I understand gas stoves, if the pilot light or the igniter doesn’t start the burners, then a match or “those flame throwers you see at the checkouts in places like WalMart and Target” isn’t going to help because the gas isn’t reaching the place where it is ignited. In other words there’s some sort of blockage. What Skeezix needs to do before tackling the burner assembly is to make sure that the gas supply to the stove hasn’t been turned off, either at the meter or at the stove, and if it hasn’t been turned off, to turn it off before working on the burner assembly.

Putting your head in the oven and striking a match is a good place to start.
