It's not like that. No big giant POOF. Quite undramatic. It
was very handy during the blackout, at least we could make coffee,
or heat big pots of water to heat the kitchen. The big problem
was finding those lighters. Luckily we got through with what we
had and with nice wood matches I got at a Yankee Candle store that
was open.
When I was a kid, you had to light the oven with a match. For whatever
reason, I did that by myself one day and didn't open the door so there
was a gas buildup. This is why I know what singed hair smells like and
why I never tried to light an oven like that ever again.
