Natural gas?

Left the house this morning at 0800 to go to Asheville, got back around 3:30 after a longer lunch than I expected.

Are you off 40 or 421? (I go travel to Boone as well, but that's only a 90 minute drive LOL).

IE.
Pilot flame type and when heating they were blasting very hot air into the living space, which is not ideal in my opinion.

I know we all have opinions and that's mine!

We had a lousy furnace like that back in Montana, super annoying! It would blast 900 degree air for 5 minutes and then shut off. Constantly adjusting the TV volume while you were trying to relax with Mama on a cold night. I installed a Rinnai (modern by back then 2003 standards) gas heater before the second winter in the living room. We kept the house much warmer, totally silent, and paid for itself in one winter's gas bill.

I had a pilot flame kitchen stove in Kansas (rental). No central air, just a swamp cooler. I couldn't figure out why the kitchen was always so dang hot. I had never seen an always burning pilot light at that point in my life.

Options are there for a reason. There is no one size fits all solution for anything.

There are no gas stoves sold with a pilot light nowadays. They are all electric spark.

Interesting. They don’t carry those in appliance stores; all electric igniters. Must be special order.

Some electric ignition gas ranges will not match light. If they will, a sparker will let you use the burners but not the oven.
