Does the gas oven have a pilot light or is it too modern and uses a
spark igniter?
If the oven has a pilot light it is perfect for dehydrating herbs and
chilies. Really. I used to use that setup at Planet Zarkon whilst I
was resident there.
Now days I have a cabinet above my refrigerator which I use (among
other things) to rise bread, dry herbs/chilies, and keep my crackers
and potato chips nice and crispy after I have opened the container.
Works well, it does.
Just a couple thoughts.
