The only gas appliances that might still work are the water heater and the stove top and even the stove top is questionable if it has an electric ignitor.

If all I can use is the stove top then, as others have suggested, I will cook on the propane grill outside instead of heating up the house.

Then again, in the six years I have owned here I have had one power outage of more than a few minutes and even that lasted less than three hours.
