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.
When the igniter is not working on a gas stove due to a power outage, use one of these to light your gas stove (link below). Turn on the gas stove knob and place the flame from the Bic where it will catch. Wha La....flame to cook on your gas stove with a power outage. Turn off the gas stove know like normal when finished cooking.
