Can the burners be lit with a match when electric power is out?

You can light them with a match providing the gas/control lockout feature was not on when you lost power.

You do need a match or candle/barbecue lighter. It does not have a friction light like some of the larger units.

Yes, you must use the striker strip to light these matches. I've found that they won't light if there is water on the striker but all it takes is a quick wipe to dry it off enough.

You could. But you would have to stay away from the burners and any surface that is exposed to excessive heat.

I ordered mine with the side burner where I can cook when the electricity goes off.

I bought it for that purpose -- to use on a butane camp stove when our electricity goes out. So yes, you can.

You can slide them in. It is not necessary to remove (un-plug) the burners.

Haven't tried it, but I'm sure that if you were to use a bbq type igniter it should be easy. I would put the flame of the igniter down by where the units igniter would spark, then turn on the gas (middle burner). Should light right up.

Yes, you just have to use a match or a lighter. However I would not purchase this range, our oven will not hold a consistent temperature, some days it is right on, the next day it is 50 degrees off. We have had repair folks out three times and they say nothing is wrong. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Yes. Also, the pilot light can easily be extinguished if it is windy outside, causing the heater to turn off.

I believe you can use electricity. I use mine on a small gas burner on my island for a hot pot. I absolutely love it!

To use the rotisserie you will need electricity. The ignition system to light the burners is battery operated.

No. But you'd have to wire the power to a live source when ignition is off.

Yes definitely. However I did find that if I had both burners on high there was a marked heat difference between the two burners.

No a match or lighter will light them easily and no flare up so they are safe. I used them the other day to burn a pile of brush. I used one on each side and it burned beautifully. Great product. I was using a chimney to light lump charcoal for my Kamado grill but the fire starter works great.

Yes, but without the fan which goes off with the flame effect the unit will overheat. The flame is intended to be on whenever the unit is on.

Sure. I have a great friend who owns a restaurant and he uses these for cooking sauces all the time. Obviously you have to be careful with any fire inside and I wouldn't use it for space heating, but cooking during a power outage, perfect.
