5-10 minutes and sometimes there is a gas smell. But if it isn't heating up maybe the pilot light was out. -- nm - the liioulu with less Jun 29, 15:45
sometimes you can smell gas at the beginning, and you should be able to feet heat right away. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 15:44 1
- ~feel, feel, feel feel... feel my heat~ (Ow!) -- nm - Mop's oven Jun 29, 15:45
are you unable to see if the pilot/burner is lit? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 15:42 11
- Nah, it works. It's just really slow. 20 minutes before it even bumps up to 110-115. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 15:44 10
  - uh, propane tank based, or a natural gas line from the gas co? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 15:45 6
    - Natural gas. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 15:47 5
      - Hmm. Are you sure it's not hot? You gave a somewhat precise measurement, if there's a thermometer, maybe it's busted? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 15:47 4
        
        Definitely certain. Even when it hits 350, it doesn't cook properly. Food is only warm. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 15:59 3
        
        eww. get that fixed ASAP. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:07 2

        There certainly sounds like there might be an explosion of one kind or another. (Gas or Gastric ... your call.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 16:09
  - something is wrong then. i don't think it's burning effeciently. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 15:45 2
    - yeah, that's a problem. if there's an always lit pilot light it should be above that before you turn it on. -- nm - the liioulu with less Jun 29, 15:46 1
      - OK. We've phoned the agency. We've asked them to have a look. -- nm - Mop Jun 29, 15:47
it takes about 5 minutes for mine. sometimes i smell gas. -- nm - kare Jun 29, 15:41
