Hi Hoosier, I am sorry about your gas, no help at all I know. Do you stil have the cooker working but just not the heat? My boiler pilot light wouldn't relight and it turned out to be the thermo coupler-aparently thats the bit that carries the electrical spark to ignite the flame? it was quite inexpensive to get fixed. I have no idea about these problems but if they have been off for a while could they just be blocked by a bit of dirt? I guess you need a handyman round but someone cheap. Things just have to get better for you soon. I feel so useless but I will keep you in my prayers. I hope Sunday brings you some answers.
