the gas company came out and they guy had his detector or whateverHe said that it might be carbon monoxide and it might be incomplete combustion from one of the pilot lights and that they may need adjustment and that it wasn't a natural gas leak I only smell it when I stand in front of the gas stoveHe also recommended I open a door or window when I have the stove or oven onHe also pointed out the debris flakes under the stove cover as fuel debris or whateverI put a carbon monoxide detector in the kitchen for about an hour and it didn't go off What should I do? Call an appliance repair company? will it be expensive? Thanks!
Remove the tank, gas burners, pipe and control knobsUse an old cookie sheat to catch the ashes beneath the grills that hold the lava rockIn place of the lava rock place your charcoal and light it.
You can do that if you can pull the gas burner out and there's a steel grille you can put charcoal briquettes onThere's usually a grille like that to put lava rocks on; that'll do.
I doubt that it would take a repair person very long, a service call, probably in the $45-$75 area depending on your location, plus time and materials, say another 1/2 hourI'm guessing $100 totalYou might well try this yourselfGo to a store that sells welders and welding supplies and ask for a welding tip cleanerIt will be in the $5-7 range and is a small aluminum case with a series of round wires in various diameters, which are actually filesThey are used to clean gas welding tips which have various sizes of orificesShut off the gas valve behind the stove, and use the tip cleaner to clean the pilot light orificesThe small files are flexible and will bend and you can increase to larger sizes until you feel metal to metal contactThen, turn the gas back on and relight your pilotsIf there is no improvement, you aren't out much, and the tip cleaner can come in handyThey are great for cleaning the windshield washer nozzles on your carGood luck.
