No. The oven dial is actually a thermostat. When the oven temperature reaches the selected setting temperature, the thermostat senses the temperature of the oven and turns the gas off. After the gas is off, the oven will slowly start to drop in temperature. The thermostat will sense the drop in temperature and turn the gas back on again until the set temperature is again reached. By increasing or decreasing the size of the flame on the oven burner, it will take more or less time respectively to reach the set temperature. It won't change the calibration of the thermostat.

Another words, if you want to set your oven temperature at 350 degrees, and by turning up or down the regulator, wouldn't that either lower or higher the heat giving you a false reading for the 350 degrees setting? ----- Original Message ----- From: "NLG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 6:12 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Question About My Gas Stove > Hi :) > > If you have one burner running, and turn on a SECOND burner, does the > flame on the FIRST burner drop?
