For first time use of a gas stove I recommend having the gas company
come out and shut off the pilot light. This is a safety measure which
enables you to control when the flame and gas connect. Next buy a box
of kitchen matches and get yourself a rock about a pound in weight with
some rough surface.
Put your pot or pan on the stove with the stove off.
Get a kitchen match and strike it on the rock.
Hold the match under the pot or pan on the burner, then turn the knob to
start the gas. You'll hear a small whoosh as the flame and gas connect.
Very important, blow out the match before your fingers get burnt as
soon as the gas has turned into a flame. I used this system in Arizona
for several years successfully.

Another thing about gas heat -- it's a moist heat, because it's burning
fluid, while electric stoves are a dry heat. The moister heat of gas

to linger a bit more, so turn things down slightly earlier than you might
with an electric burner.
