Suffering from zero weather conditions, lack of activity, and boredom, I decided to use the self cleaning feature on my gas range.
Now, my mother wasted a lot of money educating me in various fields that involved burning things, and people actually paid me a lot of money to help them do it correctly.
So I removed the internals of my oven and pushed the button marked CLEAN.
So I sat back and grabbed a brew to help me get through the cleaning time.
After the stove warmed up the smoke came billowing out, lots of smoke. So I opened all the windows and most of the doors, even broke out a couple of fans, to get rid of the acrid smoke.
The temperature of the house went down to meet the 10 degrees out side when the smoke finally went away.
I learned a lesson from this experiment, never hit the clean button buy a new stove.
Oh, so that’s what that setting is for! When I bought a turkey from the store it said “clean turkey first” and so when I put it into the oven and hit the Clean button I figured everything would be OK. Nobody from the Fire Department could figure out why it didn’t work either.
A sixer as opposed to a 12 pack.
LOL
Bourbon and seven, actually. I can pick those up and put them down better than I can with beer any more.
Isn’t that covered in the book, ‘Marriage For Dummies’?
They ALWAYS do that if you have much buildup at all.
The lesson is the same as when you do interior painting...
wait until you can open the windows.
I’ve used the “Self-Clean” feature a few times on my propane over. Every time, without fail, one of the ceramic ignition coils burns out, and I have to spend the $100 to get a new one.
I finally bought one from a parts store that offers a “lifetime warranty” - so, next time, I just have to spend 10% (about 9 bucks) to renew the warranty.
20 years ago my never married sister in law told me she would marry the first man who knew what the back of a toilet looked like. I reminded her I had already claimed her brother, and besides that would be illegal anyway. She has still remains single.
Do you ever put anything you toss in the oven in a pan or bowl? lol ;-)
If the exhaust fan is clean and functioning properly, it should carry that smoke out regardless of how thick it is via the little duct/chimney venting the oven interior to around the stovetop...
you...might be a redneck... ARF!
Guilty as charged, and it's working well so far.
did you really mean this for me or the original poster??
because yes I use cooking equipment
“You are NOT hangin’ another deer in this house!”
If you cleaned it as often as recommended, there would have been little smoke.

Its under the flower pot where he put it to sop up the water...
At 25 below,that is what the brandy is for.

A friend from work was cleaning two deer in his garage. It was a bloody affair, as one would imagine. Then a Girlscout walked up to sell cookies. The Girlscout was cool, and my friend directed her to the front door where his wife bought cookies. It was a good day!
