Natural gas, that is. It's going to my hot water heater and furnace, but I want to bring it to the stove. That means putting a gas jet nearby. How hard is it for a totally blind person to do without sighted assistance and what's the best way to do this? This includes checking for gas leaks. The stove is on an interior wall. On the other side of that wall is the garage. If you are facing the front of the stove, the hot water heater is located about 2 feet away, to the right, in the garage. The gas line for it comes down the exterior wall, which would lead me to believe there is a gas line close by. I know I will need some piping (including elbows, a t, and a gas valve or 2), some pipe cutters, and perhaps some tephlon tape or pipe dope. I've also heard if you use compression fittings, you don't need the tape or dope. If I'm not mistaken, all can be bought at Lowes or Home Depot. Oh yes, safety first, turn off the gas before proceeding. Anything else I'm missing? F-y-i, the reason I want gas at the stove (which is currently electric) is because I've developed a serious dislike of the smooth top. In particular, it overheats when using just about any pot I have. This includes a couple new circulons, which are supposed to work well on smooth tops (including induction which I don't have) and gas. I'm getting a little tired of it and want something where it *doesn't matter* what type of pot I use, it will work without problems.
