Lighting the oven in the TM

You are probably young, and agile, compared to me. ha.
It is hard enough to get that low on the floor, with arthritis, and then reach all the way to the back, while trying to turn knob to pilot position.
I can do it, just takes me longer.
And then trying to re- start it without burning yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For sure we need another longer lighter, and I will try other methods you say.
Thanks

Sorry I meant no disrespect Jane I do sometimes forget I am still younger to some I guess & in pretty good shape. I think your best bet would be install the grill igniter that has been discussed here in multiple post. This would take care of all your issues including your arthritis IMO. The longer lighter will still be an issue for bending over.

Good Luck & if I can be of any help just ask.

I did not think you were being disrespectful at all.
I am still young at heart and mind.
Still fairly young in my 50's, just have some arthritis. Have to keep moving and smiling. ha
Thanks for your advise.
I use this forum just because everyone is so helpful and nice.
Hoping that the Planner has gotten some response to the 2720 he is looking for.
Found your responses, humorous.
We talked about a TM for about a year, but when we got serious about it, we found a used one on craigslist in about 2 weeks.
But I advertised in Colorado Springs, and Denver, (as a person wanting one, and got 3 quick responses.)
