Maybe gas will burn without electricity--I don't know-- but oil won't.

Gas will burn, but most furnaces today have electronic ignition and
electronically operated gas valves. Of course even if you defeat all of
that, the limit switches won't be working.


How much power does the gas valve need? Perhaps something could be
arranged, like on a gas water heater?
