We have an older Sears natural gas stove/oven. In the past few months,
when you light the oven, by turning the gas on (it has a pilot light),
it doesn't light right away. It might take up to 30 seconds and then it
comes on with a BOOM!! Sometimes it causes the door to fly open a
couple of inches.
What could be causing this??


I agree with John, clean the burner especially near where the pilot
light is. If you can take it out to clean it that would be better.
