Our oven uses an electronic starter, as do most/all these days it seems
like. A match will not start it -- it relies on (I think) measuring the
current flow in the hot wire ignitor, and will not open the gas valve
until it reaches proper temperature. Maybe a torch to the ignitor would
get the resistance down ... but you still have to open the
electrically-operated valve. So no, the oven will likely *not* work
without electricity.

Interesting what you said about gas ranges. Don't think the oven will
work in my new one without electric. Need to try it. Never thought of
that.

You'll need a match.
