I usually have a few sticks of incense and I'll light one and use that

My mother didn't use incense. What do you think she was, a hippie? A
hippie born in 1908 and it's then 1955!

She used matches for cigarettes too, until she stopped smoking about
1957.

to light the oven. You can get the stick down through the hole easier
