You should have hit SEND right after your first sentence ;-)


If there is space to put one, it may actually work. Gas ranges don't
take much power. We get an occasional 5 second blip and the clock has
to be reset. If the oven was out of use for four hours and you have a
half baked cake, it would be a loss

don't be so sure about the "don't take much power" (lectricity).

It's pretty common for the gas range tops to use
a spark ignior that shuts off once you've started
and then adjusted the flame, but...

... but, many gas stoves use an electric glow/heat plate
which is on _the entire time_ the oven gas is cycled
on [a]. And these can pull hundreds of watts. Steadily.


Just checked the nameplate on my range. 5 amps.

As for placement, my last stove had space in the back if you had it on
the floor. You could put it in the cabinet next to the stove too.
Ideal would be to find the reason it takes four hours, of course, but a
$40 UPS is cheaper than a $400 circuit board.
