The thermostat or something went out, right after Christmas. It would heat slowly, and wouldn't hold the heat. Since it was a cheapy anyway, we debated fixing it or not. Also throw in the fact that it is natural gas, and where we will be moving is all electric(at the moment) and I just couldn't see the wisdom of buying a brand new stove.

DH happened upon a storage unit yard sale yesterday. They had an older model Hot Point gas stove for 75 dollars. So old it doesn't have an electrical cord attached! It has pilot lights. Yeah! It works beautifully, I baked a cake last night to see. So we now have an oven back. I think when we move I will take it with us, and store it if nothing else.
