But there is no question that Rav Moshe’s ZT”L’s shita was that it was permissible on Yom Tov to lower and indeed shut the flame completely on gas ranges (no wick), even with no food, and indeed this is what Rav Moshe’s ZT”L and his family did.
The Rav also said that many gas ranges today have an electronic ignition at the start of the knob so you have turn the knob off quickly in order to bypass the “click click” of the electronic ignition. I tried to do that and it works.
Regardless, I was very impressed with PM’s b’kias in learning as well as ROB’s (is this m’shane shem?) and the back and forth banter of PM and ROB.
Can’t wait or the next post.
