Hey, all. I'm trying to make a single burner on an old gas stove work for a current show. So far I hid a single burner camp stove inside the range top, and I've gotten it connected to a propane tank hidden in the oven (the stove is on the SL side of a 3/4 thrust so there's no wall to hide the back). The part I can't crack is how to make it able to be controlled from the actual stove knobs.
Simply turning the propane on means reaching into the oven and then propane is just leaking. Using the actual regulator on the camp burner doesn't work (as-is) because it is in accessible when the lid goes back on. I have touched every gd adapter in the Home Depot and been poring over threads on how other people did it for weeks and I am no closer to a solution. Apparently it was done once before at my theater well before my time, but of course no one remembers how they did it.
It can't be a hotplate, it's supposed to be the late 50s so they want the experience of lighting the stove with a match (Could this be wildly unsafe? Yes! Has anyone listened to me? No!). My producer is losing it about wanting this effect so we can get the smell of what she's cooking, but I swear I've spent more time inside this stove than I've spent cooking in my life and I'm at my wits end. Any help is appreciated!
