Using gas to cook with candles burning in the same room safe?

I assume if it wasn't that people would know about it so it's probably a stupid question but I need to be sure as I do t know and overly cautious
When you cook with a gas burner the gas is being burned as it's released. You are completely safe as long as the burner is lit.
@Qwerty14 Oh okay, I think all that lighting jaz is internal, I just turn dials
@MushroomFaerie Ah gas oven? Same idea. Turn the dial till you hear a click. That is the lighter causing a spark to ignite the gas. You'll see the flames. Also heat will be produced fairly quickly. If you can't feel the heat and can still smell the gas then the gas didn't ignite. If you feel no heat or smell gas then your gas isn't on.

Leaving unignited gas running can cause the room to fill with gas. Be very careful not to do this as the gas will make you sleepy and can cause explosions if enough fills the room and a spark is caused. If you do fill a room with gas accidentally you should turn it off and open the windows immediately.

Hope this helps
@Qwerty14 Thanks😊

Just don't forget to put your candle out when you're done.

@MushroomFaerie in the UK you can arrange a free home fire safety visit from the fire brigade. A lot of the UK women think they're great.
@Ironicman true, might need to find the equivalent

It will be fine as long as the burner is lit

@LvChris So when the flame is lit, it's not giving off gas and when it's on and not lit, it is giving off gas and if you were to leave it on for awhile unlit you could potentially be in danger if you were to light something? It took me a few days to even figure out which way the switch went to turn the gas off on the oven so I could have been giving off gas in the house in that time?
