I have started a thread asking what is causing the explosions in my kitchen. > [@Tiny Explosions In My Kitchen- Not A Gas Leak- Need Answer Fast!](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tiny-explosions-in-my-kitchen-not-a-gas-leak-need-answer-fast/1012647): > > When we were moving boxes into this apartment, we smelled gas in the kitchen. I called the gas company. They sent out workers who confirmed it was a gas leak. They said it was an internal leak in the oven. They shut off the gas to the oven and said I needed a new one. Earlier today while I was working, I head a loud POP from the kitchen. I saw a bright flash out of the corner of my eye. At the first opportunity, I investigated. I didn’t smell gas. I wasn’t sure what had happened. I thought perh… Please spread the word. I would very much prefer to handle this myself. If I do call maintenance, I may have to wait quite a while. Based on past dealings, they are neither ethical or competent. Finally, they may see all the clutter and evict me. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/auld-lang-sighin-january-mini-rants/1012421)._
