Anyone leave while their oven is on?

Do y’all leave ceiling fans on while gone?

[Redfeathers]

Most of the time no! I have but always wish I hadn't. That freaks me out too!

Or the fridge? Outside freezer??? LOL

Our house burnt down when I was in the 3rd grade & still have sights / smells stamped into my noggin...I still cringe even when the unloaded groceries are left on the stove top waiting to be put up.

Any & everything fire hazard freaks me out...ya don't know unless ya know.

Same here. With few exceptions (hot water heater), I leave nothing on that generates significant heat when I leave my bourse, this includes a crockpot. I not only turn off but unplug all small electrics when not in use (curling irons, coffee makers, irons).

I also never leave the house with appliances running that use water, such as the dishwasher and washing machine.

Ever.

Yup, been to fridge and freezer fires
Can't unplug them, but you can keep the immediate space behind them free from storage and keep the lint/dust removed from cover/fan. Either way, it sucks for everyone. Many on here with a lot more experience than me. Stay safe!!

Ours is WiFi, so yes

We start it while we are out hunting

I’m assuming it will call the fire department if the temp goes way up in a hurry

[PondPopper]

Yep. Done it for years. Gas too just like my furnace. Furnace stays on in the winter too. So does my hot water heater. Gas too..

What's the point in paying for home insurance if you ain't going to try to use it?

I guess you don’t have anything that money can’t replace. Had a house fire my senior year of high school there are lots of things money can’t replace.

How many of you who own a pellet smoker leave it going while you are away?most of the ones I've seen are sitting on the back patio next to the house.

I'm one of the weirdos that leave a crock pot, oven, wash machine, dishwasher, fans, you name it running while I am gone. I support the local fire department. If I don't proactively attempt fire Hazzards. Those fine folks might be out of a job!

In all seriousness. I do not see the difference in a Water Heater being left on or an oven.

No. Fans don’t cool rooms.

I’ve left the stove on for four or five hours after I took the food out. And I was there! So no, I never leave the house with anything cooking or the dryer running. If we’re gonna be gone several days I turn the water off as well.

[Rigging Cooks]

I have left a burner on low before after cooking something....several times, my old lady tears my arse up about it when I do. I hate it when that happens but I deserve it.

When I was a kid my mom would put a roast in the oven before church with a loaf of bread dough on top to proof. When we’d get home from church the roast was ready and the bread went in the oven.

Google will tell you you’re and idiot if you leave your oven on. Thoughts?

This is the biggest problem. Who cares what Google says.

Y’all all turn your AC off when you leave the house too?
