Hi, check the vent outlet at the back of the oven, could be blocked.(you did remove the cover i assume.)

Oh dear, that would explain why we could not get our oven working properly recently.  We thought it was the wind outside blowing out the flame but I don't think we took any cover off before using!!!  I had not realised there was a cover for the oven gas though have seen the water heater and fridge ones!

oh good, not doing something wrong then but will try keeping the bottom cupboard open to see if that makes a difference.  It was quite windy outside so we had blamed that. 

 We did do something stupid that trip, lighting the water heater on gas by accident!  the cover was still on and basically there was a loud bang and the cover blew off!!  We were scared to look what had happened (as we did not know we had put gas water heater on) and Oh thought that the dog had chewed through the ehu and blown himself up!!!!   Nothing quite so dramtic much to our relief and no damage done as far as we could see but was starting to worry again after reading the above on oven covers!
