Stove is in place

My nephew helped Martin move our antique gas range to Cornish. I am very thankful for that since it is very heavy and I am not up to the task of lifting my half of it.
Here it is in place and ready to go. The gas is hooked up. We lit the pilot light and the oven to make sure everything was working.
The pilot light was too high (that's why the cooktop lid is propped open). We have decided to cap the pilot light and just light burners as we need them.
We also filled the house with smoke while the beeswax mineral oil coating that we put in the oven burned off. We expected some smoke, but this beat our expectations! It took nearly an hour to stop smoking.
