If you can't get the igniter button to work before your trip: It is possible to light the pilot light with a match. I have done it on occasion when I could not get the igniter to light it. As I recall, there is a small metal box around the gas burner at lower right (back). I think it comes off with one screw. I would set the temperature dial to 1, ask my wife hold down the other red button inside, and light the pilot with a match. After making sure that the pilot stays lit, reinstall the box and set the temperature dial. (If someone questions the safety of this, PLEASE chime in.)
