You can use your oven to keep sourdough starter warm or even to let bread 
rise by turning on the oven light, placing the bowl in the oven and closing 
the door.  This will work as well or better than a gas pilot light (with 
electric ignition these days very few of us still have a constant pilot 
anyway).  I have an oven thermometer setting on an oven rack and the temp 
hovers around 85F. with this method in my oven.
