greg, sounds like your needle valve is not seated. Remove the bottom drawer. Look back to the base of the burner where the shutter air adjustment is. Right under there is the valve which should have a 1/2 inch or 7/16 nut. (I Forgot what size). Turn this nut clockwise until the flame is adjusted to the correct size, should be a nice blue flame. The nut maybe hard to turn because you are seating the needle. Catriver..post back

The igniter will glow red even when it does not get hot enough to open the gas valve. Replacing the igniter should take care of the problem.

When the ignitor glows brightly and the oven doesn't light it is
usually a defective ignitor. The way to know if the ignitor is good or
bad is to read the amp draw of the ignitor with an amp or watt meter.
The gas valve and the ignitor are wired in series and for the gas valve
to draw the current the ignitor has to draw 3.5-3.8 amps.If the ignitor is drawing 3.5-3.8 amps the new gas valve is defective. If it is drawing less amps the ignitor is defective.
