Do you ever leave the house with the oven/stovetop flame on very low, if no one is home?

Never. My oven is old and unpredictable.

Oven yes on a timer. Stove no. Thats why there are crockpots.

I make delicious chicken soup in my crockpot. Cooks for 8-10 hours on low. Its really good. Many weeks I do it while we sleep.

The only thing I would ever leave on is chicken soup. Not for too long a period of time, but it's on very low and nothing changes much in the hour or so that it's left.

I leave my stove only on low flame if im cooking a soup or something like that which I know wont burn out. Oven I'm more wary since mine is a bit unpredictable.

I make my chicken soup in a crocpot. On long Fridays I put up early in the morning and let it cook till the zman, then I put it on warm. It comes out heaven!

No! Never! I've had scary experiences when food on stove boiled over even on low flame, and flame went out and I came home to a strong smell of gas.
same with a wind or whatever extinguished flame and thus dangerous smell of gas.
or flame caught on piece of whatever lying on stovetop, it fanned the flames higher and they reached the kitchen cabinets....
Or, plain, food got burnt.
Re oven, I also don't - I don't in general like to leave something cooking or baking, unsupervised.
I don't even leave my washing machine working if I'm not at home, b/c twice it happened that I came home to machine not working, burning smell of rubber....
and the same for dryer - fused the electric in whole apt.
I find these electrical appliances to be unpredictable.

Never. It seems like a really bad idea.

Absolutely not.
A firefighter I know went out on a call and forgot to turn off her oven first. She came back to a pile of smoking rubble that was all that was left of her house. Ironic, that.

Low flame under metal sheet is our blech on Shabbos. It makes me so uncomfortable to leave it that I basically dont go to shul on Shabbos. But we still will go out for meals and stuff, especially since there wont be food heating.

PSA: After the tragic fire in Brooklyn two years ago I had a fire chief come to my house to tell me how I could make it fire safe (as much as possible). He said never ever do this. He's seen too many tragedies. He recommended against a blech, which I do have to say, I do use four times a year, on each Yom Tov. But I generally don't go to shul.

No, unless it's on an electric oven or burner on a timer.

One mikvah night (still newlywed) I came back and put frozen soup on the fire on very low.. We went to bed "just for a min" while waiting for it and woke up hours later by the fire alarm and a completely charred pot.

Have a heart -- this is ironic, yes, but I think the point is that it's tragic. Someone goes out to potentially save the lives of others and gets her entire house burned down in the process? This is one of the most depressing things I've read in a long time.
