Call your natural gas provider and have them come out and do it for you.

- -Save yourself a 'callout fee'. - I have to do this often in houses I am working on. The incoming gas goes through a valve on your property near the meter. It has a flat 'l' shaped handle on it. When the handle is in line with the pipe it's 'on', and when turned crosswise to the pipe it's off. - - (This is NOT rocket science or anything to scare the average human who can perform simple mechanical tasks !. )

There should be a knob behind the stove on the gas line to shut it off... If you can, pull out the stove and tighten the knob until snug (don't overtighten). Once this is done, you can then disconnect the gas line or whatever else you need to do.

On some older stoves, there will be no gas shut-off valve at all. If this is the case, you will have to shut it off at the meter itself. (You will probably need a large crescent wrench to do this.) However, some meters have a lock-out system, so in some cases you will have to call the gas company to come turn it back on. Make sure you have enough time to do so before shutting it off in the first place.

Whatever the case, don't do anything until the gas IS shut off. This could obviously lead to some problems.

If city gas, there will be a valve on the meter. Turn it so the lock holes match.

If propane, there is a valve at the tank.
