Burning is a chemical reacyion, an oxidation.
The burning of methane gas in a cooker is a chemical change. In this reaction, methane reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat energy. This results in a new substance being formed with different chemical properties than the original methane gas.
Natural gas or electric=stoves Propane or charcoal=BBQ.
propane Yes, to propane if the gas cooker is fueld from bottled gas, but if it uses natural gas then Natural gas is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane but including significant quantities of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane. I believe it also has a smelly agent added so that one can smell a gas leak.
BP has said that they are burning 30 million cubic feet of natural gas a day.

lighting it on fire
Yes
Burning natural gas contributes least to global warming compared to coal and oil. Natural gas produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, per unit of energy generated.
By burning natural gas in a combustion engine, you get mechanical energy.
Natural gas is considered the cleanest burning petroleum product. When it is burned, it produces lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants compared to other petroleum products like diesel or gasoline.
