Did you leave the pilot light in the oven on? If it goes out it will still be releasing propane.
No, it won't. That is the purpose of the thermocouple. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple shuts off the propane supply to it. That is why you have to press and hold the knob in when lighting the pilot light. It overrides the thermocouple and allows propane to flow to the pilot light while the thermocouple heats up enough to keep the pilot light valve open and the propane flowing.
