There’s no single inventor in the modern sense, but the gas cookstove/oven’s commercial development is usually credited to James Sharp (sometimes spelled Sharpe) of Bury, Lancashire. He patented a gas stove in 1826 and began manufacturing them commercially in the 1830s. Earlier work on coal gas for lighting and heating by people such as Frederick Albert Winsor (early 1800s) helped make gas appliances practical.

If you want, I can give more detail on early patents, demonstrations, or how gas ovens evolved after that.
