no - you will have some trouble there.

Other than the fact that a gas stove only needs enough electricity for ignition and the clock you really shouldn't consider plugging major appliances into a power strip. As for the microwave, you should see what it's power output is and compare it to the rating on the power strip. You wouldn't want to use a power strip that cannot handle the load placed upon it when you operate the microwave.

I hope you are thinking a quick temporary set up. Power strips are for light duty and should be capable of handling 15 Amps safely. I don't know how many Amps the gas stove needs for the light and the clock and/or igniters. If the MW is 1500 watts or more, that is the limit right there. If the MW is 2000 watts or more, (that's 20 Amps right there). Too much ! ! ! Be safe and try and use a single outlet that is GFCI protected all kitchen receptacles should be of that type (plus capable of 20 Amps minimum). Good luck and work safe, you only live once.
P.S. That power strip may not even have that 15 Amp breaker on it.

The stove shouldn't pull much ampreage, even when lighting the stove, but a microwave may pull more than a powerstrip can handle (especially if it is a cheap one). It would likely only keep tripping the fuse on the powerstrip, but could still be a pain in the butt.
I think you would be better off moving the microwave to a spot where you could plug it directly into the wall.

Of course. The only reason a gas stove would be plugged into the electrical outlet is if it has a spark ignitor for the gas. Or maybe it has a clock on it. Either way, the gas stove will require little to know electricity so it will be fine.

you should plug them into GFCI's not power strips first of all and make sure they are on 2 different GFCI outlets because they are both high powered machines and it will draw to much electric from just on GFCI plug and possibly blow a fuse or cause a shortage in ur home. possibly even a small fire!.yeah so u can never be too safe with that. i recommend you go to Lowes and get some GFCI outlets and install them instead of using a power strip. A power strip is more for a computer or office equipment. GFCI's are for kitchen machines and bathrooms and stuff.

Gas stove?
Did you even read this before writing it?
If you are plugging in a gas stove to a power strip it is likely only for the electronics and as such is probably only using as much electricity as a clock radio.

I would say its fine... With the stove being gas, I am assuming that it is just for either a light or the ignition. otherwise why else would you plug a GAS stove in??

God only knows. But why in the world would you even think about it???? It just sounds like an accident waiting for a place to happen . . . and you'd be providing that place. I'd say "goodbye" to your home and belongings as you watch everything go up in flames. Hope you don't live in an apartment or a condo . . . if you do, consider the lives of the other tenants, please.

SURE... THE GAS STOVE ONLY NEED 110 FOR THE IGNITER ( CLICK, CLICK, CLICK ), & THE CLOCK& GLOW PLUG, IE - NO AMPS TO CLASH W/ MICRO!
