If you've trouble setting up a webcam, the worst you could do is borrow a digital videocam, hide it in your kitchen and set it to record at low resolution come early morning.
Also, the only way the burner can turn on is my manually turning the knobs, right? I mean it couldn't be an electrical fault or anything?

MTAR, it's your cats man. Last year miles kept getting clocked up on my car even though it was parked in the garage & "impossible" to move... when I installed a web cam this is what I found:
Joy riding fucken cats!
Keep an eye on them MTAR, they're playing with your mind dude.

My home is out in the woods. I dont lock it.
When we came home i noticed that it was unusually warm in my house. Then I noticed that the large burner on my stove was set to high.
I know for a fact that we did not turn on the burner. It had not been used in almost 2 days prior.
It seems like no big deal... but the more I think about it the more it freaks me out. somebody turned on that burner, on purpose. If only my cats could talk.
wtf?
holy fuck this happened to me once!! exact goddamned same thing!!
also three times?

nope, the knob is turned. The first and last time it waas set very specifically to "high", maxed out. The second time it was set exactly to "5", right in the middle.

MTAR - yeah, three times exactly. honest to god. AND i followed a lot of your steps, too. i changed all the locks, put deadbolts on everything, even got two windows replaced because it looked like it could be easily removed.
turns out all i was doing was helping lock myself in with the deranged psychopath who was hiding in my basement over the last couple of weeks and kept turning on the burner after i left the house.

Holy shit.
MTAR, you should set up a camera. Just get a cheap VHS and a six-hour tape, point it at the stove, obscure it to the best of your ability, and run it when you leave the house. The next time you find the burner on, review tape.

oh god dammit i'm joking!
i'm trying to think of logical explanations.
if arson was the point, then turning on a burner seems a pretty awesome way to do it. no evidence other than the stove being left on, which isn't very incriminating.
otherwise, what's the point? it's a terrible practical joke. do you have any lighters/matches in your house?
the first two times could be related, the second time the person managed to get in through the front without wrecking the door somehow. the third time could be your roommate playing up the situation?
