The hottest may well be the lower part of the oven shelf. Hot spots vary with the age and use on the gas oven and the best way to know where this is (especially for old gas ovens is to bake some toast bread on a jellyroll pan. After "toasting" the bread for a few minutes, you can see which part it burned most. From there you can make adjustments when you start baking.
