Is there any way to make a pilot light for a outdoor propane cooking burner.?
I have a burner that when I use it it works great. The problem is that when i do use it I have to use a lighter to relight it every time which can be up to one hundred times a day.
It has a regulator which screws into a propane tank and that hose screws into the burner.
I just don’t know how to build a pilot light for it.
I’m wondering if I get a "T" attachment if I I can attach that to the tank and then have one hose attached to the burner and one hose acting as a pilot light. I have tried every google word search I can think of and haven’t been able to find a way to do it.

PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT….You will blow yourself and anyone around up. The regulator is to control the amount of propane pressure to properly operate the grill/burner, the ignitor is what it is a electrical spark usually produced by a battery sending the arc to the end of the wire at the burner which ignites the propane. Look for the battery compartment by tracing the wire or buy a new one or keep using the lighter.
WHOAH! Don’t use a tee fitting! That could end bad! For this type of application the electronic spark igniter is the safest and best fix. What you need is something like this Char-Broil 2884681 Hot Shot Igniter, Single Spark. The problem with a standing pilot is the chance of the flame going back up the line. That style of pilot works in relation with a gas valve, not a pressure regulator on the tank. A spark igniter will not have that problem. Hope this helps. Good luck.
You can go to a plumbing supply house and get a standing pilot assembly , tubing and a safety control valve (the valve that shuts off the burner and pilot if the pilot goes out) about $80 -125
or a tee, pilot assembly, tubing and a small shutoff (mechanical valve) about $20 (with this you have no safety if pilot goes out)
they make 1/4 aluminum tubing which is used for pilots on furnaces and hot water heaters. The tubing ends are compression style fittings, with female or male ends. I imagine if you shopped around home depot long enough you could come up with some contraption that would work. Or you you could try to install a push-button spark generator, I think that would be less hassle.
This is what will work for you …..they are great.
I use my grill year round and never had a problem with the battery powered igniter
