Comments on: Is there any way to make a pilot light for a outdoor propane cooking burner.? http://www.gascampingstove.net/is-there-any-way-to-make-a-pilot-light-for-a-outdoor-propane-cooking-burner.html Let's Get Cooking Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:04:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: hopethishelps http://www.gascampingstove.net/is-there-any-way-to-make-a-pilot-light-for-a-outdoor-propane-cooking-burner.html/comment-page-1#comment-627 hopethishelps Fri, 14 May 2010 13:55:07 +0000 #comment-627 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. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT….You will blow yourself and anyone around up.

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. WHOAH! Don’t use a tee fitting!

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. they make 1/4 aluminum tubing which is used for pilots on furnaces and hot water heaters.

I use my grill year round and never had a problem with the battery powered igniter http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FJVKNM/ref=asc_df_B000FJVKNM1038259?tag=the004-20&creative=380333&creativeASIN=B000FJVKNM&linkCode=asn This is what will work for you …..they are great.
