mounting of the button for the ignitor

mounting the electrodes.  considered mounting the electrodes to the bottom of the stovetop and hiding the lower part of the electrode, but would require a custom bracket and didn't seem worth the trouble.

this is the back of the sparker. 

 two small wires on left to electrodes and the heavier 3rd wire is now covered in electrical tape.  all three spark, but this way i did not have to run a ground wire and the 3rd probe is just laying there.

I think i may have successfully posted pics!

	more stove pics: pod isnt level, but this was to determine where to bend the electrode The "Bend" the "cut of the electrode with the guide" running the wires to electrodes and the sparker. the button installed the burners with electrodes

	a few things i would have done different easy to install, but it takes a few seconds for the propane to "find" the spark sometimes. I have learned to blow onto the burner to disperse the propane and that seems to work good if it doesn't immediately ignite. I wonder if there is a point on the burner where the propane is exhausted first and you could put the electrode there. This kit requires a ground if you don't use all three ports on the sparker. so i figured that i would just plug it in and render it useless with electric tape and save the trouble of grounding it. also, i may try and tweak the electrode to be lower on the burner and not be in the flame and get red hot. i think this may assist in ignition since propane is heavier than air and would tend to sink until ignited.

	new stove top cover: Sams cutting board and left over pieces from another project $10 i removed the old hinged stove cover. always in the way and make the area behind it unusable when cooking. this fits that area behind and covers the cooktop too.

	TexMan, absolutely love the stove burner igniter mod. That one is now on my list. Can you tell us where you got the igniter kit?
