Hello

Unless a previous owner added it, you are mistaken about having electric ignition. So far no Pod has been delivered with it from FR. Some owners have added it. Usually battery operated/push button.

If you have piezo igniter, it is not electronic ignition, you have to push a button ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |

I'd post a picture but it might be easier and less time consuming to put up billboards along the major highways every 10 miles or so across the country then try to figure out how to put an image in here.... ------------- 2015 RP179 |

Post your picture to postimage.org then link here. Here is a picture of the suburban cook top in our R-Pod. In this picture it is mounted in a flush mount holder, But I assure you, it's the same one put in every pod built so far. The flush mount is also in all Pods since 2017 model year. https://postimg.org/image/leh251mn1/">  https://postimg.org/image/ixsqdv2l9/">  ------------- |

| I installed a piezo ignition for our 179's stove. It requires pushing a button; I put the button on the cabinet panel immediately below the stove. The igniter runs on a single AA battery. |

furpod, how do you link the pictures here once you post them on postimage.org? I went to that site and it looks pretty easy to load pictures, but I didn't see anything obvious to set up the link. But, then I have male pattern blindness and can't see the carton of milk in the fridge when it's right in front of me. I hope I'll be able to post some pictures. ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

I use the website: postimage.org. It is free and you don't even need to register. Open the website in a separate tab from the post. From the first page, select the image size (I use 800x600), then, if you wish to have the image deleted from their database, select the removal time, then click on "choose images". The folder that you last used on the site will automatically open. The first time you use the site, you will need to open the folder or device where you store your r-pod pictures and from then on, it will open automatically. Choose your image and double click on it. The next page will show various options. On the right-hand side of the line labelled "Hotlink for forums", you will see a folder icon in blue. Click on the icon. The item will indicate "Copied". Then return to your post and press "Ctrl + v" to copy the image into your post. You can only copy one image at a time, but you can add more than one image to a post. For more than one picture, return to the postimage,org site and it should ask you to select the next picture. Follow the same process as for the first image. Hope this is clear. ------------- If you want something done right, do it yourself. 2011 RP172, 2016 Tundra 5.7 Litre, Ltd. |
