Abstract

Apparatus for igniting a burner of a barbeque includes a housing, a mesh, an orifice, a pair of conductors and a generator. The housing defines a conduit having an inlet and an outlet spaced apart from the inlet. The mesh occludes the conduit and is positioned adjacent the outlet. The orifice is for receiving combustible gas and communicates with the inlet. The pair of conductors define a gap, the gap being positioned such that the gap is disposed in spaced relation to the mesh and the mesh is disposed intermediate the orifice and the gap. The generator is for producing a spark across the gap.
