Abstract
A spark igniter for gas grills includes a gas collector mountable on the grill housing adjacent a gas burner and having a collector inlet for receiving gas from the burner. An adjustable mounting device attached to the collector provides vertical adjustment of the collector for positioning the collector inlet at a proper elevation for receiving gas from the burner. The adjustable mounting device also serves to attach an electrode to the collector and position the electrode tip in a predetermined location for defining a spark gap.
