Abstract: A grill lighting apparatus comprising a hollow conduit adapted to be mounted to a hollow frame member of a gas grill. A first end of the conduit has a circumference smaller than that of the hollow frame member such that the first end may be mounted in a sliding fit relationship within the frame member. The conduit extends upwardly and includes a second end displaced from the first end and positioned over a cooking grate of the grill. An illumination assembly is pivotally mounted to the second end of the conduit. A flexible tube or hose extends through the interior space of the conduit and is adapted to carry a combustible fuel, such as propane, from a fuel tank of the gas grill to the illumination assembly. The illumination assembly includes a mantle which is effective to provide light when the fuel delivered thereto is ignited under controlled conditions.
