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.

Abstract: A spark igniter for gas burners includes a gas collector having a passage extending between open front and rear ends. The open front end is substantially larger than the open rear end, and is positionable adjacent a gas burner for receiving gas therefrom. Gas flows into the open front end of the collector and mixes with air to form a combustible mixture. A spark igniter mounted within the gas collector passage ignites the mixture to produce a flame for igniting the gas burner. The gas collector is metal and forms the ground electrode for the spark igniter, and has an integral mounting bracket thereon.
