My install is probably worst case because the generator was too tall, correct one would fit without hacking. Though minor, it does require some modification to your stove, extent depending on the kit you find. Other option is installing the lil black box generator in a wall or in a surface mount elect box. The face plate on stove once knobs removed is easily removed to be worked on. Most remove manual striker from stove, enlarge the hole in face plate and add the new battery powered spark generator. You can utilize existing stove top ignitors and wiring. The generator can be had in any number of outlets, For most campers a 4 outlet (number of burners +oven). You can either get kits that come with igniter/electrode or just the spark generator and an extra igniter for the oven. Several sources on different forums on how they did there’s- a bazillion places to purchase the kits. Newer stoves that have push and hold feature will say so.
#ATWOOD PIEZO IGNITER MOD#
Whether you have 'Pilot On' or 'Pilot/Push/Hold' this mod will work. I know some folks have been holding in the knob, while holding a lighter heating the thermocouple.on pre "Pilot/Push/Hold" when all they are really doing is waiting for gas to purge line. What reinforces these notions is it takes a while for gas to purge the air thru that very tiny hole out of pilot tube. The thermocouple only control gas to main burner. When knob is turned to 'Pilot On"- it IS ON, gas is flowing. Older stoves simply do not work like that. Some even believe they need to heat the thermocouple for pilot to light. A lot of folks think you need to hold in knob while trying to light pilot. Our stove oven (2001) DOES NOT require holding in knob to light pilot. NOTE: lighting the pilot on older Atwood ovens. Having ability to simply push same button to light burners a plus. Finally decided to do this-primarily to simply push a button to light oven. The manual striker we rarely use to light the stove top burners-it’s just too obnoxiously loud. Always thought would be nice not having to lay on the floor, one hand on the pilot knob other hand trying to get lighter under pilot- just a pain for me. If you have a camper and it has an oven you know the drill- I’ve seen this mod for a while.
