I finally got tired enough of the piezoelectric igniter on my Atwood stovetop that I decided to replace it with a battery-powered igniter unit. You know what I’m talking about. You twist the knob; bam...

NOT True If You turn oven knob to turn on pilot it will fill oven with gas I know because this has happened to me. Good thing we smelled it before we lit the stove. That is why when I modded mine it does not have one in the oven.
Hmm, I think your oven is broken. You are supposed to have to press and hold the knob to activate the gas flow to the pilot. If it doesn't light and you aren't pressing the knob in, the gas flow should stop. If an unlit pilot filled your oven, you should maybe have that looked at.
OK, so I did this mod too and have been following this arguement. Just read the last couple of posts, so just got up and tried it. The only way you can get gas to flow is to push the knob in and turn it. You cannot get gas to flow without pushing it in.. Therefore this is a safe mod. If you push in and turn the knob and walk away, you're going to blow up with either a clicker or an electric ignition. So check and make sure it lights, no matter what system you use.
