Why no oven ignitor? Is it easy to add an oven ignitor?
Why do many RVs have an auto-igniter on every other system---including the range burners---but not the oven? Why is the oven the exception? Is it easy to add an igniter to the oven?

And don't think you can do it with a ignitor with 2 or 3 outputs and put several in parallel. Won't work. on the ones you parallel only ONE will spark, not both/all.
You have to ground the unused circuits and then it will work.
There is some miscommunication here.
Using a igniter with two or three outputs will work for the oven and one or two burners.
But to get the electronic igniter to work on all burners as well as the oven pilot light requires one with as many total outputs as you are wanting to light.
Since most stoves have three burners and one oven pilot light, then a four output igniter is needed.
correct.
There are lots of ignitors out there for BBQ with either two or three outputs. And a few with 4. the one with 4 is what you need.
If you have a two burner stove and oven, then one with 3 outputs will work fine.
if you have outputs you don't use, you can ground them. but don't expect ONE output to give you a spark on TWO ingitors. What will happen is that ONE of the ignitors will spark, the other one won't. Which one sparks?? Usually the one with the shortest open path.
