just my opinion on the oven ignigter there is a reason why the manufacture does not put one in the oven and it is because if by chance the over knob gets turned on and you don't catch in time the oven will fill with gas and then you go to lite the stove top and everything goes BOOM so just be really careful with it and check all the knobs before lighting any burners on the stove top
Not true. The oven gas valve will not turn on regardless of the knob position unless it senses heat from the pilot light. The pilot then lights the main burner when called for by the setting of the knob with feed back from the temp sensor. The above mod only makes it more convenient to light the pilot. Electronic ignition without a pilot for the oven is a whole different ball game. Nothing in this mod changes the original operation of the stove or oven; it is just more convenient and reliable.

Well dumb of me to be thinking of safety because things do happen and things do break and propane in an enclosed space is not good at least if you lit the oven manually you would at least smelled the build up of propane before striking the match but then again it is only my opinion on this matter

I went with the Charbroil seperate push button switch and module for the magic chef. Still waiting on the electrode, ground wire and extension wire needed to finish the installation. Hope someday that they have oven lighters standard in RVs, what a pain, having to roll around on the floor with a lighter in one hand and a gas control knob in the other. Tom

I love this mod and have came across the electronic module in a close out bin for $8... where can I find the 3 electrodes needed to do the install since my stove is currently a match light unit? It is a Suburban so do I need longer electrodes or what? Not concerned with oven at present...

On my Magic Chef range top there was not room to install the new electronic sparker (found a 3 wire unit on amazon) so I modded it with a remove switch which took the place of the old twist knob. Now I just have a small red button. Mounted the electronic sparker to a plate under the cook top. I used the original center mounter electrode and grounded the other two leads.
Diveman52,
I'm in the same situation, Magic Chef without enough room, and I really want to do this upgrade. Tried to find the 3 wire one you mention on Amazon but no luck. Could you please reply with the part number or a link to it.
Also do you plan on adding this mod to your motor home updates site?
Thanks,
Tom
