Electronic Ignition for Stovetop (w/pics)
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...

I hope someone can answer this.
I bought an igniter kit to install in our cooktop. Only $9 at WM because the package was opened (yes, it does work fine).
I note that the OP has the electrodes inside the aluminum "cans" on the underside. I have seen a few pics where some have a long electrode mounted on the side of the "can". Can either method be used? I have long electrodes and could cut them short to go inside the cans. I think OP had them there because that's where the original ones were.
Does it matter which way you mount them? Some have said if you mount them on the side, it's finicky where you put the tip of the electrode so it will ignite okay. I'd rather put them on the underside where they are out of the way.
It sure seems dumb that you have to pay tens of thousands for your TT only to have to use a BBQ lighter on your cooktop.... :R
