Pizo lighter in the oven

I woulld like to install a pizo lighter in the oven, These darn ovens are too low for some to hold the valve open , flip the switch on the hand held and be able to getup after the flame gets to going.
I know some units come wiith these factory installed, BUT?
Any one do this for themselves?

    Yes, sort of. Mine had a rotating clicker that would wake the dead so I replaced it with a battery operated one from a True Value hardware store. It has 4 leads so I wired it to the 3 stove top burners and the oven.

    An alternative solution. I use a cheap 99 cent store hand mirror. Lay it on the bottom of the oven and I can see where to aim the BBQ lighter. Also to verify the pilot is lit.

    The hand mirror is handy tool for other jobs,looking for things at the back of a cabinet, an extra long back up mirror.

    I did it too the stovetop was really easy. I actually waited a while to do the oven so I got another set of bbq electrodes and fiddled around until I got it to work but it's well worth it
