i gave up on the built in sparker on our LP stove top in favor of a long bic bbq style lighter. Since living aboard we go thru lighters and since I am cheap there is usually a period of doing the lighter click dance before trashing the old lighter. My darling wife and head researcher sent away for a battery operated "sparker" to try. For us it has been an improvement to the lighter. it is a camco 57533 olympian gm 12 multi sparker. Easier than the lighter.
