2. Piezo ignition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezo_ignition

   Piezo ignition systems can be operated by either a lever, push-button or built into the control knob. An electric spark is usually generated once per turn of the knob or press of the button. Eventually, the crystal will no longer be able to emit an electric discharge.

3. Jetboil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetboil

   Stoves feature a neoprene-insulated pot (), corrugated metal heat exchanger (burner) and burner adjustment valve — with ignition via either an outside source or integral push-button electric igniter, depending on the model.

4. Gas lighter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_lighter

   The gas lighter is mostly cylindrical in shape and consists of a piezo-electric crystal over which a spring-loaded hammer is placed. The hammer and spring set up is attached to a button. When this button is pressed, the hammer is moved away from the piezo-electric crystal. When the button is pressed over a limit, the spring releases the hammer.

5. Electric match - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_match

   Electric matches before, during and after ignition. An electric match is a device that uses an externally applied electric current to ignite a combustible compound.. Electric matches use a bridgewire consisting of a heating element to ignite a pyrogen, which is a quantity of readily ignited pyrotechnic initiator composition.

6. Pyrotechnic initiator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_initiator

   In pyrotechnics, a pyrotechnic initiator (also initiator or igniter) is a device containing a pyrotechnic composition used primarily to ignite other, more difficult-to-ignite materials, such as thermites, gas generators, and solid-fuel rockets. The name is often used also for the compositions themselves.

7. Gas stove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_stove

   A built-in Japanese three burner gas stove with a fish grill. Note the thermistor buttons protruding from the gas burners, which cut off the flame if the temperature exceeds 250 °C. Modern gas stove ranges are safer than older models. Two of the major safety concerns with gas stoves are child-safe controls and accidental ignition.

8. Patio heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patio_heater

   Propane patio heaters are the most popular type, as they are portable and easy to find refill locations such as gas stations or convenience stores. The downside to propane is that you need to purchase a separate tank for each heater you own and can be more costly to operate than electric or natural gas.

9. Pilot light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

   Now it is more common to light a burner electrically, but gas pilot lights are still used when a high energy ignition source is necessary, as in when lighting a large burner. A United States patent was filed May 13, 1922, for a "safety gas-control system" by two employees of the Newark, New Jersey–based Public Service Gas Company, Conrad ...
