ABSTRACT:
A flame igniter for lighting barbecues, gas fireplaces and other devices which tend to flash and therefore require remote ignition. The igniter includes a cylindrical, liquefied gas, fuel reservoir having a plug and valve assembly positioned in one end for filling from commercial containers having various nozzle designs and also for emergency pressure release, and a similar plug in the opposite end, a portion of which forms a valve seat against which a metal valve needle can be actuated to release and regulate fuel into a long thin burner tube, which exits adjacent a removable modular igniter assembly with a confortably operating spark wheel. The burner tube is connected to the source of liquefied gas by the valve and a relatively long tube beneath the valve. The tube has a predetermined volume for liquid fuel so that tilting the igniter from its normal upright position, when the flame is ignited, to an inverted position feeds liquid fuel to the valve for a predetermined time determined by the volume so that the quality and size of the flame does not vary appreciably for the time period required for operation of the igniter.
