When we are next in the tiniHouse I will try to adjust it so that it works like what Steve did in his LD. We will also look into upgrading our ignitor setup in our Atwood oven in our 98~MB. Thanks Steve! Karen~Liam 98 ~ MB NinA Liam, note that when testing in the driveway, it would often take a minute or more with pilot gas flowing to light. But, camping, when the stove was used often, lighting the pilot typically only took a few seconds. Perhaps in the Furion it is similar.Steve
Re: New stove ignitor Reply #27 – March 20, 2022, 04:01:09 pm So originally before we installed the Furrion I tested it and it worked well, I was jealous! After we installed it, the oven lit in one or two sparks and worked well. Most recently when we stayed in the tiniHouse last week which was after the move from the Oregon coast. The oven ignitor sparks but the oven failed to light till there were many sparks 10 to 15. I think now that it could be and alignment issue. I did not spend a lot of time on it and Karen did not get to bake those chocolate chip cookies as promised. We will be back and I will spend more time and maybe get some of those Hot Chocolate Chip Cookies! Then we will become jealous again! Karen~Liam 98 ~ MB NinA 1 Likes
Re: New stove ignitor Reply #28 – March 25, 2022, 01:13:16 pm Hi Liam; I suspect that it takes a lot longer for gas to be the right mixture to light-off as it arrives at the igniter spark. My experience with lighting the oven pilot is to turn it on, wait a minute or so, then light it with a 'butane match'. It is a very small flow of gas, and has to expel air that has accumulated in the line which is pretty far away: from the valve at the oven knob, down to where the pilot is located. RonB
Re: New stove ignitor Reply #29 – March 25, 2022, 01:50:25 pm Thanks Ron for your insight. We did purge the air in the line before attempting to light. It may have not been enough? After I got it lit I turned it off and attempted to relight it, the same issue and it took many times to relight. The next time we go back I will take more time and bring a grill lighter to test that the gas is flowing properly and see if it is all aligned correctly. Karen~Liam 98 ~ MB NinA
Re: New stove ignitor Reply #30 – March 25, 2022, 02:13:01 pm Hi Liam; If I remember correctly, lifting the top off the burners, you can see the brass screw on the oven knob valve that adjusts gas flow to the pilot. You might 'up' that a bit and it might help the lighting speed. Each time you turn on the pilot, it would have to purge that line. At least in my oven, you can leave the pilot on, even when you aren't actually using the oven, by not turning the oven knob all the way to off. Since I don't use my oven often; I actually store cat food in the oven, I don't leave the pilot on much. RonB
Re: New stove ignitor Reply #31 – March 25, 2022, 04:56:25 pm Ron, this gas oven is in a Furrion Range we installed in my Son's tiniHouse, but when I am back there in Portland I will look for and adjustment screw for the pilot light - That's a great idea! ~Liam
