Abstract
A gas burner assembly includes a metal burner body with main burner ports formed in a sidewall containing an internal fuel chamber. An electrically conductive burner top member overlies the burner body. The top member and body are electrically isolated from one another and are spaced apart to define an ignition gas pathway extending from the internal chamber to an ignition region above the main burner ports. A spark ignition circuit includes a spark gap in series circuit relationship between the burner body and the top member. Fuel supplied to the fuel chamber flows through the ignition gas pathway, is ignited by sparking at the spark gap and in turn ignites fuel flowing from the main burner ports.
