Abstract
A gas burner assembly includes an electrically conductive burner cap body with a plurality of burner ports and an ignition port formed in a sidewall of the burner cap body. The burner cap body is connected to an electrical ground potential. An electrically insulative support member is mounted in the ignition port and defines an electrode receiving aperture. The support member cooperates with the ignition port to define an ignition gas pathway. A spark electrode is positioned within the burner chamber and projects through the support member aperture spaced apart from the ignition gas pathway. The spark electrode is selectively connected to a high voltage potential for providing ignition sparks between the electrode and the burner body through the ignition gas pathway.
