	[[Image:BBQ_Ignitor.jpg\|right\|thumb\|250px\|A simple ~~piezo ignitor~~ for a grill]]A '''BBQ ~~ignitor~~''' or grill ~~ignitor~~ is arguably the simplest spudgun [[ignition source]]. It consists of a pushbutton, that activates a hammer mechanism that strikes a piezoelectric crystal. The crystal generates a high voltage pulse that can be made to jump a small spark gap. One of the main advantages to a BBQ ~~ignitor~~ is that it doesn't use batteries, and is cheap and relatively small. Quality differs quite a bit though, some ~~ignitors~~ last for many years while other break after some time of use. The spark is also the weakest of the common ignition sources, and achieving ignition may take several attempts in some circumstances (cold weather, sub-optimal fuel mixes, etc).
