BBQ Lighters

[spudbud101]

Hey,

I went to Lowes today looking for BBQ Lighters and all the ons that they had only had one wire. How can I add a second wire?

Thanks.

[hi]

what do you maen it only has one wire? thats impossible if its a standard bbq ignitor. post a picture or give us a link because i have never seen one with one wire.

What I mean is that there is one terminal on the bottom of it that connects to the burners on a grill. The body of the sparker, I think, makes the circuit complete through the grill.

Do not solder to the terminal, instead solder a lead to a small piece of brass and bend the brass piece into a clamp to put on the terminal. That should work.

What are you talking about?

[Spedy]

Adding another wire. You can't solder to the terminal because the heat will fry the sparker's inards.

is this where there is a big round metal piece and one wire? cause i find that the most common if it is. so if it is, mount the metal part on the screw and put the wire on the other screw. hope this helps
