I asked a question a couple of weeks ago about lighting the gas fridge. My spark lighter had just about given up and I wondered if I could use a bbq gas lighter by removing the outside bottom vent.
Everybody gave me cautious advice because of the legalities of messing with gas and explosions. Anyway, It stayed lit for the 2 weeks while I was away and I did not tamper with it because I did not want to be without cold beer.
Now that we are back I turned the fridge off and then attempted to light it again using the bbq lighter. My wife held the plunger in and I sparked the lighter in roughly the right area where the little blue flame appears. It lit first time.
So, the moral of the story, if the fridge won't light with the spark lighter on the control panel the bbq lighter will work very well in an emergency.
