Texman 182g Mods

well i will try.  go to https://postimage.io and hit the blue signup button at top right.  They send you a password via your email.  Login and use the upload button to move pics from your pc to their website, then once your pics are on the postimage site, open them and copy and paste to your post, is how i did it.

This is my next mod.  The new valve gets here tomorrow. This is a "borrow"from the facebook group.

a few things i would have done different

easy to install, but it takes a few seconds for the propane to "find" the spark sometimes.  I have learned to blow onto the burner to disperse the propane and that seems to work good if it doesn't immediately ignite.  I wonder if there is a point on the burner where the propane is exhausted first and you could put the electrode there. This kit requires a ground if you don't use all three ports on the sparker.  so i figured that i would just plug it in and render it useless with electric tape and save the trouble of grounding it.

also, i may try and tweak the electrode to be lower on the burner and not be in the flame and get red hot. i think this may assist in ignition since propane is heavier than air and would tend to sink until ignited.

more stove pics:
pod isnt level, but this was to determine where to bend the electrode

the "cut of the electrode with the guide"


running the wires to electrodes and the sparker.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the completed cooktop modification. I want to do that my self. If you can't post pictures of the steps, let me know and I'll give you an email address in pm to send them.
