I could go for the pilot light way, even run it off the same cylinder, but i like the idea if having it all remote and the gas escaping and the ignition being simultaneous and no flickering pilot light....... i will film it when i have it working, you will see what i mean! yep, i tried that exactly, with the ignition coil and the relay, but it does not work - i have got a 10A, fully adjustable square wave signal generator on its way which should work.

I think the relay open/closed too fast to make things work. I ended up purchasing an ignition coil from a fuel oil boiler. It requires electrical current from a generator or inverter as it\'s 110 volts (240 where you live?) but the spark generated is very impressive. I did end up also using a 2nd propane cylinder just to feed a pilot light. I had a difficult time always getting the ignition coil to ignite the propane.
