Coleman Dual Burner Stove with Electronic Ignition

Hi Troops,

How many of you people have a Coleman Dual Burner Gas Stove with electronic ignition?

Still Working?

The auto ignition on mine failed some time back and I have just been igniting it with a "magic wand". The self igniter would not create a spark.

During an idle moment during our just completed trip, I decided to pull it apart and check it out. Bingo, found the trouble. The insulation along the majority of the length of the ignition wires on both sides have melted away due to heat.
I also noticed the paint has burnt away underneath, around the burner mounting.

So, be a little careful that the stove doesn't ignite something else, if it's sitting on a combustible surface.

Doesn't look too easy to replace the ignition wire either so I'll just continue to light it with the "wand" or matches, etc.

Not really complaining about the stove which still gives off excellent heat from the burners and lights first time, every time. Certainly doesn't suffer from "blocked jets" (like my previous one did) because it doesn't have any.
