Installed 2 burner stove question

Does anyone know why NuCamp uses a 2 burner stove which is "match lit", rather than putting one in that has a "sparker" built in?

    Basic stove model, industry standard?  The sparkers have been known to wear out and you end up using a match anyway.

    In addition, an electronic spark ignite is energy needed when a match will do. For some of our serious boondockers, it would be wasted energy. (Pssst. Them folks be serious about energy consumption and usage!). :)

    I keep a piezoelectric lighter inside the stove.

    This feature must be a late model change, our 2015 320 S has the sparker starter feature.

    Interesting. My 2015 does not have this.

    My 2019 Tab 320 S (Boondock Lite) does not have a starter.

    I've wondered why, indeed!

    @Ratkity... The piezo-electric sparkers (like on an outdoor gas grill) use your thumb energy, no outside energy source needed!

    @T@Balong, I'm jealous.  :|

    @ChanW I was thinking electric igniters, not peizo. Those fail so much.

    @pthomas745, thanks for the Tacklife igniter link.  Just ordered one.  I hate those butane lighters.

    @Sharon_is_SAM you are welcome.  It is a very nice little tool, small enough to fit easily in the cabinet above my stove.
