I always wanted to do this - would need thermocouples for most installations. As my idea was a home display, I planned on not using them. I was going to run wires and use piezo clicker tech to light them after the gas was turned on.

Perhaps someday I'll try to add fire to my currently in-the-works fountain show. It would require electric igniters, and I might use piezo, or high voltage (a tiny neon transformer).

Actually, that's a good idea. Hmmm... Could run a pipe along the front lip of the pool, with the spark gap at the center so fire starts there and spreads out to the ends... I like that thought. Thread spawns a slightly OT idea...
