Many, many thanks for this information. After reading ABCellars's post and many others, I decided to buy an igniter and the coils (about $17 and $10 respectively on Amazon). I installed the coils first and had the same problem. It lit when cool, then stopped working, even though the igniter glowed. Once I removed the igniter, I could tell exactly what he meant by "lost its sparkles." I installed the new igniter and the problem was solved. Thanks, again ABCellars
