Hot-tube ignitor

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes when you turn on the stove, the flame doesn't light right away? That's because it needs something to start the fire. A hot-tube ignitor is like a lighter for the stove, but instead of a tiny flame, it uses electricity to heat up a little tube until it gets really hot.

Once the tube is hot enough, it touches a part of the stove that has gas coming out of it. When the gas touches the hot tube, it catches fire and makes a flame.

So basically, a hot-tube ignitor is a special tool that helps start the fire on your stove or other appliances that use gas. It's an easy way to make sure that your stove lights up safely and quickly every time you use it.
