I am sure you could install a snap sparker from a discarded camp stove or
BBQ grill.  The automatic ones used in kitchen ranges use 110 volts and
re-spark in a series until the knob/valve is let go and advanced to a flame
height setting.
Far simpler...
We use a butane 6" lighter. A fellow camper pointed out that even after the
gas is used up in the lighter, the piezzo still sparks and is useful for
lighting our stoves... I love these practical tips; less stuff in the trash
stream.
HTH.
