I'd figure they're the same thing. They both ignite gas so...

Look at your question closely...

They are essentially the same thing. A gas heater igniter's purpose is to ignite gas to heat; futhermore, a gas grill igniter does the same thing- it ignites gas to heat.

They both use either Peizo manual ignitor's or electronically battery operated ignitors.

I'm with CasinoV, piezoelectric grill ignitors are cheap, and they last a long time, I have had a few since the beginning of Summer and they still work.
