A pilot burner assembly includes a grounded conduit defining one or more first fluid inlets for receiving a first fluid, and a main outlet. The assembly further includes a conductive conduit extending within the grounded conduit such that an annular chamber is formed therebetween, the conductive conduit defining a second fluid inlet for receiving a second fluid, and one or more second fluid outlets for discharging the second fluid into the annular chamber such that the first and second fluids mix in the annular chamber to form a combustible mixture. Moreover, the assembly includes an igniter tip electrically connected to the conductive conduit and arranged adjacent to the one or more second fluid outlets, wherein the igniter tip is spaced from the grounded conduit such that an electrical current applied to the igniter tip generates a spark between the igniter tip and the grounded conduit for igniting the combustible mixture.
