Great video! Game changer from the old heat rod. I recommend doing the electrical tape in the video to feed it through. Only other thing i would recommend if you do if you are installing by yourself is taking the 4 bolts off and actually disconnecting the hopper and feeder from the grill. It makes it much easier to plug and play the wires and re zip tie them all together. Took me an hour. Great video gents
Hahahahah glad you enjoyed the video Brian!!! Pretty easy to do but the hard part is getting the old one fished through all the dang holes without stripping down the hopper completely!!! ha ha Thanks for watching!!
The new igniter worked well for the first few times on my CampChef PG24, but multiple flameouts after that and two blown fuses. I went back to old igniter and no more problems. YMMV
8 benefits that heat founder invented silicon nitride ignition rod can bring to customers:👍👍👍 1.Fast- Initial startup ignition without a lot of smoke, no choking (apartment buildings can be used without affecting the neighbors) as fast as 90 seconds to ignite. 2.Stable-Good temperature stability -especially in smoke mode. 3. Efficient - Fast response time to compensate for temperature. 4.Professional-Aerospace ignition technology. 5. Clean - easy to clean the fire canister. 6. Energy saving - fast ignition speed. 7. Safety - All ceramic ignition rod is safer. 8. Long life - more than 3 years service life.
Great information Ricer. Nice showing off your "on your back" labor too! 😉If I ever jump on the Pellet Smoker train, I'd probably just change to one of these igniters during initial assembly. I think the pellet cooker manufactures are going to have to start offering these as standard, sooner or later. Looks like a game changer to me... 👍
Ya Grumpus a lot of the higher end models from all brands are using these type of igniters now. So hopefully they start using them in the lower end pellet grills too!! I knew they would be faster but not that fast!! That explains why I do not see as much smoke during the start up on a couple of the newer pits I have. They light up so quick and the fire pot doesn't fill up with as many pellets. Pellet grills are great for convenience!!! Thanks for watching Grumpus!!!!
Interesting igniters. I wonder why they don't stick out as much as a normal one. You would think if they did it would end up with an even faster ignition and more consistent results.
Ya George a lot of the new higher end models are using this type of igniter and it only makes sense that they start putting these in all of them!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
I know I was supposed to be watching all that wiring stuff but I was more interested in checking out your tripod and the device holding your cell/timer. This is a great video for the pellet folks. Hmmm, Abba. 😁👍🍻
IF my new igniter for 12 dollars doesn't work, I will be manually starting the smoker like i did this weekend with the Bernzomatic MAP gas torch......the igniter is a convenience item especially when I found I could light this thing manually...great video though
Very cool Ricer. If I ever revisit my old 070 Treager and it’s hot rod goes out I will definitely roll with one of these. The old hot rod and the waiting game was often pain. The LSG. Not so much. 😂
Heck ya Jerry!!! These really help speed up the start up for sure!!! YA the LSG's igniter is different for sure!!! Thanks for watching brother and I hope you are doing good!!!!!
Great video i have a trail embers pellet smoker hot rod isn't working auger motor isn't working and it has ERR CODE says temp probe im wondering if fuse could be blown but don't where to look for it any help would be greatly appreciated
DANG IT!!!! That is weird!!! Did you try contacting them??? I have put these igniters in 4 pits and haven't had an issue yet!?!?!?!? If you got an answer let me know, make a new comment so I get the alert, replies to an OG comment never gives me a notice anymore!?!?!?! Thanks!!
Wonder if anyone knows.. I have a Hot Rod igniter for a Smokin Bros grill. Its stamped as a 120v 125W. I cant find an igniter with these specs' although there are a lot available at the 120v 200w rating. So question is can you substitute a 200w unit where the original was a 125w? Thanks!
I just put a new igniter in my GMG, no set screw, no need to remove the fire pot, just un hook the two wires under the hopper and pull the broke igniter out from the fire pot, then slide the new igniter wires through the fire pot hole, rehook the two wires under the hopper and you’re done. Literally a 15 minute job. I could have done it in 5 minutes if it wasn’t my first time.
Ya they designed theirs that way because in the past they had so many igniter fails people never stopped calling and complaining to them about it. Thanks for watching!!
@ yeah whatever, I bought my first GMG 15 years ago, gave it to a coworker, the igniter has only been replaced once and it’s still working 15 years later. It’s a better design, why not just admit it? The one I bought 15 years ago was replaced basically the same way they’re replaced now, so it wasn’t a design change, it was like that from the beginning. Get your facts straight. Why would you even say that? Aren’t you the BBQ pro? And you make shit up?
Hahaha I honestly have been told that GMG go through igniters. Not making that up. They make great pits, I have an Edge sitting in the studio, just haven’t even filmed a video on it. Thanks for watching.
@ you “been told” by who? Cmon dude, don’t repeat crap if you don’t have first hand knowledge. The reason I went with GMG 15 years ago is because at the time, treagers had like 3 setting, smoke medium and high or something like that. GMG had 5 degree increments. Once the treager family sold the company they’re overpriced, they don’t even put out smoke, I’ve been at games at his house and I’m wondering if it’s even on…like no smoke at all, he was at my house for ribs a while back and as blown away by the smoke coming out of my GMG. That’s a true story.
Been told by GMG guys in the business. It’s cool you are a fan of them. I like their pits, loud but do a good job. Plus Jason is a good dude too. The new Timberline and Ironwood do a good job but nothing and I mean nothing matches my American made Lone Star Grillz when it comes to a pellet grill. It is a boat anchor and will out smoke every pellet grill made. I will say the best box store Chinese pit is the Weber Searwood. I was surprised after the Smokefire debacle. Anyways, glad you have had great luck and everyone is a fan of something. I mean I am a huge Ariens snowblower fan and wouldn’t buy another brand unless Ariens closed their doors permanently.
Great improvement! - I will have a 24" Camp Chef Woodwind Pro as soon as they are available in Canada - Will they come with one of these, or should I plan to order one before assembly? Thanks! - Cheers!
Hmmm Garry good question! I am not sure about Camp Chef but I am sure they have it listed in the specs or you could call Camp Chef's customer service. These are very nice igniters for sure and they do make a difference but I would double check to make sure it is compatible!! Thanks for watching brother!!
Yes I will be! Not sure when it will be here but Pit Boss sent me a confirmation today actually that they are sending me one! I am looking forward to getting that pit fired up!! Thanks for watching!!
Both are good! It just depends on how much you want to spend. I just did the burn off on the Ironwood tonight. Nice pit and IMO a little nicer than the Elite but costs a lot more and the Elite you can grill on easier. Thanks for watching but sounds like you need to just flip a coin!!!
@deadbrokebbq Awesome video. Out of curiosity does the controller go into smoke mode faster after shaving off 3 minutes from the ignition cycle? I wonder if the minimal ignition time is fixed in the controller.
Not really sure but I have used that grill since I filmed this and it still smokes decent in smoke mode. I have actually changed out the igniters on the other 2 pits I showed in the video. The Pit Boss sportsman and the Traeger Pro 22, both of these are running the same as they did prior as far as I can tell. Thanks for watching!!!
Feel like 3 minutes difference for a 10 hour smoke doesn't justify the cost to me. If it lasts 4x as long however, that reliability would be very helpful. My replacement (standard) igniter went out this weekend after only 6 months. $40 is worth trying a tougher alternative. Thanks for taking the plunge and comparing the two.

I bought one this spring to try on my Oklahoma Joe's DLX 1200 and after 5 months I cannot recommend this ignitor. I always runs too hot, when I set my temp to 225 I'm always running around 260+, and it just gets worse as I increase the temp. Further, when I crank up the heat to 450+ it burns through the pellets too fast and I continually get a check hopper error. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it back to showing temp.
Hmmmm weird because I have not seen that issue on the couple I have used. I will say I had a lot of issues with both OK Joe pellet grill models I have owned with all OG parts. Both models never really ran close to the temp I sent it at.
just had to do this, and purchased the stock igniter. I like the look of this new one you're testing there, but i am not sure if saving 3 mins is worth 50 bucks versus 10 bucks for 2 of the others. I do like the longevity rating of that igniter though. 100,000 cycles sounds good. I am wondering what the MTBF of the stock igniter is.
Not ever having to change it out again, makes it worth it to me!! The reason why I showed how fast it ignited was to show how efficient they work. Most new pellet grills are switching over to this style of igniter because of all the complaints from most people having to change them out. Thanks for watching!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ yeah I noticed the change recently. I’ll have to keep looking out for them to see if the price drops. Having to wait 8-10 mins just for it to start up sucks.
Hahahhaha well honestly just last week a pellet grill company sent me a new grill to review and it came in with no screws holding the fire pot together on the auger housing!!??!! So I had to call them and ask!!!! hahahha My guess some Chinese dude must have been thinking about his vacation he was going on the next day!!!!! hahaha

On a side note Pit Boss customer service is fantastic.
you made changing igniters fun to watch! Excellent work Jeff

Hmmm, they make the igniters for a lot of new models so not sure what went wrong with yours?!?
Very good video👍, very good igniter👍. I bought to try two igniters over the summer and I was very impressed with the quick ignition.
Thank you and yes these are very good igniters!! Thanks for watching!!!

where can i get a good replacement for my zgrill ?
Check their website or on Amazon. Thanks for watching!

You would have to check with the manufacture. Seems like they have a lot of sizes!
@DeadBrokeBBQ thank you! I swear its so hard to find parts for this grill. 😩
Are you going to review the new Pitt boss pro series ?
Yes I will be! Not sure when it will be here but Pit Boss sent me a confirmation today actually that they are sending me one! I am looking forward to getting that pit fired up!! Thanks for watching!!

This one is still running.
I was looking around on Google and couldn’t find anything. Do you know anybody that makes one of these for a Camp chef grill?
I do not think they make them for Camp Chef yet. You might have to directly contact Camp Chef! Thanks for watching!
Can this work with Expert Grill pellet grill?
I am sure they have one that will, you will just have to ask them.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ much respect for this video. I repaired my smoker today and I'm back up and running. Thanks.
It looks like the same type of ignitor as i have on my gas oven. I would be really concerned with it being to fragile to hold up long term.
This one is still running and hasn't had any issues. Thanks for watching!!!
