Stanbroil Replacement Hot Rod Ignitor Kit for Traeger Wood Pellet Grills

2 Comments


KEEP YOUR GRILL GOING ALL YEAR LONG: 3″ high density cartridge heating element replacement. An identical match to the OEM hot stick. Compatible with all Traeger grills except for their PTG model. When your current hot rod shortens or burns out, this replacement part will ensure that your grill continues to operate effectively.

QUICK CONNECTING: 200 watt/120 volt, 24″ wire lead hot rod goes into the base of the firepot. Designed for a quick connection, once properly installed, reigniting your grill will be as simple as flipping a switch.

EASIEST WAY TO BBQ: A working hot rod does all the hard work for you — quickly lighting your wood and keeping the fire lit for quality grilling. Your grill simply won’t work without a functioning hot rod. Don’t settle for lighter fluid or propane torches that sacrifice the flavor quality of your grilled meats, smoked ribs, and other barbequed mainstays.

INSTALLATION TIP: Sometimes, the burnt out hot rod may be difficult to remove. Cutting off the end with a pair of diagonal pliers as swelling often occurs. Taping a wire onto the electrical connector before removal may also make the entire process go smoother. For best performance, only 1/8″ to ¼” of the wire should be visible once the replacement cartridge is in place.

  1. I am glad I did Bought this to replace a replacement hot rod that I had ordered from Traeger direct. That one didn’t last long (the Traeger hot rod) and kept tripping my GFI when setting to smoke. I’ve been forced to run an extension cord into my house the whole time until the rod finally died and I decided to give a third party replacement a shot. I am glad I did. Not only is the cost a lot cheaper, but it installed easy and no longer trips the outdoor GFI when starting up. Don’t think twice about ordering,…

  2. Works great for my Traeger, and includes a new fuse! Works great for my 2010 BBQ07E Traeger Smoker, and a new fuse is included. I watched an online how to replace video. and the replacement went smoothly. Not really all that difficult after the video instructions by Traeger. My old Hot Rod had a high resistance short to ground and was tripping my GFI as a result. I tried a non-GFI outlet and the Hot Rod failed. Failed Hot Rod tested with several hundred thousand ohms of resistance – burned out. The replacement has 72 ohms of resistance and…
