Install Instructions For Pit Boss Pellet Grill Igniter Hot Rod & Burn Pot Kit
The igniter is located and the end of the pellet burner assembly and is fastened into the burnpot/ fire pot using a set screw. Depending upon your specific model, the process to access this part and replace it may vary slightly from model to model.
Unplug the grill from the power source
Empty any pellets you may have in the hopper
Remove the access panel on the bottom of the hopper if your model has one.
Remove the side screws from the hopper shell and separate the hopper from the burner assembly. You do not need to unplug every wire connection.
Most, if not all models will have the igniter plugged into a purple wire on the controller's main harness. The igniter wire will be the ONLY braided wire connected to the controller (not a plastic coating). Remove the braided wire connection at the Molex disconnect.
Remove all of the cooking grids, drip pan, and baffle from the grill.
Remove the 4 burnpot screws and then wiggle the burnpot free from the burner.
Remove the rubber grommet from the burner assembly where the igniter wires enter into the burner from the hopper side and feed the wires into the burner until the molex connection is in the burner. Remove the burnpot. The igniter wires will pull out through the burner. Now you can loosen the igniter set screw and replace the igniter.
When installing the new igniter, 3/8" to 1/2" of the igniter tip should be visible in the burnpot. Now tighten the set screw.
Set the burnpot into the grill and feed the igniter wires into the burner until the Molex is seen at the passthrough hole and then pull it through. Slip on the ribber grommet and plug the new igniter into the harness.
Pull the slack from the wires as you fit the burnpot into the burner assembly.
Replace the four burnpot screws.
Take up the slack of the burnpot wires and zip tie if needed.
Fit the grommet into the wire hole.
Reposition the hopper back on the burner and secure it with the mounting screws
Replace the hopper bottom access panel if you have one.
Plug in your grill and enjoy.
