Stainless Steel Fire Burn Pot and Hot Rod Ignitor Kit

Key Features

  • Kit Includes: 1 fire burn pot, 1 hot rod ignitor, 1 fuse, and 1 set of installation screws.
  • Fire Pot Material: Constructed from heavy-gauge 304 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Burn Pot Design: Features 7 large air holes for improved airflow and efficient pellet combustion.
  • Ignitor Specifications: High-density cartridge heating element for reliable ignition.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

This kit serves as a direct replacement for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fire pot and hot rod ignitor assembly on compatible grill models.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Fits most Traeger wood pellet grill models (excluding PTG series).
  • Fits most Pit Boss wood pellet grill models.
  • Fits select Z Grills models.
  • Note: Verify the dimensions of your existing fire pot and ignitor before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

When to Replace

  • The fire burn pot is rusted through, warped, or has deteriorated air holes, leading to inefficient burning.
  • The existing hot rod ignitor fails to heat up, glows dimly, or causes the grill's fuse to blow.
  • The grill experiences frequent startup failures or inconsistent pellet ignition.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect the grill from its power source before beginning any repair work.
  • Remove all internal components such as grates, the drip pan, and heat baffle to access the fire pot.
  • Clean any ash and debris from the grill body and auger tube before installing the new parts.
  • Ensure the new hot rod extends approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the fire pot for optimal performance.
  • Confirm all wire connections are secure before reassembling the grill.
4 SIMPLE STEPS

4 SIMPLE STEPS

1. Remove the screws from the old burn pot; 2. Rotate the burn pot 45° so the corners point outward (not parallel to the auger); 3. Lift the outward flang (away from the auger) of the burn pot to pull the part up and out from the auger tube; 4. Reinstall with our new parts! (For best performance, only 1/8-1/4 inches of the Hot Rod should be showing in the firepot)

FAQ

The burn pot is the chamber where pellets collect and ignite, and the hot rod ignitor is the electric element that starts the fire during the startup cycle. These two parts work together to light the pellets and establish steady combustion for heating and cooking.
Common signs include the grill failing to ignite, pellets feeding into the pot without catching fire, repeated startup errors, excessive ash buildup from a damaged pot, or a burn pot that is warped, cracked, or rusted through. If the fan runs and pellets feed normally but there is no ignition, the hot rod is a common suspect.
Not necessarily. Burn pots and ignitors vary by grill design, mounting style, wiring connection, and overall dimensions. Match the shape of the burn pot, the ignitor mounting arrangement, wire length, and connector style to your original parts before ordering.
Installation is typically a moderate repair for most pellet grills. Common tools include a screwdriver set, nut driver or socket set, pliers, and possibly an Allen key depending on the grill model. Many replacements can be completed in about 30 to 60 minutes. Always unplug the grill and allow it to cool completely before starting.
Clean out all ash and unburned pellets from the firebox, inspect the hopper and auger for pellet jams, and check that the combustion fan is operating properly. Also inspect the ignitor wires for heat damage and confirm the controller is sending power during startup. Replacing the ignitor alone may not solve ignition problems if airflow or pellet feed is also restricted.
Burn pots commonly fail from long-term heat cycling, corrosion, ash accumulation, and blocked air holes that cause uneven burning. Hot rod ignitors wear out over time from repeated heating cycles, moisture exposure, or electrical damage. Poor pellet quality and infrequent cleaning can shorten the life of both parts.
Yes. The ignitor usually needs to be positioned so its tip sits correctly in or near the burn pot ignition area without protruding too far. If it is set too deep or too shallow, startup can be unreliable. Route the wires away from hot surfaces and moving parts, and secure them the same way as the original installation.
