Gas Regulator

Light your gas barbecue grill every time the first time
I am a gas grill technician and your barbeque ignitor is fine. Although we only sell American made grills with available replacement parts and reliable warranties, we provide technical service and cleanings for any barbecue. Whether a grilling customer has a great grill or a cheap import, one thing I frequently is: the igniter on the barbeque grill stopped working within the first year. Sometimes the first year was ten years ago!! While the perception of a customer is always true, the statement is generally not true.Ignition systems generally work reliably for many years but may need replacement grill parts inside the firebox of the barbeque.
Of course, you could point out the obvious confusion in that statement which is that if the grill stopped igniting, what does it matter if you say the igniter is not broken?! If it does not ignite the grill, it is not working. I have been shocked by ignition modules off grills when the owner claimed the ignitor hadn't worked in ten years.
A Gas Grill Igniter Is Made Up Of Several Parts.
A gas barbeque grill ignition system consists of several replaceable parts. The module, the electrode wire and the electrode are the primary parts although sometimes the module will be split into a spark generator, a connection switch (button) and a power source (battery). The spark that ignites your gas grill is produced at the electrode but created in the module. The electrode is usually the culprit when you cannot light your grill.
An electric current is created in the module, referred to as a spark generator because it generates the spark that gets sent out to light your gas grill. Many older gas barbeque grills used a piezo electric module. These modules used a tension-spring in a push-button to create a spark. However, most gas grills today use a battery-powered module. Newer battery module grill igniters distribute electricity from a battery to the electrode. An electrode wire connecting the ignition to the module delivers the spark to light your gas grill. An electrode looks like a piece of small steel rod in a porcelain housing. The electrode will consist of the steel rod in porcelain that receive the current and another piece of steel to spark against as a ground. The power from the battery ends as a spark at the tip of this steel rod. If the gas is on, this arc should ignite your gas grill burner.
Troubleshooting
If your gas grill will not ignite, there could be a few different reasons. Sometimes a barbeque grill will not light because of problems with the gas cylinder. To correct this issue read:Why wont my gas grill get hot? Also a typical gas regulator should last approximately five years. If you have been grilling on this gas BBQ for over five years, have a professional test your regulator. However, the most common problem we see is in the ignition system.
What is wrong with the BBQ Grill Ignitor?
As you cook on your gas barbeque grill, the heat trapped in the hood causes the food to sweat and grease drips into the grill. When most people clean the grill parts, they clean cooking grates, the outer hood, control panel and things they can see or have to touch. When the grease, pieces of food, rust, rain water, dust and dirt get in to the firebox the electrode gets too dirty to spark. When you wipe down the grill, wipe the electrodes gently without bending or cracking the porcelain.
Make the gas grill ignite.
As part of your maintenance, look for the electrode inside the firebox of your gas barbeque. When you find it, clean it gently and do not break the porcelain sleeve or it will have to be replaced. A stainless collector box may cover the electrode to protect the electrode from grease and weather and to protect the spark from too much wind. The arc may jump between dual electrode posts or from a single electrode post to either the collector box or the gas burner. When grease, rain, sauce, etc, drip onto and into the ignition collector box, the electrode has a problem finding steel to ground it and spark. The module, battery and switch are still functioning to send the spark to the gas but the failure is at the electrode. A dirty electrode will not spark.
Gas barbecue grill manufacturers make these products to be outside in the weather. Grill parts are manufactured to withstand harsh weather but like any other machine they will need some maintenance. When you clean your gas grill, simply knowing the parts of the igniter should give you the ability to ensure the electrode stays clean and your gas grill ignition will last much longer.
