![]() ![]() If any are loose or look like they are damaged, swap them out. So, starting at the ignitor or ignitor button, to the module (if applicable), to the electrode, follow those wires. Still no click? There’s one more place to check, and this involves following the chain of command. With that being said, I think you would have to engage in quite a lot of, and quite a sudden amount of, mechanical excitation to ignite your barbecue with your bones, so we’ll file that one under “fun facts” for now. When mechanical stress or pressure (like pushing the button of your barbecue ignitor) is applied to that material, an electrical spark is generated, this is called piezoelectricity and it is also produced within the bones of our bodies when we apply mechanical stress or excitation to our bodies. A piezoelectric ignitor contains a material that possesses a natural electrical charge, typically a crystal.Other than the initial medium of electrical generation, as we saw before, the process of actually igniting the burners is relatively identical and when troubleshooting we will follow largely the same process for both ignition systems. A battery-powered ignitor uses a battery to create an electrical spark, no interesting physics tidbits there unfortunately. ![]() If your ignitor has a battery then it’s battery-powered, and if it doesn’t then it’s a piezo ignitor. There are two primary kinds of ignitors in barbecues: battery-powered and piezo ignitors. To get from the ignitor itself to the burner, the electrical charge must first travel through a wire to the electrode and then to a gas collector box, where the spark is mingled with captured gas to aid in ignition. Firstly, it might sound obvious, but the ignitor is where an electrical spark is created that ignites the mixture of air and gas flowing through the burner of the barbecue. While you’re enjoying your meal, I’ll cover some general information about the ignition system of a gas barbecue so that you can isolate the various components for troubleshooting later. ![]()
