Product Description
The TRAEGER PELLET GRILLS LLC BAC432 is a replacement hot rod igniter designed for pellet-fueled grills. The hot rod sits at the bottom of the fire pot and generates the heat needed to ignite wood pellets during startup. When the grill controller calls for ignition, the rod heats up and initiates combustion, allowing the auger-fed pellet system to sustain a consistent flame. This part is a direct OEM-style replacement for worn or failed igniters and is installed by grill technicians or knowledgeable service personnel. Weighing 5.76 pounds as packaged, it ships as a single unit.
This igniter is suited for residential pellet grill applications where the original hot rod has failed to light pellets reliably or has burned out entirely. A failed hot rod typically results in the grill fan running and auger feeding pellets without achieving ignition. Replacing the hot rod restores normal startup function. It is positioned within the fire pot assembly and interfaces directly with the grill’s control board ignition cycle.

Installation Notes
