First ignitor just burned out last week after almost 2 full seasons of burning. I was 2 months away from the end of the warranty period. Also getting the new pot under warranty, since the ignitor went.

2nd ignitor just went after only 2 weeks of use.It didn't burn through this time just not working. I installed a spare I had and that worked, so something is wrong with the one they just gave me. Going back tomorrow to get another replacement. I believe that replacement parts are guaranteed for 90 days after purchase, at least I hope so!

burned out my first igniter after about 3 seasons of use. Burned wood pellets only. I replaced the igniter and upgraded the firepot and the ignition times were GREATLY reduced. Pellets were burning before the initial drop during start up was complete.

I normally run my stove at the ML heat setting so that its runs 3-4 hours before doing a clean.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Igniter burned out? We've went through so many in the last four years I've lost count. In fact, I order them two at a time. As for the new fire pot fixing the problem....that one has lasted since the beginning of the season and just went out about a week ago.

Had CB 1200 since July 1997. Replaced ignitor in December 2004, replaced control box and thermocouple January 2011. Replaced control box several years ago but don't have date.

Looks like I should have picked up ignitor when I got other parts. But it looks like I'm getting pretty good life out of mine compared to others.

I have seen a control board burnt out due to the igniter (heating element think 500 watt) shorting on a pellet grill. I would guess that ash cakes on the heater and over heated that igniter. I would guess that cleaning that heater often will extend it's life.
