What to do if your heating rod is not working on your Pit Boss Pellet Smoker but you still want to smoked some food....it's actually kind of easy, just make sure not to burn yourself putting the heat shield back on......Sorry about the BAD Viagra jokes...just trying to make fun in a not great situation.

Thanks for this video! Having hungry family type people over to the new house, having promised them some pork shoulder, and my igniter crapped out. Never thought to kick start it manually. Saved my bacon!

Excellent! Easy fix to get your pellet smoker smoking. Had my meat ready and no flame. That sucks! Got my flame thrower out and bam! Smoke... You saved my ass today (July 4th) Thanks! Igniter rod ordered.

Great video! Where do find the lighter gun? My pitboss isn't feeding pellets when turned on smoke startup. Will this viagra process help this by getting the fire going then the pellets will start flowing? Ty

Also if it's not feeding pellets this will not help....sound like the might be a problem with your auger or the auger motor.

My regret as of late is dropping $1100 on the Pitboss 1600 Pro Series to have the igniter go out after 7 cooks.....WTF.....I should have gotten the Kamado Joe like I started to...but nooo listening to coworkers got me working on it like it's a Ford Taurus

Kinda why I jut went in a different direction with the Char-Griller 980, but as with any electrical devices, it's bound to break at some point.

Mine doesn’t fired up. So I’ll try your idea. I can hear it but it just won’t ignite. So I’ll let you know if your idea works on mine. Any idea why it won’t ignite

As long as you get the pellets on fire, the air from the fans will keep it going.

I have had to replace my Igniter Probe 4 times and have only had my Pitt Boss for 1 & 1/2 yrs. Out of Warranty now, so its on me. I would never buy another Pitt Boss for this reason.

@BUMMERSBARBQ 4 жыл бұрын

I have only had one.....and in the end it was actually the control board had an open circuit.....might want to clean it out good, plug it in and do not run it on and see if the igniter rod starts to glowing bright red....that what my issue was over all.....if the board has an open circuit and you have it plugged it, the igniter rod is always heating up and will burn it out super fast, because it never turns off like it's suppose to. I have video showing that exactly.

Replaced fuse, and igniter wasn't turning red. got a new one, ran 1 smoke and it blew fuse on me within an hour. now igniter isn't working again. Is this a control board issue you think? i have had bad luck contacting customer service.

The main control board had a short and was always keeping the igniter on the entire time. It's suppose to just turn on until it starts and then turn off, this one was staying on the entire time.

Not sure what you mean the heat gin? If your talking about the lighter it's just a basic propane lighter from Lowes to use for things like water pipe soldering.......
