Firestick quit
Well the flame went out early this morning. Seems the fire starter isn't working. Auger was working so I pulled everything out, dumped the ash cup, put in a handful of pellets. and lit them with my handy dandy torch. Everything back on track now. Probably going to dry out the brisket... we'll see. I guess Monday I will call Camp Chef again and see if I am entitled to a new firestick. Bet that's going to be a wench to change out.

Re: Firestick quit
If they aren't good to you with a replacement try to find one made in America.

Found this one from SmokeDaddys. Ordered it. Last time I tried to talk to Camp Chef I wasn't pleased.

Re: Firestick quit
I thought about not buying one after the torch Idea for starting the burn pot worked so good. If this one ever fails I may never buy another one.

Hmmmm, guess I'd better keep those "Manual Lighting Instructions" to my Pit Boss also, eh

Re: Firestick quit
You have to light the pot with everything turned off. Then bypass startup and it will work. First try the fan was blowing it out before I could get it lit..... I know Duh!

I'm hoping I never have to find out but at least I know where to find you if I need to

Re: Firestick quit
Looks like you found a good igniter.
The one in my original (USA made) Traeger is now 19 years old and still working........ Admittedly it don't get used as much anymore since I have other choices.

Re: Firestick quit
Got the new one installed. It was a little bit bigger around than the old one so I drilled the pipe it goes in out a little and it fit perfect. Funny thing the original one came out like this. Spliced wires. Very happy to have the made in USA one in.
