What Is the Firepot & Ignitor Assembly?
The Firepot & Ignitor Assembly is the part of your grill that starts the fire. It includes the components that heat pellets, detect flame, and help your grill ignite safely. During startup, the ignitor (hot rod) heats up and lights the pellets inside the firepot. The flame sensor confirms ignition, while the assembly housing and wiring provide safe power flow.
