Igniters & Specialty Electrical

Iron Strike pellet stove models will have an igniter located in the base of the burnpot for auto-ignition. The igniter receives a charge from the control board during the start-up cycle allowing the element to get cherry hot. The combustion air rushing past the igniter becomes 'super-heated' creating ignition to the pellets in the burnpot. The Iron Strike Bella Cast will use igniter assembly H7637, Winslow models will use igniter H6005, the Montage 32FS will use igniter assembly H7053, and the Cascade and Montage 32FS can also use the threaded igniter element H8127 by utilizing the existing igniter housing (Montage 32FS model).

When you are experiencing an ignition issue check the simple things first.

• Igniter fuse – continuity test
• Ash build-up in the stove/vent – thoroughly clean
• Door and ashpan gasket sealing tight – inspect and test
• Burnpot/Firepot – cleaned and seated properly
• Combustion blower operating correctly – inspect and test

Keep in mind, it's the super heated air that passes by the igniter that is creating ignition. If we have any issues with air loss or air blockage we will have ignition issues. You can check your igniter ohms with a basic multi-meter to determine if it is in proper range.

When it comes time to replace your Iron Strike igniter element, make sure your stove is unplugged from the wall, have a good light source, and have the right tools handy. General guide video below on replacing a rear mount ignition element.
