Well when I installed my new igniter it took about two minutes to start a fire.
It now takes about 9 minutes.
What is wrong with my heating system?

Does your stove use a hot rod igniter?
I think he (Don) has another one....?!?!?! !!Did you put your stove in Don's shed?
Did you put your stove in Don's shed?
Nope no CSS (cold start syndrome) that I'm aware of.
Likely he buys fixes up and resells them when not working on his shed or house.

Feeling the Heat
Sounds like you you started it with a propane torch (2 min), then when you ran out of propane you used a match (9 min). ha ha

Now folks you appear to be lacking in the area of pressing the issue at hand, the stove was getting more ash in the works as time went on. I responded to the dirty stove answer (which was correct) with the stock response one gets while trying to help folks on here. I was looking for some push back and suggestions about places one might overlook while doing their normal cleanings.
The area that was piling up was at the top of the drop into the ash trap on each side of the heat exchanger. I hadn't used the leaf blower for some time.

I questioned your cleaning schedule back in post 6. You ignored me.
Also suggested a dirty stove in post 4.
