Ignitor replacement

[woodsman23]

I just ordered a replacement ignitor for my afton bay. The dam thing was 132.00 bucks!!. way out of hand, there must be somewhere where we can get these at a better price... I was just starting mine throughout winter with the lp torch which takes maybe 30 seconds but now that it is warm during the day and cold at night the stove runs on low and but 9am it is 85 in the house so i really need to have it in there this time of year.

Sure does look just like it. To vad i did not find this before ordering my new one. I like the lifetime one and i think i will order it just in case. Thanks for the info

Look up "Cartridge Heaters" online. Igniters are a repurposed HVAC part. $34.00-$80.00 in the Grainger Catalog, but you have to match it up properly. There was a thread going about this last week.

Tried to find the thread but I'm out of time, look around...gotta run!
