My p35i needs a replacement igniter. What's the consensus these days on real OEM vs Aftermarket? Does it matter? What's the best to get these days?
 
I bought one for 18 dollars from Amazon prime that is my spare. It has a one year warrantee. Nothing against the one suggested above but I can buy 5 of them for the same price. I wouldn't be surprised if they're made by the same company. Five years ago the neighbor lady's stove blew an igniter. A new one was 100+ bucks. I found a number on the old one and ordered one from Granger for less than 20 bucks. It's still working.

I went with the pellet head 16 fin igniter on amazon, supposedly it's an upgrade over Harman OEM? It was only $20 and it seems to get good reviews so ill give it a whirl. I've owned the stove for 7 years since new and it's always been really slow to auto ignite when the stove is cold (usually between 8-10 minutes, lately it's been way longer) so hopefully it'll fix that as well.
