Weber Igniter Kit, Black-v181

Installed in minutes. Flawless operation.

Very easy to install and works great. A nice simple way to bring an older grill back to life.

Your first clue you need this part is that your igniter becomes unreliable under humid conditions. It may work on dry sunny days but not on a rainy day. It is also a given that this item wears out in several years. After all, it is essentially an spark generator exposed to its enemies: grease, heat, and unlimited outdoor humidity. Consider this a wear item that is very reliable and inexpensive during its lifetime.In brief, very high quality for a reasonable price ($10) and it only takes a few minutes to replace. The only tool you will want to complete the installation is a screwdriver or pliers to remove and reinstall the tab which holds the ignition chamber in position.I bought two because I know in two or three summers the grill will be hard to start again and I'll have one conveniently available.Go Weber!

I have a Weber Spirit E-210 grill, and this ignitor is not the correct one! There is some very ambiguous information on the internet regarding which ignitor I needed; the one with the black button or the one with the red. I made an informed decision and went with the one with the black button. It is too big to fit in the slot it is supposed to fit in! That's okay, I really just needed the fire catcher box that came with this, so I installed that and re-used my old ignitor. It works great, so for $10 I'm happy. I just wanted to get it out there that if you have a Weber Spirit E-210 grill, order the ignitor with the red button, not the black one!

Perfect complete item, as describedGood fit for pre 2002 Weber Genesis

This igniter kit fits my Spirit 500 LX from 1999. It works perfectly. Not much else I can say.

I tried to grill something the other day and the igniter on my Weber Genesis Silver B wasn't working any more. I had to use one of those gas lighter wands to get the grill going, which is irritating to say the least. So I ordered this igniter kit, and just put it in, and now everything is back to normal with the grill lighting on the first try.I feel like I just did this recently! Wrong! The last igniter kit I put in was in 2009, and 2005 before that. The grill was bought in 2001. I'm starting to see a pattern here. Every 4 years, I need a new igniter. Good thing they're only about 10 bucks.It takes about 10 minutes to put one in on a Genesis Silver B. You will need a phillips head screwdriver, and a small adjustable wrench. Once I started to install mine, I realized the grill needed to be cleaned, so I actually spent 30 minutes, but the grill is now ready to go when it is called upon.Weber's philosophy is to make a grill that will last you a lifetime, as long as you're willing to replace a few parts now and then. In the 12 years I've owned the grill I have replaced the grates a few times, the burner assembly once, the drip guards a few times, and it looks like 3 igniters now. The rest of the grill is still solid as a rock. Love my Weber grill!

I picked up an older Weber Summit 450, made sometime between 1997 and 2001 by my estimate (serial # is long gone from the sticker, so I'm going by photos in old owner's manuals found online). The grill has held up pretty well over the last 20ish years but the crossover burner tubes and the igniters were completely shot and needed to be replaced. Weber usually stands behind their products and sells replacement parts, but since the Summits from this time period never sold nearly as well as the cheaper Genesis and Spirit grills, information and parts are a little more scarce.I had to take a bit of a gamble on these igniters because while some sources claimed they would fit, the Weber literature would not come out and say so.But the good news is they do fit perfectly, without modification. And the quality is very good, as expected for a Weber product. Good installation instructions too. I hope to get 10-20 years out of these.Incidentally I found the crossover burner tubes too... under 20 bucks for those, so all told I spent less than $50 to restore two decades' worth of wear and tear on this well-built grill. Gotta love Weber!
