Any new Piezo Kits that are ordered from January 2023 onwards will be a straight swap into these newer BBQs. Current Style (2021- Present)Īround the start of 2021 we began using a simplified Piezo and burner system that does not require the circlips, spring and washers on the electrodes. The electrodes are also slightly different in size now. In this guide we'll explain what steps to take to get your BBQ up and running again with a new ignition system, no matter how old. There are a couple types of Heatlie BBQ burner set ups, and replacing the Piezo system is different for both. This is usually an easy job for you to do at home and won't require a professional or a gas fitter, depending on the situation. The burners are quite easy to remove and reinstall.The piezo ignition system is the one of the more common spare parts that needs replacing as a BBQ gets on in age. We recommend only using a venturi tube cleaner to clean these out. Occasionally, insects can crawl inside the venturi tube of the burners and block the flow of fuel into the burner tube itself. A spark without ignition can also mean there is a problem within the burners. If you’re getting a spark but no ignition check to see if the electrodes are misaligned, if they aren’t positioned above, or beside the burner properly, they will not ignite with the fuel. Now for the unfun and most confusing method. The fix for this is as simple as drying the wet components or opening a beer and waiting it out. ![]() Additionally, if you’re not getting any spark, the issue could be humidity or a wet barbecue. Luckily, barbecue ignitors are made to be easy to remove and install, so if any wires are damaged it is quite easy to replace them. Since we’ve already taken some pieces out of the barbecue in diagnosing the earlier components, everything should be visible. If any are loose or look like they are damaged, swap them out. So, starting at the ignitor or ignitor button, to the module (if applicable), to the electrode, follow those wires. Still no click? There’s one more place to check, and this involves following the chain of command. With that being said, I think you would have to engage in quite a lot of, and quite a sudden amount of, mechanical excitation to ignite your barbecue with your bones, so we’ll file that one under “fun facts” for now. When mechanical stress or pressure (like pushing the button of your barbecue ignitor) is applied to that material, an electrical spark is generated, this is called piezoelectricity and it is also produced within the bones of our bodies when we apply mechanical stress or excitation to our bodies.
