A single battery controlled ignitor module can manage up to eight individual electrodes so that only one button needs to be installed to control all the electrode igniters inside the gas grill.
Several clients with these models that will continue repairing the grills for long term cooking have asked us about replacing the old piezo mechanical ignition module with battery controlled modules. In barbecues like older DCS models, Lynx, Lazyman another high end barbecues that were manufactured in America of top-quality materials will continue to function well into their second and third decade. The most common piezo modules are the single-spark push button spark generators but the rotary modules that click several times as the knob is turned are also very common. Many of the older barbecue grill models had piezo modules which are mechanical spark generators. This video is very quick, showing how to remove the old igniters, drill the proper size in the proper place in the control panel and how to reinstall the battery operated ignitor module through the barbecue control panel. In the following short video we removed and replaced a push button ignition module in a DCS 48 A-model and a rotary ignition spark generator in a DCS 27 B model and in an old BGB-132 side burner.
