Easy fix for my side burner

My old igniter was going out and this was the right replacement. Install was straightforward, took about 15 minutes. Now my side burner lights on the first try every time, which is a big improvement.

Ross★★★★★June 7, 2025
Works every time

Exactly what I needed for my Ruby burner. Sparks every time so lighting the side burner is easy. No more messing with lighters.

Ricardo N.★★★☆☆June 27, 2012
Decent replacement, but pricey

Does the job and gets my side burner going, but for a small part the price felt a bit steep. Works like it should, I just wish it felt sturdier for the cost.

Elijah T.★★★★☆December 22, 2021
Reliable igniter

As a contractor I like parts that install easy and work. This igniter fits the bill. Solid part, the side burner in my client's outdoor kitchen fires up with no issues.

Dave P.★★★★★September 27, 2009
No more hassle lighting

Finally my side burner lights right away. Turn the knob, hear the click, get a flame. So satisfying. Recommend it if you have a Ruby burner.

Questions & answers

5 questions answered

Q
Any tips for keeping this igniter working right?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It needs very little. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth now and then to get rid of grease or debris. Don't use harsh chemical cleaners, they can damage the housing or the electronics. Keeping the connections secure and free of corrosion helps it light consistently.

Q
What's the igniter made of? Will it hold up to the weather?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It's made with weather resistant materials for outdoor use. The housing is usually tough plastic or composite that resists UV and moisture, and the parts inside are built to last. Covering your side burner when you're not using it will help it last even longer.

Q
How hard is it to install this igniter? Can I do it myself?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
Most homeowners can do it. You usually disconnect a couple of wires, unscrew the old igniter, then do the reverse with the new one. Turn off the gas supply and power to your side burner before you start, and follow the instructions that come with it.

Q
What's the warranty on this igniter? Am I out of luck if it quits after a few months?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
No. Coverage details are on our warranty page, and if it stops working, contact us with your order number and we'll help.

Q
Will this igniter work on my older Ruby side burner?Asked by Sunstone Support Team
A
It generally fits most Ruby side burner models, older ones included. It uses a standard connection, so if your current igniter is a Ruby, this is very likely a direct replacement. If you're not sure, check your side burner's model number against the igniter specs or look in your original manual.
