Pellet stove igniter, 4-inch

Technical details

When a pellet stove stops lighting reliably, replacing the igniter can be a more targeted repair than looking for a broader replacement part. This two-pack contains 4-inch hot-rod igniters listed for several Breckwell stove models, as well as selected Austroflamm and US Stove Company units. Each is specified at 120 volts and 300 watts, with operating temperatures stated up to 1,200°F. The listing also describes an anti-seize thread and an element designed to be installed and removed easily, though the actual fit still depends on the stove and part number.

The wiring uses fibreglass insulation for high-temperature applications and nickel wire. Heat-shrink tubing rated to 840°F / 450°C is used at the solder joints to help prevent breakage. Those construction details may matter in a hot stove environment, but they are not a substitute for confirming that the replacement matches the original igniter’s dimensions and electrical requirements.

Practical compatibility

The listing identifies the igniter as a replacement for Breckwell part C-E-IGN, USSC 80607 and Austroflamm 109058. Named Breckwell models include the P20 Cadet, P2000 Tahoe, P2000I Tahoe Insert, P22 Maverick, P23 Sonora, P23I Sonora Insert, P24 Blazer, P24I Blazer Insert, P26 Cadet, P27, P32I Cadet, P4000 Classic Cast, P7000 Solstice, SP1000 Big E and SP1002 Big E II. It also names the Austroflamm Integra and Wega, plus the US Stove Company Golden Eagle.

One model-specific restriction is important: the SP6000 Heartland Multifuel fit is listed only for units manufactured before 2013. Although the description makes a broad compatibility claim for Breckwell stoves from 1998 onward, treat the model and replacement-part references as the useful checks rather than assuming every stove in a product family uses the same igniter. Compared with choosing a generic hot rod based only on appearance, matching the part number and stove model is the more dependable approach.

Usage tips

Before ordering, compare the existing part number and the stove’s model identification with the details above. If you are replacing an igniter during a repair, keeping the second unit from the two-pack as a spare may save another parts search later. For example, if a stove fails to light during a cold start, the igniter is a relevant component to investigate, this listing alone does not establish that the igniter is the cause, so it should not be treated as a diagnosis.

Installation is described as easy, but work on a stove should follow the appliance’s own service instructions. The listing does not provide installation steps or confirm whether additional parts are needed. Its stated electrical rating is 120 volts and 300 watts, so check that against the original component before fitting it.

Before you decide

Which replacement numbers are listed? C-E-IGN for Breckwell, 80607 for USSC and 109058 for Austroflamm.

Does it fit every SP6000 Heartland Multifuel? No. The stated fit is for models manufactured before 2013.

What comes in the pack? Two igniters are specified, each described as a 4-inch cartridge.

Before buying

It’s a good option if your stove is among the listed models and its existing igniter matches one of the replacement numbers and the stated 120-volt, 300-watt rating. The two-pack is also useful if you want a spare on hand rather than sourcing another element after the next repair. It may not be a fit if you cannot confirm the model, part number or electrical match, a similar-looking element is not enough to establish compatibility. The listing gives several fit references, but does not spell out installation steps or identify every possible stove variant, so verify the exact unit before choosing this replacement.
