    BBQ Repair

    Hi, I'm trying to find out if anyone knows of a bbq repair person in Calgary Alberta Canada. I have a Vermont Casting natural gas bbq and after many years of satisfactory service, the electronic lighter is conking out. Now as 'Winter is Coming' I'd much prefer to press the ignitor button to start it up, rather than standing out in the cold and snow with a lighter hoping to ignite it manually. Thanks and cheers, Robb

    Have yo located the replacement part online? Maybe you could replace it yourself?

        I just looked on Amazon and they have Vermont a Castings Ignitor assembly, ignitor wires, (in various lengths), and ignitor lighter buttons. It should be easy to pull out and replace the items for about $50 US. You can probably find videos on youtube to show you how.

        Or call Vermont Castings customer service and they can probably sell you the parts and tell you how to install them. It should only require a screwdriver and maybe pliers.

          Vermont castings no longer makes BBQ grills.

          Call 888-427-3973 for parts.

            If you get the parts and ask your local auto mechanic I would bet they would be happy to help.

              Thanks, as I'm not exactly the handyman type, the picking up parts from Amazon or VC wasn't my first choice; however I do like the idea of talking to my mechanic; might have to bribe him with a reverse sear tri tip! If all else fails, maybe I will take it on myself, then I'll likely be looking for a new bbq! LOL! robb

                Hello fellow Calgarian, I'm not sure where to get that part but agree with your bribery strategy.
