Easy Fix for My Side Burner

My old igniter was giving out, and this Ruby-IMP-IGNITER was a perfect replacement. Installation was straightforward, took me about 15 minutes. Now my side burner lights up on the first try every time, which is a huge improvement for my outdoor cooking.

Works Like a Charm, Every Time

This impulse igniter is exactly what I needed for my Sunstone Ruby burner. It sparks consistently and reliably, making lighting my side burner a breeze. No more fiddling around with lighters, which is a big win for convenience.

Decent Replacement, But Pricey

The Ruby-IMP-IGNITER does the job and gets my side burner going, but for a small part, I felt the $25 price tag was a bit steep. It works as advertised, but I wish it felt a little more robust for the cost.

Elijah T.★★★★☆December 22, 2021
