TPBQ Ignition Systems (Battery Powered)

TPBQ grills use a AAA battery-operated spark ignition system.

• TPBQ 30 grills without rotisserie: use a 2-spark generator (S16157Y)
• All other TPBQ grills: use a 4-spark generator (S16156Y)

Changing the Battery in TPBQ Grills

1. Unscrew the front cap on the face of the grill.
2. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new AAA battery.
3. Screw the cap back on securely.

Pro Tip: If you do not hear or see a spark after replacing the battery, try reversing the battery orientation.

TEBQ Ignition Systems (Electric)

TEBQ grills use an electrically powered hot surface ignition system rather than a battery-powered spark generator. Power is supplied by a transformer, and the electrodes are activated by microswitches on the gas valves to produce the glow from the hot surface igniter.

BBQ Depot Tech Tip: OEM electrodes use a thin, flat, rectangular tip that requires careful handling during installation. Verified exact-fit aftermarket electrodes use a thicker probe design that provides additional durability during install and electrode longevity.
