Special Features of Brinkmann Grill Ignitors

Brinkmann Grills feature a push-button ignitor, which is powered by either universal batteries or electric volts. When lighting the main burner, the user should press the ignitor button four to five times. If the grill doesn't turn on, turn off the control knob and wait five minutes before attempting again.

Customer Experiences

In 2005, Brinkmann voluntarily recalled about 130,000 Brinkmann- and Charmglow-brand Gas Grills by Brinkmann. The problem was a faulty regulator, which could potentially cause a propane gas leak. Two customers experienced such incidents, although no one experienced any injury.

Safety Features

Brinkmann warns that if gas can be smelled at any time during operation, the following steps should be taken. First, the gas should be shut off. Second, any open flame should be extinguished. Third, the lid should be opened. If, after a period of time, the gas odor lingers, the user should contact the fire department. If the grill doesn't properly light, the problem may be that either the ignitor's AA batteries need to be replaced or the ignition wires are loose.

Brinkmann's Warranty

Brinkmann offers a one-year limited warranty against defects and damages, but it doesn't cover normal wear and tear. The electric ignitor has a two-year warranty. The stainless steel components carry a lifetime warranty. Receipts are required prior to warranty redemption.
