Special Features

Vermont Castings grills feature Signature Sear Plates, which, according to the company, "are optimally designed for heat distribution across the entire cooking surface." Its patented back-lit dials glow orange and make it easier to cook in the evenings and at night in low-light conditions. The LED Flex Light also permits the user to see the entire cooking surface, even in low light. Various models include an integrated smoker box, side burner and rotisserie burner, marinating tray, and/or the Vermont Castings Never-Fail Ignition System.

Troubleshooting Your Vermont Castings Grill Ignitor

If the ignitor doesn't spark, check the following potential causes and maintenance required:

• Electrode is dirty: Wipe the electrode with a soft cloth.
• Electrode is improperly gapped: Make sure the electrode is located one-eighth to three-sixteenth inches from the burner and well-positioned to spark to the edge of the gas port.
• No clicking from the ignitor module: Confirm that all leads are well-seated in the ignitor module.
• Wires are disconnected: Replace the ignitor module.
• Electrode is cracked: Replace the electrode.
• Wires melted: Replace the wires.
• Battery dead or wrongly installed: Replace the battery and ensure that the positive end of the battery is facing down.
