Key Features
- Heating element for igniting pellets
This glow plug is a replacement plug for Weber SmokeFire EX4 and EX6 - Gen 1 and Gen 2 - grills. These glow plugs have an element that heats up like a light bulb to ignite the wood pellets when starting up the grill. After start-up, the glow plug will turn off as the constant fire will help maintain the temperature.

I bought this little Weber grill for searing steaks and anything searing and fast. I own a Weber pellet grill for low and slow but this little baby is awesome for burgers, steaks, hotdogs and fast cooking and it works great! You can get a lot of accessories for them too! It's perfect size for me and my wife! Go get ya one!

I've had my EX4 for about a month and used it twice for 321 ribs (6 hours) and pork butt (16 hours). While I was on my third cook, 321 ribs again, it stopped working about 2 hours in. Is this something I should be worried about? I cleaned out the grill before every cook and went through the shutdown process every single time. How does something fail after less than 30 hours of use? I'm hoping this is not the norm. They're shipping me out a new glow plug but I had to jump through all the hoops of taking and sending them numerous pictures of the grill. It's just a hassle. Not Weber quality I was expecting. Very disappointed.

I love this SmokeFire EX4 when it performs like it should. It is hands down the best grill I have ever owned. I hate it when it doesn't perform and it's always the glow plug. I replace it and it lasts for several cooks then stops working and requires cleaning of the electrical contact area in bracket/glow plug or replacing. This last time the insulated portion of the glow plug bracket has deteriorated and also needs replacing. During shutdown it smoked so badly I had to unplug it. At least redesign it so it's more durable.

Glow plug came on time and was easy to install. I ordered 2 so I have a back up in the future.

We still don't know how to fix it. It still will not work and we are about to throw in trash. Someone on the list said check battery but don't have a clue where battery is. Please Help

The cheaply made glo plug holder is as much to blame .Cure is to make a clamp out of .030 308 stainless wire and fasten it to grounding strip with dimple in it to prevent it from disengaging from glo plug. Grill will work fine then.

Replaced 2 in the last 3 months. Not the quality I've come to expect from Weber products over the years.

I have had to replace this about every 10 months. The last one snapped in two when I was removing it.
I love my Webber smokefire but I have resigned myself to the fact that I have to keep a replacement glow plug available st all times. Very annoying but I have to continually order new glow plugs to be sure to have one when the current one goes out, which it will...Wish it wasn't so but every time I grill for a long period of time on my smoke fire , undoubtedly the glow plug will expire. But I love my smoke fire so I make sure the glow plug is working (and that I have a spare one) every time I use it, I guess its a small price to pay for a great smoker!

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
