The rubber ignitor fell apart – what did I do wrong?
B-2: (2002_08_07) Probably nothing. A lot of people have reported this problem, and mine deteriorated also, even though I kept it under cover. I think they must have had a bad supplier, since this is a common problem, but I chatted with Member’s Mark customer service and a new one was on my grill in a few days! 😉 BTW, one suggestion is to periodically Armor-All this (makes sense, since it is rubber) … or better yet, remove it and SOAK it in Armor All for a couple of hours which is what I did.
