Qfire D2 Hot Rod Igniter & 9-Hole Firepot Combo for Traeger Pro 575 / Ironwood 650 — Direct-Fit Replacement, Faster Ignition

Qfire's replacement combo supplies a D2 hot rod igniter and a nine-hole firepot designed to restore consistent ignition and combustion for compatible Traeger D2 wood pellet grills.

If your Traeger Pro 575, Pro 780, Ironwood 650/885, or other listed D2 models are struggling to light pellets or maintain a steady burn, replacing the worn hot rod and firepot is a common, cost-effective fix. This Qfire kit follows the original kit0383 footprint and hardware layout so you can quickly swap parts and get back to dependable grilling and smoking without a lengthy service visit.

• Direct-fit D2 hot rod igniter matching OEM mounting
• Nine-hole firepot optimizes airflow and ash clearance
• Restores fast, repeatable ignition cycles
• Reduces cold-start misfires and long heat-up times

• Less ash buildup and improved pellet combustion efficiency
• Longer-lasting reliable operation between service intervals
