Hi - I was just in cleaning out my 24 year old Silver B and see that the igniter housing is getting pretty rusted and flaking again.

I looked back in my emails and it was 2015 that I got the following from Home Depot

www.homedepot.com

Weber Replacement Igniter Kit for Genesis 1000-5500/Gold/Silver/Platinum, Platinum I/II, & Spirit 300/500/700 Gas Grill 7509 - The Home Depot

Foolproof grill start-ups are a breeze with this Weber replacement part igniter kit for Weber gas grills. This surefire mechanism sparks the firebox on Genesis Silver & Gold (pre-2002), Genesis 1000-5500,
www.homedepot.com

Of course back then it was $10.99 and now it is $18.99. Inflation!

Anyone have a sense if there are other "better" options or should I just find whatever best deal I can for one of these Weber OEM ones and go with that?
 
EDIT - so I posted first before going to Amazon. Seems there are a lot of aftermarket ones like this, at $9 or $10 each. Anyone know if they're equally good? I think last time I just reused the "piezo button" I originally had and then just installed the new spark wire and box into the grillbox

If the ignitor still works, you can make a wind shield with heavy duty aluminum foil and it will last a few years. Just shape the foil like the original metal box.

Heck, they usually still work fine even after the collector box is rotted out anyway.
