I've been using a long lighter to light my Q, but after refurbing mine, it vexes me that the igniter does not work. Earlier this season, I saw corrosion on the battery contacts and cleaned them with a Q-tip and vinegar and it worked again. For about a month. I've seen off-brand igniters, but they don't rate highly.
Has anyone done a "deep clean" on a Q igniter, or should I just bite the bullet and get one off amazon? Mine is an Ace Q2200 with the silver ignitor button with the black lightning bolt on it. I'd like to know if more contact cleaning might be an easy fix or if I should just get a new one.
