 Calendar Event: Cook top for 2016 171Posted: 17 Jun 2025 at 5:07pm |

Good day! I am looking to replace the two burner cook top in my 2016 171 and wonder if anyone has any suggestions for a good quality one that will drop in or otherwise install without too much trouble. Thanks for any input!

Look on Amazon. You may find a duplicate of the one that is in there now.

I was kind of hoping for an upgrade, at least a piezo igniter. My old one still works, but it's old now and has seen a lot of use and bouncing around!

What about this one?
It looks like it would fit and has piezoelectric ignition.

We added a piezo igniter to the one that was in our RP179.

Care to share how you did that? Where the parts came from? etc?

You can find them in any place that sells barbecue grill parts such as Home Depot, Lowes, or possibly even Walmart. The tricky part is making a bracket to hold the electrode end of the wire. It needs to be close to the burner, but not touching. The Piezoelectric button can be installed in a convenient spot, such as the cabinet face below the stove.
Edit: You will want to purchase one that has two wires and electrodes, one for each burner. Edited by StephenH - 17 Jul 2025 at 8:59pm |

Exactly what I did. I got one from HD or maybe Amazon; I don't remember. It was relatively inexpensive. I put the push button on the cabinet in front of the cooktop, and the electrodes up close to each burner. It took me maybe about an hour to do the whole operation.
