OCI Gas BBQ Parts Assembly That Make Up The Grill Ignition

The Outdoor Concepts ignition assembly is very similar to the DCS ignition with the same nine volt modules used on both grills. OCI has a better engineered design for the electrode placement that keeps the electrode (spark plug inside the barbecue) away from dripping grease. Inbetween each burner in the grill is a cross-over bracket that allows flames from one burner to jump across to the burners next to it just incase the electrode is not lighting the gas with the spark. The cross over continues up through stainless tubing to the top of the fire box next to the cooking grates so the chef can light the burners manually by using the cross over tubes that are much safer than using a lighter if the ignition is not functional.

OCI BBQ Grill Igniter

The OCI model BBQ grills have a nine volt battery ignitor module mounted at the bottom if the control panel. In this image note the rectangular opening at the bottom right side. This is where the battery is inserted. In the top left side are the 2 spades that the momentary button plugs on to so that the pressed switch causes the electroc to surge through the 4 spades in the center where the electrodes attach. The 4 or 6 flat male spades in the center of the module are for the electrodes to plug into. Usually we use a module with one extra spade than necessary so we have an extra ground wire. This generally strengthens the entire assembly. Each electrode will ground itself by being screwed to the stainless wall of the grill. However, just as crabon from the flames and grease, marinades and dirt can affect the ability of the electrode the same affects the grounded attachment to the front wall. An extra ground wire makes the ground unable to be weakened.

oci module ignition relacement instruction

Notice the Manual shows to push the battery into the opening in the module with no regard for where the positive and negative terminal end up

Althought this drawing from the OCI manual shows how the module is replaced by attaching the spark generator to the inside wall of the control panel the drawing also shows where the module is so customers know where to access the nine-volt battery...and change it!

Most customers who call for an OCI igniter repair have not changed the battery because it is not in an obvious location. Usually this is all it takes to repair the ignitor.
oci igniter electrode and bracket

The OCI electrode and collector box bracket is an interesting design that allows one electrode to light two burners and protects the electrode much better than most ignition designs. The heavy ignition bracket is a solid welded support with a cross-over tube. The electrode screws to the bracket so the steel tip ends inside the cross over tube. The tip of the electrode is protected by the bracket and the inside of the stainless tube provides a lot of surface space for the tip of the electrode to spark against. The cross-over design of the tube pulls gas from the burner to the right and to the left and the sparking at the center will ignite both burners.

This is an alternate electrode for OCI ignitor repair. This electrode was made to fit a Chinese imported barbecue that was very inexpensive. The bracket just happens to match-up with the OCI cross-over bracket. Like the original OCI electrode the tip of the electrode will need to be trimmed so the steel post terminates inside the cross over tube. The electrode wire that is attached to this electrode is 47 inches long from the steel bracket back to the plug.

Momentary switch is also know as the button that makes the igniter spark. The pyramid-shaped rubber button is a momentary switch and allows the module and send electrical charge to spark at the electrodes. This igniter button was designed for the Alfresco 9 volt assembly but is a great tool to replace the ignition button on dozems of barbecue models.

This is an alternative electrode we use to attach to the OCI cross over electrode. The electrode has a bracket with a nut and bolt that fits the OCI bracket. The tip will slide right into the cross over tube and will need to be clipped to size. We do not clip these to size before shipping because there have been some inconsistencies in the OCI brackets. Line it up on your bracket, mark it with a marker and then clip the tip to fit into the cross over tube. 47 inches.

This image shows all three cross over electrode brackets so we can see the difference in the size of the cross over tube. All three ignition brackets use the same electrode but the bracket of the 26 is 5 inches wide. The bracket in the OCI-30 is 4.5 inches wide and the bracket in the 36 and 48 inch models is 3.75 inches wide.

electrode and wire

Because it is easy to use, easy to install and a lot less expensive than the OCI version of the same thing we use this electrode when repairing OCI barbecues. The wire is plenty long at 47 inches and the steel tip is long enough to line it up to end inside the cross over tube and cut with wire cutters. The electrode wire is coated and heavy for optimal use outdoors. The electrode steel tip is trimmed so it is inside the cross-over ignitor bracket tube. This way the sparks radiate around the inner tube while gas is pulled into the cross over bracket from the left side and the right side burner. The electrode bracket mounts between the 2 burners in the OCI BBQ grill.

Ignition cross over bracket allows flames to jump back and forth between burners to help with ignition. The OCI electrode is mounted under this cross over bracket where it is hidden from sauces, marinades and grease that usually destroy barbecue igniters..
