Traeger Pro Series 22 hot rod

Pro Series 22 uses an AC hot rod (KIT0088 / BAC199 class, ~3.5" cartridge) — not a Pro 575 D2 DC rod. Unplug and match the Molex connector.

Pro Series 22 is an older AC Traeger. The igniter is a ~3.5” 200W cartridge in the KIT0088 / BAC199 family with a Molex plug — not the D2 KIT0255 rod used on Pro 575/780. We do not pin a 6”/8” Amazon part; live OEM rods we checked were not sold that way.

Safety

Procedure

  1. Unplug. Remove grate, drip tray, baffle. Vacuum cold ash.
  2. Photograph rod depth (often 1/8–1/4” into the pile), set screw, and connector.
  3. Disconnect at the plug. Do not cut the harness.
  4. Loosen set screw. Slide rod out.
  5. Continuity check: infinite or near-zero → scrap.
  6. Install AC KIT0088-class rod to the same depth. Tug-test wires clear of the auger.
  7. Plug in. Start cycle — rod should glow.
  8. Ash cake around a good rod fails ignition — clean the pot first next time.

FAQ

Will a Pro 575 rod work?

No. Wrong controller family (DC D2 vs AC).

Why search-only?

Prior live check rejected pinning B01LZZ6G6N as a universal 6/8” OEM. Search Traeger Pro 22 hot rod / KIT0088.

Pull stamped Char-Broil tubes, match length and inlet, reseat on the orifices, and leak-check. Universal tubes that are short are how flashbacks start.

Measure tent length and width on Performance and Commercial carts. Heat plates are the drip shields — when they lace, burners die. Do not buy by lid name alone.
