When your pellet stove fails to light, a worn or burned-out igniter is the most common culprit. The St. Croix 80P52677-R is a direct-replacement igniter rod engineered for St. Croix pellet stoves manufactured in 2003 or earlier. At 250 watts and 4.5 inches long, it matches the original specification exactly -- plug-in replacement with male spade connectors and no modification required.
St. Croix pellet stoves from the late 1990s through 2003 used a specific igniter rod profile that is no longer bundled with current-generation units. Sourcing a quality replacement that matches the original wattage and length is critical -- an undersized igniter won't generate enough heat to reliably ignite the pellet bed, and an oversized one can damage the igniter housing or trip the stove's safety controls.
The 80P52677-R hits the correct 250W rating and 4.5-inch insertion length, ensuring consistent start cycles and long service life. It is also catalogued under NBK Parts number 20119K, so you may see it listed under either reference depending on your supplier.
Male spade connectors match the original wiring harness. No splicing, no adapters, no modification needed for compatible 2003 and earlier St. Croix models.
Matched to the original igniter specification. Proper wattage ensures reliable pellet bed ignition without stressing the stove's control board or safety circuits.
A 4.5-inch rod depth positions the heating element at the optimal point in the burn pot for fast, consistent ignition across all 13 compatible models.
Listed as St. Croix 80P52677-R and NBK Parts 20119K. Either number confirms you are ordering the correct component for these early-generation stoves.
This igniter fits the following St. Croix pellet stove models produced through model year 2003. If your stove was manufactured after 2003, verify your model year before ordering -- later units use a different igniter specification.
Replacing the igniter on these St. Croix models is a straightforward service task. The igniter threads or slides into the burn pot housing and connects via two male spade terminals to the stove's wiring harness.
