OP reeks of a troll, never came back since the day after this post and I'm not buying into his claim or story at all........come back and prove me wrong.
That’s definitely an RT firepot, I’ve replaced a few. We’re here mostly having a blast with our grills. I can see him not engaging, he just needed to vent. I’ve had plenty not so great times with my 1070. I have 3 yrs left of free igniters then it will be a propane torch start for as long as the rest of it lasts.
Not on the 340, 2 years IIRC. The recteq warranty length varies from model to model, depending on what the grill cost. At least that is how it appears it works,
