The Wayne Burner #18 LP Pilot Orifice is a critical component for maintaining consistent ignition and flame control in your Southern Pride commercial smoker. This precision pilot orifice regulates propane flow to your burner's ignition system, ensuring reliable startup and stable heat output.
Compatible with most Southern Pride commercial smokers featuring Wayne burner systems, this OEM part (60680) is essential for proper burner performance.
When to Replace: Replace your pilot orifice if you notice weak pilot flames, difficulty igniting your smoker, or if it hasn't been serviced during routine maintenance. We recommend checking this component annually as part of your pre-season preparation.
Installation: This is a straightforward replacement suitable for most users with basic mechanical skills. You'll need standard hand tools and should ensure your propane supply is shut off before beginning work. If you're unfamiliar with propane systems, professional installation is recommended for safety.
