How does a pellet stove igniter work?

Aluminium oxyde (alumina) ceramic heating element are developed based on ceramic lamination technologies: internal heating elements are protected from oxidation in air due to a sintered one-piece ceramic body construction.

Advantages of ceramic pellet stove igniter:

High-Temperature (950~1000°C)
Rapid heat increase (950~1000°C) in less than 60s
High watt density, good thermal efficiency (save energy compare to metal cartridge heating element)
Long Durability
Do not over-heat/ Stable temperature
Superior dielectric strength and electrical insulation
Don't oxidized
Small Size/High Output (compact compare to traditional heating element)
Excellent Mechanical Properties
