A glow plug includes a sleeve secured by press-fitting to a housing with a ceramic heater held therein. A lead wire exposed from the heater is electrically connected to an inside surface of the sleeve to form a joint portion. The joint portion and a press-fit portion formed between the sleeve and the housing are offset in position relative to each other along an axial direction of the housing. The joint portion is thus kept free from the influence of a load or pressure applied during press-fitting operation to form the press-fit portion. A method of producing such glow plug is also disclosed.
