Improper control setting.
Excess grease build-up or dirty
components.
Poor quality or damp wood
pellets.
Excess amount of ash in fire pot.
Improper cooking temperature
Too many pellets in the fire pot.
Check the fire pot for ash build-up or
obstruction.
Verify the blower fan motor is functioning, the
air intake is not blocked, and that the auger
tube does not have any blockage.
Perform a quick test. Remove cooking grids,
grease tray and diffuser. Turn Control Knob to
"HIGH" and wait for 15 minutes. Check that
the flame produced is bright and vibrant.
Verify the hopper is full of wood pellets made
for barbecue. Feel the pellets to be certain
they are dry. If wet, remove all pellets and
refill with dry wood pellets made for barbecue.
Clean the temperature sensor and verify it is
not blocked or covered.
Ensure smoke preset setting is correct in
SMOKE mode.
When the grill is cool, remove and properly
clean the components. It is good practice to
"Burn Off" excess food after each use by
setting controller to "HIGH" after food has
been removed. Allow to cook about 10
minutes and properly shutdown the grill.
Inspect the wood pellets and replace if need.
When the grill is cool, remove ash from the
Fire Pot using a shop vacuum.
When cooking very greasy foods, keep the
temperature under 350 F to help reduce
flare-ups. Avoid putting greasy food directly
over the Fire Pot area.
Adjust the controller to a lower temperature
and allow the cooking temperature to stabilize.
This could take several minutes. Once the
cooking temperature reaches the set
temperature, set a new desired cooking
temperature.
