grill and assess the ignitor again.
d. If you do not see the igniter glow, it may need to be re-
placed. Please call Oklahoma Joe's customer service for
assistance.
8. What if I see smoke from the hopper?
This is sign that you are not getting proper air flow in the
cooking chamber. This situation can be caused by several
factors. Follow these steps to address the problem:
1. Check Smokestacks and Caps for any obstruction and
clear if needed. Use protective gloves as the grill will
be very hot!
2. Check for ash build up in the firepot. If ashes are not
draining properly into the ash cup, they can build up
and cause pellets in the auger tube to ignite. Here's
how to assess ash build up:
a. Shutdown grill and allow to cool
b. Remove cooking grates and baffles. Shift DLX baf-
fle to SEAR MODE if equipped.
c. Check for and remove any ashes or unburnt pellets
in the firepot.
d. Check and empty ash cup.

CLEARING AN AUGER JAM
Auger jams can occur from time to time with normal use of the grill.
Jams can be caused by a number of factors such as using damp/
crumbling pellets, leaving pellets in the system for extended peri-
ods of time or not properly running the shutdown process. In some
cases, a jam may be accompanied by an ER5 message on the Pit
Control screen but ultimately, an auger jam will prevent the auger
from feeding pellets into the firepot, thus causing a flameout.
Visit our FAQ on Oklahoma Joe's.com for step by step video instruc-
tions and demonstration of this process.
