Frequent Flare-Ups Cooking Temperature
This is not an error that effects the grill; however, it is used to show that there is some risk
that the fire could go out. Check hopper for sufficient fuel or if there is an obstruction in
the feed system. Remove pellets and follow Care and Maintenance instructions. Check
grill temperature probe. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Check burn
pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions for ash
build-up. Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked. Follow Care
and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Check auger motor to confirm operation, and ensure
there is no blockage in the auger tube.
Turn the temperature dial to SMOKE, push the "P" SET button, and increase the "P" setting.
When selecting a SMOKE setting after a temperature dial preset (such as preheating at
high heat), the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets for four minutes. This will
momentarily raise the temperature, but temperature will decrease and stabilize once the "P"
setting cycle begins (approximately five to ten minutes).
This will not harm the grill. The internal temperature of the grill barrel has ambiently
reached or exceeded 54°C / 130°F. Move the grill into a shaded area. Prop the lid open to
reduce the internal temperature.
The "P" setting is too high. Lowering the "P" setting will decrease large fluctuations in
temperature. Push the "P" SET button, and decrease the "P" setting. Similar to a campfire,
fueling the burn pot (fire) more frequently will result in less heat fluctuations. A lower "P"
setting, such as P1, will provide the most stable temperature.
Check burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions
for ash build-up. Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked.
Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Check auger motor to confirm
operation, and ensure there is no blockage in the auger tube. Once all the above steps have
been done, start the grill, set temperature to SMOKE and wait for 10 minutes. Check that the
flame produced is bright and vibrant.
Check hopper for sufficient fuel or if there is an obstruction in the feed system. Remove
pellets and follow Care and Maintenance instructions.
Check grill probe. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty.
Follow Care and Maintenance instructions.
Remove moist wood pellets from hopper. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions to
clean out. Replace with dry wood pellets.
Clear burn pot of moist wood pellets. Follow Hopper Priming Procedure.
Attempt cooking at a lower temperature. Grease does have a flash point. Keep the
temperature under 176°C / 350°F when cooking highly greasy food.
