Why is my Camp Chef Smoker not turning on?
If your Camp Chef smoker isn't turning on, ensure it's properly plugged into a functioning outlet. Check the circuit breaker or GFCI switch, and test the outlet with another appliance. Unplug the smoker and inspect the fuse near the power cord inlet on the hopper's back. Replace a blown fuse only with a 4.0 Amp 125 V 5.2x20mm Fast Blow Fuse.
What to do if my Camp Chef Smoker does not heat up?
If your Camp Chef smoker isn't heating up, first turn off the power and check the hopper for pellets. Also, check the firebox for pellets by using the burner clean-out lever. If pellets are present but not igniting, the heating rod might need replacement—contact customer service. If no pellets are dropping into the burn cup after restarting, check if the auger is turning. If the auger motor is turning but the auger isn’t rotating, the auger pin may be sheared and need to be replaced.
Why is my Camp Chef Smoker not feeding pellets, but my auger is turning?
If your Camp Chef smoker's auger is turning but not feeding pellets, check the hopper to ensure it contains pellets. Also, inspect the area to see if anything is blocking the pellets from entering the auger chamber.
Why am I blowing the fuse on my Camp Chef Smoker?
If your Camp Chef smoker is blowing fuses, the hot rod is the most likely culprit, but you should also check the blower and auger motor. Disconnect the hot rod wires (purple) from the controller and try turning on the smoker. If the fuse doesn't blow, the hot rod is likely the issue. Repeat this process with the other wires. Always replace the fuse with the correct type: a 4 AMP 125 or 250 V Fast Blow Fuse.
What to do if my Camp Chef Smoker Ash Clean-out is stuck?

Why is my auger not turning on my Camp Chef Smoker?
