Why is my Cuisinart Smokers grill not getting hot enough?

S
Sydney NealAug 5, 2025
If your Cuisinart Smokers grill is not getting hot enough, there are several potential causes. First, make sure you have turned up the heat on the control knob. Opening the hood too often allows heat to escape, causing temperature variations. Ensure the pellet hopper has enough pellets, allowing time for them to move to the firepot (up to 5 minutes). Lastly, excess ash can cause issues; remove any unburned pellets and ash from the firepot, ensuring the grill is cold to avoid fire from hot ash.

Why won't the pellets ignite in my Cuisinart SMK2036AS?

S

If the pellets in your Cuisinart Smokers will not ignite, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the auger is primed, especially before the first use or after emptying the hopper, by allowing the auger tube to fully load with pellets. If that doesn't work, remove all components inside the firebox, turn the grill to 200* F and inspect the auger. If the ignitor has failed, contact Customer Service for a replacement part and follow the Manual Start-Up Procedure to continue using the grill.
