  If your Dansons Group Grill will not achieve or maintain a stable temperature, check the burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Also, ensure the fan is working properly and the air intake is not blocked. Next, verify the fuel level is sufficient and of good quality, ensuring there are no obstructions in the feed system. Finally, check the grill probe and clean it if dirty. After these steps, start the grill, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait for 10 minutes, ensuring the flame is bright and vibrant.

  If the fire in the burn pot of your Dansons Group Grill will not light, first ensure the auger is primed, especially if the unit is new or the hopper was emptied. If the auger is not primed, follow the hopper priming procedure. If the auger motor is jammed, remove the cooking components, turn the temperature control dial to SMOKE, and inspect the auger feed system.
