Why is my Dyna-Glo Grill not hot enough?
- R
  rodriguezcarrieAug 15, 2025
  If your Dyna-Glo Grill isn't generating enough heat, several factors could be the cause. Ensure you pre-heat the grill for 15-20 minutes and that the temperature is set high enough using the controller. Keep the lid closed during cooking to retain heat. Use an outdoor-rated extension cord at 15 amps if needed. Add pellets if the pellet hopper is empty. If the auger is jammed, remove cooking components, turn the unit on, set the temperature dial to "SMOKE" and visually inspect the auger inside the fire pot and inside the pellet hopper. If the auger does not turn, contact Customer Service for additional support.

  If there is no heat from your Dyna-Glo Grill, first ensure that the appliance is turned on. Check for any tripped circuit breakers and reset them if necessary. If these steps don't work, the controller or heating element may be faulty and need replacement. Also, make sure the pellet hopper is filled with wood pellets.

  If your Dyna-Glo Grill won't turn on, first ensure it is plugged into a working power source and reset the outlet breaker. Make sure the GFCI outlet can handle a 10 Amp load. Ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and free of moisture. If the issue persists, the fuse on the control board might be blown. Your appliance is equipped with a spare fuse. Contact Customer Service for step by step instructions for replacement.

What to do if my Dyna-Glo Grill circuit breaker trips?

  Kenneth RodriguezAug 26, 2025
  If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows on your Dyna-Glo Grill, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if too many appliances are plugged into the same circuit; if so, use a different outlet on a separate circuit. Another cause might be moisture in the controller, cord, or outlet, so ensure all connections are dry and avoid using the grill in wet conditions. Also, inspect the cord for any damage and replace it if needed. Finally, a damaged electrical connection could be the culprit, in which case you should replace the controller.

What does Er2 mean on Dyna-Glo Grill?
- L
  Linda CarterAug 28, 2025
  If you are seeing an 'Er 2' error code on your Dyna-Glo Grill, it indicates a temperature dial security alarm. Turn the temperature control dial to "Shut Down Cycle" and allow the fan to blow until the cycle is complete. Once the shut- down cycle is complete turn the unit on and set to the desired temperature. If problem persists, contact Customer Service for additional support.

Why is my Dyna-Glo Grill flashing temperature?
- J
  Jeffrey MoyerSep 1, 2025
  If the temperature is flashing on the control panel display of your Dyna-Glo Grill, it means the appliance temperature has fallen below 120F, and the fire pot fire is at risk of going out. If the temperature is not rising above 120F, check the hopper for any obstructions, the fire pot for ash build-up, and clean the internal temperature gauge/probe. Ensure air is flowing through the fire pot and that the auger is rotating without any blockages. Avoid opening the lid frequently.

Why is there a grease fire in my Dyna-Glo Grill?
- C
  Crystal CarterSep 4, 2025
  A persistent grease fire in your Dyna-Glo Grill is likely due to too much build-up on the grease drip tray. To resolve this, turn the dial to "Shut Down Cycle" and keep the lid closed to allow the fire to burn out. DO NOT use water to extinguish the fire, as personal injury may result. Allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning the grease tray.

Why is there no smoke from my Dyna-Glo Grill?
- B
  Brad GonzalezSep 12, 2025
  If very little or no smoke is coming from your Dyna-Glo Grill, the likely cause is not enough pellets. Add wood pellets to the pellet hopper.
