What to do if my Master Chef TURISMO Grill has frequent flare-ups?
- R
  Richard WallsAug 18, 2025
  If your Master Chef Grill experiences frequent flare-ups, it's likely due to barbecue maintenance being required or cooking temperatures being too high. Clean the interior of the barbecue, including the baffle plate, grease trough, and interior surfaces, to remove grease buildup. Consider cooking at lower temperatures for longer periods, keeping the temperature under 350°F (177°C) when cooking greasy food.

Why is my Master Chef Grill producing excess smoke?
- T
  Thomas PattersonAug 22, 2025
  Excessive or dark smoke from your Master Chef Grill can stem from a few causes: * **Maintenance:** The barbecue might need cleaning. Check and clean interior parts as outlined in the Cleaning and Maintenance section. During shutdown, turn the unit to “MAX” to burn off excess grease. * **Pellets:** Old or damp wood pellets, or using incorrect pellets (like heating pellets instead of grilling pellets), can cause this issue. Check and clear the hopper and burner pot, replacing old pellets with fresh, dry ones. * **Ash:** Too much ash in the burner pot can also lead to excess smoke. When the unit is cool, vacuum the burner pot and the interior of the barbecue.

  Patricia RiveraAug 28, 2025
  If the LCD screen on your Master Chef Grill isn't lighting up, here are a few things to check: * **Power Cord:** Make sure the controller is in the “OFF” position and the power cord is properly plugged in. Also, ensure the barbecue is plugged into a working GFCI outlet. * **GFCI Outlet:** The GFCI outlet may have tripped. Ensure it's a minimum 15-amp service and you're not using an extension cord longer than 25’. Reset the GFCI outlet. If it trips again, try a different outlet. * **Circuit Board Fuse:** The circuit board fuse might have tripped. Ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. The 5-amp fuse must be manually replaced.

Why is the temperature on my Master Chef TURISMO too high on the 'Smoke' setting?
- J
  Justin MarksAug 31, 2025
  If your Master Chef Grill's temperature is too high on the “SMOKE” setting, it could be because the “P” setting is too low, or there were too many leftover pellets in the burner pot at start-up. Make sure the controller is on the “SMOKE” setting. Gently push the “P” Reset button with a paper clip to increase to the next “P” setting. See the Operation Section of this manual for more information.

  The “ErP” error message on your Master Chef Grill appears when the controller wasn't in the “OFF” position when the power cord was plugged in. To clear it, turn the controller to “OFF”.
