How to fix Pit Boss 0094876 temperature that is unstable?
- A
  Alejandra MarshallAug 15, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Smoker is not achieving or maintaining a stable temperature, there are several potential causes. First, check for sufficient airflow through the burn pot by inspecting for ash build-up or obstructions, ensuring the fan is working properly, and confirming no blockages in the auger tube. Once these steps are complete, start the smoker, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait 10 minutes to ensure the flame is bright and vibrant. Another cause might be insufficient fuel, poor fuel quality, or an obstruction in the feed system. Check the hopper fuel level and remove any pellets if the quality is poor. Lastly, inspect the temperature probe, clean it if dirty, and contact Customer Service if damaged.

What to do if Pit Boss 0094876 Smokers temperature is flashing on the LED screen?
- J
  Jasmine ChavezAug 18, 2025
  If the temperature is flashing on the LED screen of your Pit Boss Smoker, it indicates that the grill temperature is below 65°C / 150°F, suggesting the fire might go out. Check the hopper for enough fuel and look for obstructions in the feed system. Remove the pellets, inspect the grill temperature probe for dirt, and check the burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Also, ensure the fan is working properly and the air intake isn't blocked. Finally, check the auger motor to confirm it's rotating and that there are no blockages in the auger tube.

Why is my Pit Boss 0094876 Smokers producing excess or discolored smoke?
- J
  Jean ColemanAug 21, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Smoker is producing excess or discolored smoke, it could be due to grease build-up, so follow the Care and Maintenance instructions. It may also be caused by wood pellet quality; remove any moist wood pellets from the hopper, clean it out, and replace with dry wood pellets. A blocked burn pot may also be the culprit; clear the burn pot of moist wood pellets and follow the Hopper Priming Procedure. Finally, check the fan to ensure it is working properly and the air intake is not blocked.

How to prevent frequent flare-ups in Pit Boss Smokers?

  Dr. Robert Sawyer MDAug 25, 2025
  To prevent frequent flare-ups in your Pit Boss Smoker, try cooking at a lower temperature, keeping it under 176°C / 350°F when cooking highly greasy food, as grease has a flash point. Also, ensure you are following the Care and Maintenance instructions to prevent grease build-up on cooking components.

What to do if Pit Boss 0094876 Smokers control board has no power?
- A
  annagonzalesAug 27, 2025
  If there are no power lights on the control board of your Pit Boss Smoker, start by pressing the power button, holding it for two seconds to ensure a solid connection. Check that the smoker is properly plugged into a working power source and reset the breaker. Make sure your GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp service. Inspect all wire connections to ensure they are firmly connected and dry. If the issue persists, remove cooking components, turn the unit on its side, remove the screws on the rear side of the control board, and check the fuse for any broken or blackened wires, replacing the fuse if necessary. If all else fails, the control board may be faulty and require replacement.

  The "noP" error code on your Pit Boss Smoker indicates a problem with the meat probe connection. Try disconnecting the meat probe from the connection port on the control board and reconnecting it, ensuring the adapter is firmly connected. Check the adapter end for any signs of damage.

  The "ErH" error code on a Pit Boss Smoker indicates that the smoker has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. To resolve this, press and hold the power button to turn the unit off and allow it to cool. Follow the Care and Maintenance instructions.

Why does my Pit Boss Smokers thermometer shows temperature when unit is off?
- K
  Kenneth EdwardsSep 8, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Smoker's thermometer shows a temperature when the unit is off, it means the internal temperature of the main cabinet has reached or exceeded 54°C / 130°F due to high ambient temperature or direct sunlight. This will not harm the smoker. Move the smoker into a shaded area and prop the cabinet door open to reduce the internal temperature.

  Sandra RichardSep 12, 2025
  The "Er1" error code on your Pit Boss Smoker indicates that the temperature probe wire is not making a connection. To fix this, access the electrical components on the base of the unit and check for any damage to the temperature probe wires. Ensure the temperature probe spade connectors are firmly and correctly connected to the control board.
