  If your Pit Boss Grill is producing excess or discolored smoke, it could be due to several reasons: * Grease build-up: Follow the Care and Maintenance instructions. * Poor wood pellet quality: Remove moist wood pellets from the hopper and replace them with dry ones. * Blocked fire pot: Clear the fire pot of ash and other debris. * Insufficient air intake for the fan: Check that the fan is working properly and that the air intake is not blocked.

  The flashing dots on the LCD screen of your Pit Boss Grill simply indicate that the unit has power and is in Start-Up mode, meaning the igniter is on. This is not an error. The igniter will turn off after five minutes. Once the flashing dots disappear, the grill will begin to adjust to the desired temperature selected.

  Kimberly CarterAug 31, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill is not achieving or maintaining a stable temperature, several factors could be responsible: * Check the fire pot for ash build-up or obstructions. * Ensure sufficient airflow through the fire pot. * Verify the fan is working properly and the air intake is not blocked. * Confirm adequate fuel levels and quality, ensuring no obstructions in the feed system. * Check the status of the temperature probe; clean if dirty, and replace if damaged. After completing these steps, start the grill, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait 10 minutes. Check that the flame produced is bright and vibrant.

Why is the temperature flashing on my Pit Boss Grill LCD screen?
- L
  lewiskathySep 10, 2025
  The flashing temperature on the LCD screen of your Pit Boss Grill indicates that the grill temperature is below 65°C / 150°F. This is not an error, but it shows a risk that the fire could go out. Check the hopper for sufficient fuel, look for any obstructions in the feed system, and inspect the grill temperature probe. Also, check the fire pot for ash build-up and ensure the fan is working correctly with no blockage in the air intake. Finally, check the auger motor to confirm it is rotating and that there is no blockage in the auger tube.
