    Why does my Pit Boss Smoker produce excess or discolored smoke?
    • M
      Michael PalmerAug 23, 2025
      Excessive or discolored smoke from your Pit Boss Smoker can stem from several issues. It could be due to grease build-up, so follow the care and maintenance instructions. Another cause might be the wood pellet quality; remove any moist pellets from the hopper, clean it out, and replace with dry wood pellets. A blocked burn pot can also cause this issue, so clear it of any moist pellets and follow the hopper priming procedure. Lastly, check the fan to ensure it's working properly and the air intake isn't blocked, cleaning it according to the care and maintenance instructions if necessary.

    How to fix frequent flare-ups in my Pit Boss Smoker?
    • L
      Leslie TownsendAug 26, 2025
      Frequent flare-ups in your Pit Boss Smoker may be due to the cooking temperature being too high. Try cooking at a lower temperature, keeping it under 176°C / 350°F when cooking greasy foods, as grease has a flash point. Also, flare-ups can occur due to grease build-up on cooking components, so follow the care and maintenance instructions to clean them.

    What to do if my Pit Boss Smoker has no power lights on the control board?
    • T
      Tony ThompsonAug 28, 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. Then, verify that the smoker is properly plugged into a working power source and that the GFCI outlet hasn't tripped; reset the breaker if needed, and ensure the GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp service. Check that all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. If the issue persists, the fuse on the control board may be blown; remove cooking components, turn the unit on its side, remove the screws on the rear of the control board, and inspect the fuse for breaks or blackening, replacing it if necessary. If none of these steps work, the control board may be faulty, and you should contact Customer Service for a replacement.

    What to do if I see 'ErH' error code on my Pit Boss Smoker?
    • F
      forbesjenniferAug 31, 2025
      If you see an 'ErH' error code on your Pit Boss Smoker, it indicates that the smoker has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. Press and hold the power button to turn the unit off and allow it to cool completely. Then, follow the care and maintenance instructions. After maintenance, remove the pellets and confirm the correct positioning of all component parts. Once the unit is cooled, press the power button to turn it on again, and select your desired temperature. If the error code is still displayed, contact Customer Service.

    What does it mean if I see flashing dots on the LED screen of my Pit Boss Smoker?
    • C
      Charles ReedSep 2, 2025
      Flashing dots on the LED screen of your Pit Boss Smoker 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, and once the flashing dots disappear, the unit will begin to adjust to the selected temperature.

    What does 'Er1' error code mean on my Pit Boss Smoker?
    • A
      Andrew WallerSep 8, 2025
      If you see an 'Er1' error code on your Pit Boss Smoker, it means the temperature probe wire is not making a connection. Access the electrical components on the base of the unit (see Electric Wire Diagram) and check for any damage to the temperature probe wires. Ensure the temperature probe spade connectors are firmly connected, and connected correctly, to the control board.

    What does the 'noP' error code mean on my Pit Boss Smokers?
    • S
      Samantha LewisSep 12, 2025
      If you see a 'noP' error code on your Pit Boss Smoker, it indicates a problem with the meat probe connection. First, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port on the control board, and then reconnect it, ensuring the meat probe adapter is firmly connected. Check for any signs of damage to the adapter end. If the error persists, check the meat probe wires for any damage. If damaged, contact Customer Service for a replacement part. If the issue continues, the control board may be faulty, and you should contact Customer Service for a replacement part.

    Why does the thermometer show temperature when my Pit Boss Smoker is off?
    • A
      Andrew JonesSep 13, 2025
      If the thermometer shows a temperature when your Pit Boss Smoker is off, it means the smoker has a high ambient temperature or is in direct sunlight. This will not harm the smoker. The internal temperature of the main cabinet has reached or exceeded 54°C / 130°F. To resolve this, move the smoker into a shaded area and prop the cabinet door open to reduce the internal temperature.

    What to do if my Pit Boss Smoker will not achieve or maintain stable temperature?
    • W
      wayne16Nov 16, 2025
      If your Pit Boss Smoker isn't maintaining a stable temperature, several factors could be the cause. First, check the burn pot for ash build-up or any obstructions, and ensure the fan is working properly with no blocked air intake. Also, confirm the auger motor is operational and the auger tube isn't blocked. Start the smoker, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait 10 minutes to see if the flame is bright. Another cause could be insufficient or poor-quality fuel, or an obstruction in the feed system. Check the hopper fuel level. If the wood pellets are of poor quality or too long, remove them and follow the care and maintenance instructions. Finally, check the temperature probe and follow the care and maintenance instructions if it is dirty; if it's damaged, contact Customer Service for a r...

    What to do if the fire in the burn pot of my Pit Boss Smoker will not light?
    • D
      daniel94Nov 19, 2025
      If the fire in the burn pot of your Pit Boss Smoker won't light, the auger may not be primed. Before the first use, or any time the hopper is completely emptied, the auger must be primed to allow pellets to fill the burn pot; follow the hopper priming procedure. Another cause could be a jammed auger motor. To check this, remove cooking components, press the power button, turn the temperature control dial to SMOKE, and inspect the auger feed system to confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot. If it's not operating properly, call Customer Service. Finally, the igniter may have failed. Remove cooking components, press the power button, turn the temperature control dial to SMOKE, and inspect the igniter, placing your hand above the burn pot to feel for heat and visually con...
