If your Pit Boss grill displays an unexpected temperature when OFF, it's likely due to high ambient temperature and direct sun exposure.

How to lower the temperature on the SMOKE setting of my Pit Boss 71700FB Grill?
If the grill temperature on the SMOKE setting is too high on your Pit Boss grill, the "P" setting might be too low. To adjust this, turn the temperature dial to SMOKE, push the "P" SET button, and increase the "P" setting. Keep in mind that after preheating at high heat, the auger will continuously feed pellets for four minutes, raising the temperature temporarily. It will stabilize once the "P" setting cycle begins (approximately five to ten minutes).

Why won't the LCD screen light up on my Pit Boss 71700FB?
There are several reasons why the LCD screen on your Pit Boss grill might not be lighting up. First, ensure the grill is properly plugged into a working power source.

Finally, make sure the temperature dial is not in the OFF position; turn it to SMOKE to start the unit.
What to do if the fire in the burn pot of my Pit Boss 71700FB Grill will not light?

Alternatively, the auger motor might be jammed. Inspect the auger feed system and motor rotation. If the motor is not operating properly or the bracket is damaged, contact Customer Service for a replacement part. Lastly, the igniter may have failed and needs replacement. In the meantime, you can use the Manual Start-up Procedure.
