    How to prevent frequent flare-ups on my Pit Boss 71700FB Grill?
    • L
      Lauren MontgomerySep 7, 2025
      To prevent frequent flare-ups on your Pit Boss grill, try cooking at a lower temperature. Grease has a flash point, so keeping the temperature under 176°C / 350°F when cooking greasy foods can help.

    Why is my Pit Boss Grill producing too much smoke or discolored smoke?
    • T
      Teresa ThompsonAug 22, 2025
      Excessive or discolored smoke from your Pit Boss grill can be due to a few reasons. Grease build-up can cause this, so follow the care and maintenance instructions. Another cause could be the wood pellet quality; remove any moist pellets and replace them with dry ones after cleaning out the grill. Lastly, a blocked burn pot can contribute to this issue, so clear the burn pot of any moist wood pellets.

    What does "ErP" mean on a Pit Boss 71700FB?
    • R
      Robin DixonSep 3, 2025
      The "ErP" error message on your Pit Boss grill can occur if the temperature dial wasn't in the OFF position when last connected to AC power. To fix this, turn the temperature dial to OFF, wait two minutes, and then turn the unit back on to SMOKE or your desired temperature. This safety feature prevents an inadvertent start. This error can also appear if a power outage occurred while in operation, but there is no suggested solution to fix this.

    Why is the temperature flashing on the LCD screen of my Pit Boss Grill?
    • C
      Charles GraySep 2, 2025
      A flashing temperature on the LCD screen of your Pit Boss grill indicates that the grill temperature is below 65°C / 150°F. This suggests a risk that the fire could go out. Check the hopper for enough fuel and any feed system obstructions. Also, inspect the grill temperature probe for dirt, the burn pot for ash build-up, and ensure the fan is working with unblocked air intake. Finally, check the auger motor for proper operation and any tube blockages.

    What does the "ErH" error message mean on my Pit Boss Grill and how to fix it?
    • R
      Rachel WilsonSep 1, 2025
      The "ErH" error message on your Pit Boss grill indicates that the grill has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. To resolve this, turn the temperature dial to OFF and allow the grill to cool. Remove the pellets and confirm the correct positioning of all component parts after maintenance. To clear the error, turn the temperature dial to OFF, open the lid, wait 3 to 4 minutes, then select your desired temperature.

    How to fix a Pit Boss Grill that will not maintain a stable temperature?
    • M
      Michelle SimonAug 30, 2025
      If your Pit Boss grill isn't maintaining a stable temperature, consider these potential causes: Adjust the control settings by lowering the "P" setting to decrease temperature fluctuations. Ensure sufficient airflow through the burn pot by checking for ash build-up or obstructions, verifying the fan is working correctly and the air intake isn't blocked, and confirming the auger motor's operation without blockages. Make sure there is sufficient and good quality fuel. Also, inspect the grill temperature probe for dirt. Once these steps are done, start the grill, set the temperature to SMOKE, wait 10 minutes, and check that the flame is bright and vibrant.

    What to do if the fire in the burn pot of my Pit Boss 71700FB Grill will not light?
    • J
      Joseph MurphyAug 29, 2025
      If the fire in the burn pot of your Pit Boss grill won't light, several factors could be the cause. The auger may not be primed, which is necessary before the first use or after the hopper has been completely emptied. Follow the Hopper Priming Procedure. 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.

    Why won't the LCD screen light up on my Pit Boss 71700FB?
    • A
      ashley99Aug 27, 2025
      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. Also, check that all wire connections are firmly connected. Another possible cause is a blown fuse on the circuit board, which would need to be replaced. The GFCI outlet may have been tripped, so ensure it's a minimum 10 Amp service and the wire connections are dry. Finally, make sure the temperature dial is not in the OFF position; turn it to SMOKE to start the unit.

    Why Pit Boss 71700FB will not achieve or maintain stable temperature?
    • M
      mtorresAug 26, 2025
      If your Pit Boss Grill isn't reaching or maintaining a stable temperature, here are some things to check: * **Airflow:** Make sure there isn't ash build-up or any obstructions in the fire pot. * **Fuel:** Ensure the hopper has enough fuel and that the fuel is of good quality. Also, check for any obstructions in the feed system. * **Temperature Probe:** Check the status of the temperature probe and clean it if it's dirty.
