  Denise CampbellAug 14, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill is not achieving or maintaining a stable temperature, consider the following: * Check for sufficient airflow through the fire pot. Look for ash build-up or obstructions, ensure the fan is working correctly, and verify that the air intake isn't blocked. After checking these, start the grill, set the temperature to Smoke, and wait for 10 minutes to see if the flame is bright and vibrant. * Ensure you have sufficient and good quality fuel. Check the hopper for enough fuel and inspect the feed system for obstructions. * Examine the temperature probe. If dirty, clean it.

Why Pit Boss Grill produces excess smoke?
- D
  Dr. Brittany SinghAug 17, 2025
  Excessive or discolored smoke from your Pit Boss Grill can be due to: * Grease build-up, so you should follow the Care and Maintenance instructions. * Poor wood pellet quality. If the pellets are moist, remove them from the hopper, clean it out, and replace with dry wood pellets. * A blocked fire pot. Clear the fire pot of ash and debris. * Insufficient air intake for the fan. Check the fan to ensure it's working properly and the air intake isn't blocked.
