Why is my Pit Boss Grill producing excess or discolored smoke?

  If your Pit Boss Grill is producing excess or discolored smoke, there could be several reasons. First, check for grease build-up and follow the care and maintenance instructions to clean it. Also, the wood pellet quality might be poor; remove any moist pellets from the hopper, clean it out, and replace them with dry wood pellets. Additionally, the fire pot could be blocked, so clear it of ash and other debris, following the hopper priming procedure. Finally, ensure the fan has sufficient air intake by checking that it's working properly and the air intake isn't blocked; clean it if dirty, following the care and maintenance instructions.

Why won't my Pit Boss PB1000XL/SC3 Grill achieve or maintain a stable temperature?

  If your Pit Boss Grill isn't achieving or maintaining a stable temperature, start by checking the fire pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Also, check the fan to ensure it's working properly and the air intake isn't blocked. Next, inspect the hopper to ensure the fuel level is sufficient and that the wood pellets are of good quality and not too long, which could cause an obstruction in the feed system. Finally, check the temperature probe and clean it if dirty. After completing these steps, start the grill, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait 10 minutes to ensure the flame is bright and vibrant.

Why does my Pit Boss PB1000XL/SC3 Grill have frequent flare-ups?

  If you're experiencing frequent flare-ups with your Pit Boss Grill, it could be due to the cooking temperature being too high. Try cooking at a lower temperature, keeping it under 176°C / 350°F when cooking highly greasy food. Another cause could be grease build-up on the cooking components, so follow the care and maintenance instructions to clean them.

  If your Pit Boss Grill displays an "ErH" error code, it means the unit has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. Turn the unit off and allow the grill to cool. Follow the care and maintenance instructions. After maintenance, remove the pellets and confirm the positioning of all component parts. Once cooled, turn the unit on again and select the desired temperature. If the error code is still displayed, contact Customer Service.

  If your Pit Boss Grill displays an "Err" error code, the temperature probe wire may not be making a connection. Remove the hopper access panel and check for any damage to the temperature probe wires. Ensure the temperature probe molex connectors are firmly connected, and connected correctly, to the control board.

What does the "noP" error code mean on my Pit Boss PB1000XL/SC3 Grill?

  Kenneth JamesSep 5, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill displays a "noP" error code, there may be a bad connection at the connection port. Disconnect the meat probe from the connection port on the control board and reconnect it, ensuring the meat probe adapter is firmly connected. Check for signs of damage to the adapter end. Alternatively, the meat probe itself might be damaged; check for signs of damage to the wires. If the issue persists, the control board may be faulty and needs replacement; contact Customer Service for a replacement part.

  If your Pit Boss Grill displays an "ErP" error code, it indicates that the unit was not turned off properly when last connected to power. This safety feature prevents an automatic restart. To resolve this, press the power button to turn the unit off, wait two minutes, and then press the power button to turn it on again. Turn the temperature control dial to SMOKE or your desired temperature. If the error code continues to display, contact Customer Service.

Why are there flashing dots on the LCD screen of my Pit Boss PB1000XL/SC3 Grill?
- K
  Katherine MclaughlinSep 12, 2025
  If the LCD screen on your Pit Boss Grill is flashing dots, this is not an error. It indicates that the unit has power and is in start-up mode, meaning the igniter is on. The igniter will turn off after five minutes, and once the flashing dots disappear, the grill will begin to adjust to the selected temperature.
