What to do if my Pit Boss PB1020NX Grill shows an "ErH" error code?
- T
  Tina HillAug 20, 2025
  If the Pit Boss Grill displays the "ErH" error code, it indicates that the unit has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. To resolve this, press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn the unit off and allow the grill to cool. After it cools, remove pellets and confirm the positioning of all component parts. Once cooled, press the Power Button to turn the unit on, then select the desired temperature. If the error code is still displayed, contact Customer Care.

Why won't the burner light on my Pit Boss PB1020NX Grill?
- C
  Casey HallAug 22, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill burner will not light, first, visually confirm that the igniter is working by pushing the igniter button and looking at the igniter tip for a spark. Also, check the gas cylinder and hosing for issues, and inspect the regulator valve. Ensure sufficient airflow by adjusting the damper vents. Finally, visually confirm that the burner tube and portholes are not obstructed.

What does the "ErL" error code mean on my Pit Boss PB1020NX?

  Michael SmithAug 25, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill displays the "ErL" error code, it indicates that the grill fails to perform the start-up cycle. Check the proper positioning of cooking components and ensure the hopper has sufficient fuel and that there is no obstruction in the feed system. Also, try disconnecting the meat probe from the connection port on the Control Board, and then reconnect it, ensuring the meat probe adapter is firmly connected. Another possible cause is that the grill will not stay lit.

  If your Pit Boss Grill displays the "Err" error code and the Auger icon is blinking, it indicates that the auger motor is jammed or not making a connection. To resolve this, remove the cooking components from the main barrel, turn the unit on, and inspect the auger feed system. Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot.

Why is my Pit Boss Grill producing excess or discolored smoke?
- B
  bellkennethSep 6, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill is producing excess or discolored smoke, it could be due to a dirty grill probe. Check the status of the Grill Probe and follow the Care and Maintenance instructions if it's dirty. Other possible causes are grease build-up (follow Care and Maintenance instructions), poor hardwood pellet quality (replace with dry pellets and clean out the moist pellets), a blocked burn pot (clear the burn pot), or insufficient air intake for the fan (ensure the fan is clean, working properly, and the air intake is not blocked).
