Why won't the fire pot light in my Pit Boss PB1100PSC1 Grill?
- J
  Julie MooreAug 15, 2025
  If the fire pot in your Pit Boss Grill won't light, it could be due to several reasons. First, the auger might not be primed, preventing pellets from reaching the fire pot; follow the Hopper Priming Procedure. Alternatively, the auger motor could be jammed; inspect the auger feed system with the unit on SMOKE to confirm pellets are dropping into the fire pot. Lastly, the igniter might have failed; check if it's working by feeling for heat above the fire pot and ensuring it protrudes about 13mm / 0.5 inches into the fire pot. If the igniter isn't working, use the Manual Start-up Procedure.

  Shannon McclureAug 18, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill isn't maintaining a stable temperature, several factors could be responsible. Start by checking the fire pot for ash build-up or obstructions and ensure the fan is working correctly with no blocked air intake. Also, confirm the auger motor is operating and the auger tube is free from blockages. Next, verify that the fuel level is sufficient and of good quality, without obstructions in the feed system. Lastly, check the temperature probe for dirt or damage. If all steps have been done, start the grill, set temperature to SMOKE and wait for 10 minutes. Check that the flame produced is bright and vibrant.

  Frequent flare-ups in your Pit Boss Grill can often be attributed to the following: * Cooking Temperature: Try cooking at a lower temperature, especially when cooking greasy foods, keeping it under 176°C / 350°F. * Grease Build-Up: Grease accumulation on cooking components can ignite easily; therefore, follow the Care and Maintenance instructions to clean your grill regularly.

After maintenance, remove the pellets and confirm the correct positioning of all component parts. Once cooled, press the Power Button to turn the unit on again, then select the desired temperature.

Why is there no power to my Pit Boss PB1100PSC1 control board?
- J
  Justin HarrisSep 5, 2025
  If there are no power lights on the control board of your Pit Boss Grill, first, ensure the grill is plugged into a working power source and reset the breaker. The GFCI should have a minimum 10 Amp service. Also, check that all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. Next, press the Power Button, ensuring it glows blue, and turn the Temperature Control Dial to a temperature setting. Finally, check the fuse on the control board for any broken or black wires, replacing it if necessary. If the GFCI outlet has been tripped, ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and dry and that the GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp service. If the issue persists, the control board may be faulty and require replacement.

Why is the temperature flashing on my Pit Boss PB1100PSC1 LCD screen?
- J
  Jacob MartinezSep 8, 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 is not an error, but it suggests a risk that the fire could go out. Check the hopper for sufficient fuel and inspect the feed system for any obstructions. Remove pellets and follow the Care and Maintenance instructions. Also, check the grill temperature probe and clean it if dirty, and inspect the fire pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Ensure the fan is working properly and the air intake is not blocked, and verify the auger motor's operation and check for blockages in the auger tube.

What do the flashing dots on my Pit Boss PB1100PSC1 LCD screen mean?
- E
  Elizabeth SheltonSep 12, 2025
  Flashing dots on the LCD screen of your Pit Boss Grill simply indicate that the unit has power and is in Start-Up mode, meaning the igniter is on. This is not an error. The igniter will turn off after five minutes, and once the flashing dots disappear, the grill will begin adjusting to the selected temperature.
