Grill temperature is
below 65°C /150°F
This is not an error that effects the grill; however, it is used to show that there is some risk
that the fire could go out.
Check hopper for sufficient fuel or if there is an obstruction in the feed system. Remove
pellets and follow Care and Maintenance instructions.
Check grill temperature probe. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty.
Check burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions
for ash build-up.
Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked. Follow Care and
Maintenance instructions if dirty.
Check auger motor to confirm operation, and ensure there is no blockage in the auger tube.
Grill Temperature
on SMOKE is
too high
"P" Setting is too
LOW
Turn the temperature dial to SMOKE, push the "P" SET button, and increase the "P" setting.
When selecting a SMOKE setting after a temperature dial preset (such as preheating at
high heat), the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets for four minutes. This will
momentarily raise the temperature, but temperature will decrease and stabilize once the "P"
setting cycle begins (approximately five to ten minutes).
Grill displays
unexpected
temperature
when OFF
Grill is exposed
to high ambient
temperature and
direct sun
This will not harm the grill. The internal temperature of the grill barrel has ambiently
reached or exceeded 54°C / 130°F. Move the grill into a shaded area. Prop the lid open to
reduce the internal temperature.
Grill will not
achieve or
maintain stable
temperature
Control settings The "P" setting is too high. Lowering the "P" setting will decrease large fluctuations in
temperature. Push the "P" SET button, and decrease the "P" setting. Similar to a campfire,
fueling the burn pot (fire) more frequently will result in less heat fluctuations. A lower "P"
setting, such as P1, will provide the most stable temperature.
Insufficient air flow
through burn pot
Check burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Follow
Care and Maintenance instructions
for ash build-up.
Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked. Follow Care and
Maintenance instructions if dirty.
Check auger motor to confirm operation, and ensure there is no blockage in the auger tube.
Once all the above steps have been done, start the grill, set temperature to  and wait
for 10 minutes. Check that the flame produced is bright and vibrant.
