What to do if fire pot won't light on Pit Boss PB700S?

  Kristin WardAug 23, 2025
  If the fire in your Pit Boss Grill's fire pot won't light, and the auger hasn't been primed, follow the hopper priming procedure, especially if the unit is new or the hopper was emptied. If the auger motor is jammed, remove the cooking components, turn the unit on to SMOKE, and check if the auger is dropping pellets. If the igniter has failed, inspect it to ensure it's working and protruding about 13mm / 0.5 inches into the fire pot. Also, check the fire pot for ash build-up and ensure proper airflow.

Why is my Pit Boss PB700S producing too much smoke or discolored smoke?
- J
  James CarterAug 26, 2025
  Excessive or discolored smoke from your Pit Boss grill can be due to a few reasons. Grease build-up can cause this, so follow the care and maintenance instructions. Another cause could be the wood pellet quality; remove any moist pellets and replace them with dry ones after cleaning out the grill. Lastly, a blocked burn pot can contribute to this issue, so clear the burn pot of any moist wood pellets.

How to lower the temperature on the SMOKE setting of my Pit Boss PB700S?
- J
  Joseph BrownAug 27, 2025
  If the grill temperature on the SMOKE setting is too high on your Pit Boss grill, the "P" setting might be too low. To adjust this, turn the temperature dial to SMOKE, push the "P" SET button, and increase the "P" setting. Keep in mind that after preheating at high heat, the auger will continuously feed pellets for four minutes, raising the temperature temporarily. It will stabilize once the "P" setting cycle begins (approximately five to ten minutes).

  James AtkinsonSep 14, 2025
  The flashing dots on the LCD screen of your Pit Boss grill indicate that the unit has power and is in start-up mode, meaning the igniter is on. This is normal and not an error. The igniter will turn off after five minutes, and the grill will then adjust to the selected temperature.

  Gary MatthewsSep 15, 2025
  The flashing temperature on the LCD screen of your Pit Boss grill indicates that the grill temperature is below 65°C / 150°F. This suggests a risk that the fire could go out. Check the hopper for sufficient fuel or any obstruction in the feed system. Also, inspect the grill temperature probe for dirt, the fire pot for ash build-up, and the fan for proper operation and air intake. Finally, check the auger motor to ensure it's rotating and the auger tube isn't blocked.
