If your Pit Boss grill displays an unexpected temperature when OFF, it's likely due to high ambient temperature and direct sun exposure. This won't harm the grill; the internal temperature has simply reached or exceeded 54°C / 130°F. Move the grill to a shaded area and prop the lid open to reduce the internal temperature.
What does "ErP" error code mean on my Pit Boss PB820FB?
If your Pit Boss Grill displays the "ErP" error code, it might be because the unit wasn't turned off properly when last connected to power, or there was a power outage while the unit was in operation. As a safety feature to prevent automatic restart, turn the temperature dial to OFF and wait two minutes. Then, turn the temperature dial to SMOKE or your desired temperature. If the error code persists, contact Customer Service.
What does "ErR" error code mean on a Pit Boss Grill?
If your Pit Boss Grill displays the "ErR" error code, it indicates that the temperature probe wire isn't making a proper connection. Remove the hopper access panel and inspect the probe wire for any damage. Ensure that the wire connections are firmly connected and correctly attached to the digital control board.
How to adjust Pit Boss PB820FB temperature when set at SMOKE?
If the temperature of your Pit Boss Grill is too high when set to SMOKE, the “P” Setting may be too low. Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE and push the “P” SETTING Button to INCREASE the “P” setting.
Why is my Pit Boss Grill producing too much smoke or discolored smoke?
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.
What does "ErP" mean on a Pit Boss PB820FB Grill?
The "ErP" error message on your Pit Boss grill can occur if the temperature dial wasn't in the OFF position when last connected to AC power. To fix this, turn the temperature dial to OFF, wait two minutes, and then turn the unit back on to SMOKE or your desired temperature. This safety feature prevents an inadvertent start. This error can also appear if a power outage occurred while in operation, but there is no suggested solution to fix this.
What does the "ErH" error message mean on my Pit Boss PB820FB and how to fix it?
The "ErH" error message on your Pit Boss grill indicates that the grill has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. To resolve this, turn the temperature dial to OFF and allow the grill to cool. Remove the pellets and confirm the correct positioning of all component parts after maintenance. To clear the error, turn the temperature dial to OFF, open the lid, wait 3 to 4 minutes, then select your desired temperature.
Why is the temperature flashing on the LCD screen of my Pit Boss PB820FB?
A 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 enough fuel and any feed system obstructions. Also, inspect the grill temperature probe for dirt, the burn pot for ash build-up, and ensure the fan is working with unblocked air intake. Finally, check the auger motor for proper operation and any tube blockages.
Why Pit Boss Grill produces excess smoke?
If your Pit Boss Grill is producing excessive or discolored smoke, check and clean the interior grilling area to remove excess grease build-up. Ensure you clear the hopper and burn pot of any moist pellets, replacing them with fresh, dry pellets. Also, check the burn pot for any fuel build-up. It is a good practice to clean and do a controlled burn off of the hidden excess grease after each large cooking of tasty greasy foods.
Why Pit Boss PB820FB Grill will not start?
If your Pit Boss Grill won't start, verify it's plugged in and the electrical outlet has power. Check and reset the Ground Fault Interrupter if needed. If the igniter isn't working, inspect the 5 amp fuse on the back of the control and replace it if necessary. Ensure the Temperature Dial is in the OFF position, then turn it to SMOKE to see if the LCD screen lights up. If these steps don't work, inspect the igniter and auger feed, and check the control board wires and connections. If problems persist, contact Customer Service for replacement parts.
