If your Pit Boss Smoker's thermometer shows a temperature when the unit is off, it means the internal temperature of the main cabinet has reached or exceeded 54°C / 130°F due to high ambient temperature or direct sunlight. This will not harm the smoker. Move the smoker into a shaded area and prop the cabinet door open to reduce the internal temperature.

If the LED screen on your Pit Boss smoker is flashing temperature, it indicates that the grill temperature is below 65°C /150°F, posing a risk that the fire could go out. To resolve this, check the hopper for sufficient fuel and inspect the feed system for obstructions. Remove pellets and follow the Care and Maintenance instructions. Also, inspect the grill temperature probe, cleaning it if dirty according to the Care and Maintenance instructions. Ensure the burn pot is free of ash build-up or obstructions, following the Care and Maintenance instructions.
