      The "ErH" error code on your Pit Boss Smoker indicates that the smoker has overheated, possibly due to a grease fire or excess fuel. To resolve this, press and hold the power button to turn the unit off and allow it to cool. Follow the care and maintenance instructions. 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, then select the desired temperature. If the error code is still displayed, contact Customer Service.

    What does it mean if the temperature is flashing on the LED screen of my Pit Boss Smoker?
    • J
      Jeffery WrightAug 29, 2025
      A flashing temperature on the LED screen of your Pit Boss Smoker 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 or for any obstruction in the feed system. Remove pellets and follow the care and maintenance instructions. Also, inspect the grill temperature probe and clean it if dirty, following the care and maintenance instructions. Check the burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions and clean if needed. Ensure the fan is working properly and the air intake is not blocked. Finally, check the auger motor to confirm it is rotating and ensure there is no blockage in the auger tube.

    What to do if my Pit Boss Smoker will not achieve or maintain stable temperature?
    • G
      gabriel88Nov 20, 2025
      If your Pit Boss Smoker struggles to reach or maintain a stable temperature, consider the following: * Check for sufficient airflow through the burn pot. Clear any ash build-up or obstructions, ensure the fan is working correctly and the air intake isn't blocked. Also, verify the auger motor's operation and ensure the auger tube is free from blockages. After these steps, start the smoker, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait 10 minutes to check for a bright, vibrant flame. * Verify that there is enough fuel, the fuel quality is adequate, and there are no obstructions in the feed system. Replenish the fuel if low. If the wood pellets are of poor quality or too long, remove them and follow the care and maintenance instructions. * Inspect the temperature probe. Clean it if dirty, fol...

Follow the Hopper Priming Procedure. * The auger motor may be jammed. Turn on the unit, set the temperature control dial to SMOKE, and inspect the auger feed system to confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot. If it's not operating properly, contact Customer Service for assistance or a replacement part. * The igniter may have failed.
