If your Pit Boss smoker is experiencing frequent flare-ups, it could be due to the cooking temperature being too high. Try cooking at a lower temperature, keeping it under 176°C / 350°F when cooking greasy foods, as grease has a flash point. Additionally, grease build-up on cooking components can cause flare-ups, so follow the Care and Maintenance instructions to address this.
