  If your Pit Boss smoker displays an "ErH" error code, it indicates 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 the smoker to cool down. Follow the Care and Maintenance instructions. After maintenance, remove the pellets and confirm the 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 persists, contact Customer Service.

Why does my Pit Boss Smoker produce excess or discolored smoke?
- D
  Daniel CoxAug 27, 2025
  Excessive or discolored smoke from your Pit Boss Smoker can stem from several issues. It could be due to grease build-up, so follow the care and maintenance instructions. Another cause might be the wood pellet quality; remove any moist pellets from the hopper, clean it out, and replace with dry wood pellets. A blocked burn pot can also cause this issue, so clear it of any moist pellets and follow the hopper priming procedure. Lastly, check the fan to ensure it's working properly and the air intake isn't blocked, cleaning it according to the care and maintenance instructions if necessary.

How to fix frequent flare-ups in my Pit Boss Smoker?
- C
  Charles HendrixAug 29, 2025
  Frequent flare-ups in your Pit Boss Smoker may 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. Also, flare-ups can occur due to grease build-up on cooking components, so follow the care and maintenance instructions to clean them.

  If your Pit Boss smoker displays an "Er1" error code, it indicates that the temperature probe wire is not making a connection. To fix this, access the electrical components on the base of the unit (see Electric Wire Diagram) and check for any damage to the Temperature Probe wires. Ensure the Temperature Probe spade connectors are firmly connected, and connected correctly, to the Control Board.

  If your Pit Boss smoker displays a "noP" error code, it could be due to several reasons related to the meat probe. First, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port on the Control Board and reconnect it, ensuring the adapter is firmly connected and checking for damage. If the issue persists, inspect the meat probe wires for damage. If the problem continues, the Control Board may be faulty and needs to be replaced.

What to do if my Pit Boss Smoker has no power lights on the control board?
- T
  timothybowmanSep 2, 2025
  If there are no power lights on the control board of your Pit Boss Smoker, start by pressing the power button, holding it for two seconds to ensure a solid connection. Then, verify that the smoker is properly plugged into a working power source and that the GFCI outlet hasn't tripped; reset the breaker if needed, and ensure the GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp service. Check that all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. If the issue persists, the fuse on the control board may be blown; remove cooking components, turn the unit on its side, remove the screws on the rear of the control board, and inspect the fuse for breaks or blackening, replacing it if necessary. If none of these steps work, the control board may be faulty, and you should contact Customer Service for a replacement.

What does it mean if I see flashing dots on the LED screen of my Pit Boss Smoker?
- A
  angelascottSep 5, 2025
  Flashing dots on the LED screen of your Pit Boss Smoker indicate that the unit has power and is in start-up mode, meaning the igniter is on. This is not an error. The igniter will turn off after five minutes, and once the flashing dots disappear, the unit will begin to adjust to the selected temperature.
