  If your Pit Boss Grill is producing excess or discolored smoke, possible causes include grease build-up, poor wood pellet quality, a blocked fire pot, or insufficient air intake for the fan. To resolve this, follow the cleaning instructions to address grease build-up. Remove any moist wood pellets from the hopper, clean it out, and replace with dry wood pellets. Clear the fire pot of any moist wood pellets, following the Hopper Priming Procedure. Check the fan to ensure it's working properly and that the air intake is not blocked; clean the fan if it's dirty.

Why Pit Boss Grill has no power lights on the control board?

  srobertsAug 27, 2025
  If there are no power lights on the control board of your Pit Boss Grill, the possible causes are: it is not connected to a power source, the fuse is blown on the control board, the GFCI outlet has been tripped, or the control board is faulty. Ensure the unit is plugged into a working power source and reset the breaker. Make sure the GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp service and all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. If the fuse is blown, remove the hopper access panel and check the fuse for a broken or black wire; if damaged, the fuse needs replacing. If the control board is faulty, it needs to be replaced, so contact Customer Service.

  The ErL error code on your Pit Boss Grill indicates that the grill is failing to perform the start-up cycle. To solve this, check the proper positioning of the cooking components. Ensure there is sufficient fuel in the hopper and no obstruction in the feed system. Remove the pellets and follow the cleaning instructions. Check the grill probe to confirm if the actual temperature is correct and accurate, cleaning it if dirty. Verify the ignitor positioning and ensure it is heating up properly. In extreme cold, a second start may be needed; turn the grill off, wait, and then turn it on again. Check the fan to ensure it is working properly, cleaning it if dirty.
