      Turn the temperature control dial to OFF and allow the grill to cool. After the grill has cooled, remove the pellets and confirm the positioning of all component parts. Clear the error by turning the temperature control dial to OFF, opening the lid, waiting 3 to 4 minutes, and then selecting the desired temperature.

    What to do if my Pit Boss RANCH HAND PB440TGR1 Grill fire in burn pot will not light?
    • J
      Jose BarnesAug 19, 2025
      If the fire in the burn pot won't light, it may be because the auger isn't primed, especially if it's the first time using the grill or the hopper was completely emptied. In this case, follow the Hopper Priming Procedure. Also, the auger motor might be jammed; inspect the auger feed system and motor rotation. If the igniter has failed, contact Customer Service for a replacement part, but in the meantime, follow the Manual Start-up Procedure to continue using the grill.

      If you see an "ErR" error code, the temperature probe wire may not be making a connection. Check the probe wire for any damage and ensure the wire connections are firmly connected and correctly connected to the digital control board.

      The “ErP” error code indicates that the unit was not turned off properly when last connected to power. Turn the temperature control dial to OFF, and wait two minutes. Turn the temperature control dial to SMOKE or desired temperature.

    What to do if my Pit Boss RANCH HAND PB440TGR1 Grill will not achieve or maintain stable temperature?
    • D
      Debra StewartAug 28, 2025
      Check the burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions, and ensure the fan is working properly with no blocked air intake. Confirm the auger motor is operational and the auger tube is free of blockages. Also, check the hopper for sufficient fuel and inspect the grill temperature probe for dirt. If all these components are in order, start the grill, set the temperature to Smoke, and wait 10 minutes to ensure the flame produced is bright and vibrant. Be sure that you are using sufficient and quality fuel.

    Why does my Pit Boss RANCH HAND PB440TGR1 produce excess or discolored smoke?
    • A
      apriceAug 31, 2025
      Excess or discolored smoke can be caused by grease build-up, poor wood pellet quality (moist pellets), or a blocked burn pot. Clear the burn pot of moist wood pellets and follow the Hopper Priming Procedure. Remove moist wood pellets from the hopper and replace them with dry wood pellets.

    Why does my Pit Boss RANCH HAND PB440TGR1 Grill have frequent flare-ups?
    • M
      Mark PayneSep 3, 2025
      Frequent flare-ups may occur due to the cooking temperature being too high. Try cooking at a lower temperature, especially when cooking highly greasy food. Keep the temperature under 176°C / 350°F to prevent grease from reaching its flash point.

    Why does my Pit Boss Grill have flashing dots on the LCD screen?
    • C
      Carla WangSep 6, 2025
      The flashing dots indicate the grill is in Start-Up mode and the igniter is on. This is normal operation and not an error. The igniter will turn off after five minutes, and the grill will then operate at the selected temperature.

    What to do if my Pit Boss Grill LED screen will not light up?
    • D
      Donna WilliamsSep 9, 2025
      First, ensure the grill is properly plugged into a working power source. Then, check the fuse on the circuit board for any broken or blackened wires, replacing the fuse if necessary. Also, verify that the GFCI outlet hasn't tripped and that it provides a minimum of 10 Amp service. Finally, make sure the temperature control dial is not in the OFF position; turn it to SMOKE to start the unit.

    What to do if my Pit Boss Grill has flashing temperature on LCD screen?
    • C
      Charles MurphySep 12, 2025
      The flashing temperature indicates that the grill temperature is below 65°C / 150°F, which means that there is some risk that the fire could go out. Check the hopper for sufficient fuel or if there is an obstruction in the feed system. Remove pellets and check the grill temperature probe. Check the burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Check the fan and auger motor to confirm operation, and ensure there is no blockage in the auger tube.
