What to do if my Pit Boss Grill won't maintain temperature?

  Mrs. Danielle MartinAug 16, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill struggles to maintain a stable temperature, several factors could be responsible. First, check the burn pot for ash build-up or obstructions, ensuring sufficient airflow. Also, inspect the fan to confirm it's working correctly and the air intake isn't blocked. Additionally, verify that the ash box is correctly installed to ensure a good seal. Finally, check the fuel level and quality; replenish if low, and if the pellets are of poor quality or too long, remove them to clear any obstruction in the feed system.

  If the actual temperature on your Pit Boss Grill isn't adjusting, several things could be the cause. A dirty grill probe can interfere with temperature readings. Hardwood pellet quality can also play a role; remove any moist pellets and replace them with dry ones. A blocked burn pot can also cause this issue, so clear it of any obstructions. Lastly, check the fan to ensure it is clean, working properly, and the air intake is not blocked.

Why is there no power on my Pit Boss SAVANNAH PB1500NX Grill control board?
- A
  Antonio DavisAug 27, 2025
  If there are no power lights on the control board of your Pit Boss Grill, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the unit is properly plugged into a working power source with a minimum 10 amp service, and verify all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. Another potential cause is a blown fuse on the control board; inspect the fuse for a broken or blackened wire, and replace it if necessary. A faulty control board may also be the reason, in which case it needs replacement. Finally, if the auger hasn't been primed, especially before the first use or after the hopper has been emptied, follow the auger priming procedure to allow pellets to fill the auger tube.

What causes frequent flare-ups in my Pit Boss Grill?
- C
  Christina HornSep 3, 2025
  Frequent flare-ups in your Pit Boss Grill can be due to a couple of reasons. One common cause is the cooking temperature being too high, especially when cooking greasy foods; try cooking at a lower temperature, keeping it under 176°C / 350°F. Another reason is grease build-up on cooking components.

  If your Pit Boss Grill displays the "ErL" error code, it means the grill isn't performing the start-up cycle correctly. Check that all cooking components are correctly positioned. Also, check the hopper for enough fuel or any obstructions in the feed system; remove pellets if there's an obstruction.

  James SosaSep 8, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill shows an "ErP" error code, the grill probe wire may not be making a proper connection. To address this, remove the access panel and inspect the Grill Probe wires for any damage. Disconnect and then reconnect the Grill Probe connectors to the Control Board.

What to do if my Pit Boss SAVANNAH PB1500NX Grill displays the Pellet Error Screen?
- J
  Jared PierceSep 12, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill displays a Pellet Error Screen, it typically indicates a lack of fuel or poor fuel quality. Check the hopper to ensure the fuel level is sufficient and replenish if it's low. Also, poor quality hardwood pellets or pellets that are too long can cause an obstruction in the feed system.
