Why won't my Pit Boss Grill fire in burn pot light?

  If the fire in the burn pot of your Pit Boss Grill won't light, it could be due to several reasons. First, the auger might not be primed, especially if the unit is new or the hopper has been emptied; follow the hopper priming procedure. Another cause could be a jammed auger motor; inspect the auger feed system to confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot. Also, check the igniter to ensure it is working and protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches into the burn pot. Lastly, ensure there is sufficient airflow through the burn pot by checking for ash build-up or obstructions and verifying that the fan is working correctly with no blocked air intake.

  Margaret MeadowsAug 27, 2025
  Frequent flare-ups in your Pit Boss Grill can be caused by a couple of factors. The cooking temperature might be too high, as grease has a flash point, so try cooking at a lower temperature, ideally below 176°C / 350°F, especially when cooking greasy foods. Also, grease build-up on cooking components can lead to flare-ups, so ensure you follow the care and maintenance instructions to keep these parts clean.

What to do if Pit Boss Sportsman PB0820SP won't maintain stable temperature?

  Sherry SchneiderSep 3, 2025
  If your Pit Boss Grill isn't maintaining a stable temperature, start by checking the fire pot for ash build-up or obstructions and ensure the fan is working correctly with unobstructed air intake. Also, verify that the fuel level in the hopper is sufficient and of good quality, without obstructions in the feed system. The temperature probe might also be the issue; ensure it is clean. If all steps have been done, start the grill, set the temperature to SMOKE, and wait for 10 minutes. Check that the flame produced is bright and vibrant.
