Possible Causes

Missing or damaged internal seals, Warped cabinet panels from overheating, Loose fasteners on cabinet seams, Overfilled wood chip tray causing flare‑ups

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the smoker. Allow it to cool before inspection.

  • Inspect cabinet seams: Tighten all accessible screws around the cabinet and control housing.
  • Check for warping: Look for distorted panels or gaps. Minor gaps can be sealed with high‑temp silicone sealant on the exterior seams.
  • Use proper chip load: Do not overfill the wood chip tray; follow the manual’s recommended amount to avoid flare‑ups.
  • Replace damaged seals: If internal seals or gaskets are missing or burnt, replace them with OEM parts.
