Possible Causes

Combustion fan speed too high, Fire pot overfilled with ash, Exhaust path restricted, Using very dusty pellets

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Let the grill cool before cleaning ash.

  • Step 1 – Clean fire pot and bottom: Vacuum ash from the fire pot and bottom of the cook chamber regularly.
  • Step 2 – Check exhaust: Ensure the chimney and exhaust ports are clear.
  • Step 3 – Use better pellets: Switch to higher‑quality pellets with less dust. Sift pellets if necessary.
  • Step 4 – Inspect fan control: If the fan seems excessively strong at low temps, the digital controller may be overdriving it and could require replacement.
