Heavy white smoke, soot on food, and bitter taste during cooks.

Safety first: Operate the grill outdoors in a well‑ventilated area only.

• Step 1 – Clean fire pot: Remove excess pellets and ash from the fire pot. Ensure the air holes are not blocked.
• Step 2 – Check fan and vents: Verify the combustion fan is running and that intake and exhaust vents are clear of obstructions.
• Step 3 – Use quality pellets: Replace pellets with dry, food‑grade hardwood pellets recommended for ASMOKE grills.
• Step 4 – Avoid frequent lid opening: Opening the lid too often can disrupt airflow and cause smoldering.
• Step 5 – Replace fan if weak: If smoke remains thick and white despite cleaning and good pellets, replace the combustion fan motor.
