Possible Causes
Dirty RTD probe, Poor pellet quality causing inconsistent burn, Intermittent auger motor operation, Control board regulation issues
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the grill to cool before cleaning internal components.
- Clean RTD probe: Remove grease buildup from the temperature probe to improve response accuracy.
- Use consistent pellets: Switch to a single brand of high-quality pellets and avoid mixing pellet types.
- Observe auger feed: With the hopper partially empty, watch pellet feed cycles. If the auger stops or surges unpredictably, the motor or control board may be at fault.
- Check for drafts: Ensure the grill is not in a strong wind or draft that could affect combustion.
- Service components: Replace the auger motor or control board if mechanical or electronic irregularities are confirmed.
