Grill produces excessive white smoke and struggles to reach temperature

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool before cleaning internal components.

• Clean firepot: Remove ash and ensure all air holes in the firepot are open.
• Inspect combustion fan: Check the fan intake and outlet for grease or debris. Clean the fan blades carefully.
• Check exhaust: Make sure the chimney cap is not fully closed and that the chimney and exhaust ports are free of soot buildup.
• Use quality pellets: Replace pellets with a fresh, dry, premium hardwood brand recommended for Broil King pellet grills.
• Test burn: Run the grill at a medium setting and observe smoke. A thin blue smoke indicates proper combustion.
