Possible Causes
Aggressive P-setting, Poor pellet quality, Windy conditions, Controller tuning not matched to grill load
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Adjust settings only when the grill is stable and safe.
- Adjust P-setting: Increase the P-setting slightly to reduce pellet feed during idle and minimize overshoot.
- Shield from wind: Move the grill to a less windy area or use a windbreak.
- Use consistent pellets: Stick with one brand and type of pellets to reduce variability.
- Avoid frequent lid opening: Opening the lid often can cause the controller to overcompensate.
