Heavy white smoke and strong raw wood smell during operation; food tastes bitter

Safety first: Operate the grill outdoors in a well‑ventilated area. Avoid breathing heavy smoke directly.

• Clean fire pot and burn area: Remove all ash and unburned pellets from the fire pot. Ensure air holes are open.
• Check fan operation: Confirm the fan runs continuously and at full speed. Clean fan blades and housing of grease and dust.
• Use dry pellets: Replace any damp pellets with fresh, dry pellets stored indoors.
• Increase temperature: Run the grill at a slightly higher temperature to promote cleaner combustion, especially during startup.
