Excessive white smoke and poor combustion, food tastes bitter

Safety first: Avoid breathing heavy smoke directly.

• Change pellets: Empty the hopper and refill with dry, high-quality pellets. Store pellets indoors in a dry place.
• Clean fire pot and fan: Remove ash and check that the combustion fan and vents are clean.
• Adjust P-setting: Lower the P-setting to reduce pellet load and encourage cleaner burning.
• Run at moderate temp: Operate the grill at 250–300°F for a while to burn off residual moisture and stabilize combustion.
