Grill struggles to reach set temperature, especially in cold or windy conditions.

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

• Use premium pellets: Switch to high-quality hardwood pellets recommended for Green Mountain Grills.
• Clean firepot and burn area: Remove ash and ensure all air holes in the firepot are clear.
• Check fan performance: Inspect and clean the combustion fan. Replace if weak or noisy.
• Reduce heat loss: Use a GMG thermal blanket in cold weather and position the grill out of direct wind.
• Verify lid seal: Inspect lid alignment and gasket. Adjust hinges or replace gasket if there are visible gaps.
