Pellet grill cabinet or side shelf becomes excessively hot to touch

Safety first: Use heat‑resistant gloves when touching any part of a hot grill.

• Inspect internal shields: With the grill cool, verify all Nexgrill heat shields and baffles are installed correctly and not warped.
• Clear vents: Ensure side and rear vents are not blocked by objects or grease buildup.
• Avoid placing items on hot surfaces: Do not store plastic or flammable items on side shelves during high‑heat cooks.
• Replace warped parts: Replace any heat diffuser or shield that is visibly warped and redirecting heat.
