Pellets in hopper swell, crumble, or form clumps

Safety first: Ensure the grill is OFF and cool.

• Remove all pellets from the hopper and discard any that are soft, swollen, or crumbly.
• Vacuum the hopper and auger intake to remove dust and residue.
• Allow the hopper to dry completely; you can leave the lid open in a dry environment for several hours.
• Refill with fresh, dry pellets and always keep the hopper lid closed when not in use.

Warning: Do not attempt to dry wet pellets in the grill; they will not burn properly and can cause jams.
