Grill produces excessive white smoke and struggles to burn pellets cleanly.

Safety first: Keep the lid closed if smoke is heavy to avoid flare-ups; turn the grill OFF if necessary.

• Clean fire pot: Remove ash and excess pellets so only a thin layer remains.
• Check air inlets and exhaust: Ensure intake vents and chimney/exhaust are clear of grease and obstructions.
• Use dry pellets: Replace pellets if they appear swollen or crumbly.
• Verify fan speed: Listen for strong, steady airflow. If the fan is weak, test and replace it.

Proper airflow and dry fuel should restore clean-burning operation.
