Grill overshoots set temperature by 50–100°F and struggles to stabilize.

Safety first: Allow the grill to cool if temperatures are excessively high.

• Step 1 – Clean RTD probe: Gently scrub the internal temperature probe with fine steel wool to remove soot.
• Step 2 – Adjust P-setting: In warm weather, increase P-setting slightly to reduce pellet feed at idle.
• Step 3 – Check for grease buildup: Clean the drip tray and grease channel to prevent flare-ups that can spike temperature.
• Step 4 – Compare with external thermometer: Use a reliable grill thermometer to verify actual temperature. If the controller reading is far off, consider replacing the RTD temperature probe or main control board.
