Possible Causes

Pellet hopper empty on Royal Gourmet grill, Excessive ash buildup in fire pot, Strong wind blowing into exhaust, Low voltage to igniter or fan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the grill off and unplug it. Allow it to cool before handling pellets or internal parts.

Steps to recover from flame-out:

  • Check pellet level: Refill the hopper with dry pellets if it ran empty.
  • Clean fire pot: Remove grates and baffle, then vacuum ash and unburned pellets from the fire pot and surrounding area.
  • Inspect fan and igniter: Confirm the combustion fan runs and the igniter glows during startup. Replace any failed components.
  • Shield from wind: If cooking in strong wind, reposition the grill or use a windbreak to prevent flame disturbance.
  • Restart properly: Follow the manufacturer’s startup procedure, including a priming cycle if required, to re-establish a stable fire.
