Possible Causes

P-setting configured too low on Royal Gourmet controller, Small pellet size reducing feed volume, Excessive heat loss from thin-walled cook chamber, Cold ambient temperatures

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Adjust settings only when the grill is stable and you can safely access the control panel.

Steps to adjust:

  • Review manual: Consult your Royal Gourmet pellet grill manual for P-setting or feed rate adjustment instructions.
  • Increase P-setting: If the controller allows, increase the P-value (or equivalent) one step at a time to increase pellet feed during idle cycles.
  • Use a grill blanket: In cold weather, use an insulated blanket designed for pellet grills to reduce heat loss.
  • Monitor results: After each adjustment, run the grill at a known setpoint and compare actual temperature with a reliable thermometer.
