Possible Causes

Restricted combustion air, Wet or oily pellets, Combustion fan running too slowly, Firepot overloaded with pellets

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF and unplug the grill before cleaning or inspecting the firepot and fan.

  • Use dry, quality pellets: Replace pellets with a fresh, dry batch from a sealed bag.
  • Clean firepot and air passages: Remove ash and ensure all air holes are open. Check the air channel from the combustion fan to the firepot for obstructions.
  • Inspect combustion fan speed: Confirm the fan runs strongly. If it is slow or noisy, replace the Timberwolf Combustion Fan Assembly.
  • Avoid overloading: Do not run the grill with the lid open for extended periods at high feed rates, which can cause pellet pileups and smoldering.
