Grill produces excessive white smoke and sooty residue on food.

Safety first: Operate the grill outdoors in a well-ventilated area only.

Steps to improve combustion:

• Clean firepot and burn area: Remove all ash and unburned pellets from the firepot.
• Verify fan operation: Confirm the combustion fan runs continuously during cooking. Replace if weak or intermittent.
• Check exhaust: Clean the chimney and any internal baffles to ensure free airflow.
• Use quality pellets: Switch to premium, food-grade hardwood pellets without additives.
