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

Safety first: Let the grill cool to a safe temperature before touching the probe.

• Clean RTD probe: Gently wipe the temperature probe inside the cook chamber with a soft cloth and mild degreaser to remove baked-on grease.
• Check probe mounting: Ensure the probe is firmly attached to the side wall and not touching grates or metal surfaces that heat faster than the air.
• Avoid frequent lid opening: Opening the lid repeatedly can cause the controller to overfeed pellets trying to recover temperature.
• Controller reset: Power cycle the grill to reset the control logic. If overshoot persists, the control board may need recalibration or replacement.
