The grill never reaches high temperatures (e.g., cannot exceed 350°F).

Safety First: Turn off and cool the grill before deep cleaning.

Steps:

• Clean Internals: Remove grates, drip tray, and diffuser. Vacuum ash from the fire pot, burn chamber, and exhaust path.
• Inspect Fan and Vents: Clean the combustion fan blades and ensure that intake and exhaust vents are not blocked.
• Check Pellets: Use high-quality, dry hardwood pellets. Avoid blends with excessive bark or filler.
• Inspect Lid Seal: Check the lid for warping and ensure it closes evenly. Replace any worn gaskets if equipped.
