Gave up on my pellet bc of this possibility. I always caught it before it got that far but wasn’t worth the trouble.

I’ve seen so many of these videos specifically on the Pit Boss. Happened to my neighbor too.

That’s normal for pellet smokers

Am I the only one that keeps a fire extinguisher out while cooking? To be honest I’ve burnt some shit to the ground when I was younger.

This sub is flooded with hardware failures and grease fires and simultaneously flooded with people asking what do we have against pellet smokers.

Helps to clean your equipment now and then. Closing the lid would help too.

I had this happen on my camp chef pellet smoker. It still works but I stopped using it when I found a Green Mountain Grill smoker on sale that’s double the size of the camp chef.

If you close the lid the fire will snuff itself out

Should be able to fit a couple kabobs or dogs on there! Let it go down in glory like a captain with its ship!

I lost an expensive Traegar smoker like this. A faulty pellet auger and a whoosh of fresh air when the lid opened. Engulfed into a huge fireball. It was impossible to extinguish even with a large fire extinguisher. We had to let the pellets and grease take over. Just like trying to put out one of those wind proof matches. Mine couldn’t be salvaged.

Use that side for searing.
You should put that closer to your house. 🫡
Did you forget to clean out your ash box?
Reminder to all to clean out the grease trap.
