Had this backyard beast for about 3 weeks now. Been cleaning it religiously after each cook and decided to do some ribs and lamb shanks today. Well, I followed recteqs beef rib instructions of smoking at 250 for 3 hours, then bumping it to 375 for 30 minutes. Well, grease fire started and it’s still not out. Damn near completely ruined my beef ribs and deff ruined the paint on my door and seal around my handle. Going to reach out to them on Monday to see if they’ll make it right, this sucks.

What are their instructions and what caused the flair up?
How would these instructions cause that precisely?

A grease fire is not their fault. This is user error. Sorry man, buy a can of high heat black spray paint. Fix your problem and try again next weekend.

Sounds more like operator error than anything. I’ve cooked everything you can think of at every temp there is on my 1100 and have never had a grease fire.
I’d figure out how grease managed to travel to the fire pot. Is your deflector installed correctly? Is the grill level?

You always put the fattest product closest to the drain. The fat pooling up on your foil will cause a grease fire 🔥

Blaming the manufacturer for a grease fire is quite the way to do.
