It is the 2500. I don’t know what their warranty position would be, but unless they come to a cookout at my house, I don’t think they’ll be aware. In all seriousness, if there was a structural issue near the hole I could understand not covering it. If it’s a control shelf / auger / etc, issue...

Due to lightning strikes, I unplug anytime I’m not using them. I‘ve blown a couple boards just by being plugged in, not on.

It’s an adjustable aquarium pump.

I lost a smoker once after a lightning strike blew the board. I always unplug now.

Magnum P.I.G. on my BFG. My wife told me that it was the 1st time that she had ever tasted the hickory from a pellet smoker.

Or another source of smoke. 😎

My BFG holds temp too well, apparently. It’s an odd conundrum. I got rid of a 6mo Timberline XL because I commonly had ~50 degree temp swings. It did, however, produce a ton of smoke. The BFG holds temps like a rock, but has no smoke other than on startup. It appears the efficiency of the PID...

Thank you!

Have you cooked solely with the competition pellets without issue since noticing the problem? Could you possibly have a build up of dust in the hopper/auger?

Same brand of pellets?

I like to smoke the eye on low for an hour or so before adding garlic/rosemary/thyme, vacuum sealing and dropping into a sous vide bath at 131 for 30 hours. Into an ice bath and then fridge overnight before throwing on the slicer. You’ll never buy roast beef again.
