Lots of people here (most people here) will tell you to stagger your temps down before shutting the shutdown process. For me, I just start the shutdown as soon as I'm finished cooking, and leave the lid open for the 5 full minutes of the fan blowing, then shut the lid when it switches to turning the auger. I've done every single cook on my 590 in this manner and have never had any backburn issues or anything bad happen, I am pretty neurotic about cleaning my grill though and I vacuum the firepot basically every 3rd cook, regardless of how long the cooks were. YMMV though, as tons of other people swear by staggering their temps down.So we did our burn in earlier in the day and I lowered the temp to 200 before shutting down. Went to sear some steaks and it took 10+ to ignite/temp to come up. Is this normal? Should I not lower the temp before shutting down?
Yeah I'm just curious why it took 10 minutes. I've read there have been issues with the ignitor rod placement but maybe it was a one off as we haven't used it a lot yet.Lots of people here (most people here) will tell you to stagger your temps down before shutting the shutdown process.

That would be the culprit I would suspect. If your fan is blowing, and the auger is turning, its got to be an ignition issue IMO.Yeah I'm just curious why it took 10 minutes. I've read there have been issues with the ignitor rod placement but am hoping thats not it.
Assuming that you were starting you grill from cold, just 10+ minutes to sear temp is great performance. I let my grill’s pre-heat for at least 20 minutes to allow the temperature to stabilize.So we did our burn in earlier in the day and I lowered the temp to 200 before shutting down.

Probably not in this thread.Where can I find a 380x black edition? Looking everywhere!
Occasionally, my Bullseye takes 10 minutes or more to ignite the pellets. RecTeq CS says this is normal. After cooking a frozen pizza at 425°, I lower the temp to 250° for 10-15 minutes before shutting it down.So we did our burn in earlier in the day and I lowered the temp to 200 before shutting down.

Yep I talked to them too and they said the same thing. They said theres no need to lower the tempOccasionally, my Bullseye takes 10 minutes or more to ignite the pellets.

“They” say a lot of things and most of it is not convincing for me. Not a Bullseye, but my 700 takes about 2-3 minutes to light the pellets max and the start up smoke is clearing. FWIW. Now ramping up to 400+ weather not playing in, I can see 10 minutes, start to 400 easy on my 700. I may have misinterpreted to OP question but I thought it was time to get the pellets on fire?Yep I talked to them too and they said the same thing. They said theres no need to lower the temp
Ya our BFG is right away and so was our 700. Bullseye is different but still think 10 min is a bit much“They” say a lot of things and most of it is not convincing for me.

My SIL agrees on his OG 380, if it had been awhile since he used it, it does take a good while even up to 20 mins to get a snarl of smoke.Ya our BFG is right away and so was our 700. Bullseye is different but still think 10 min is a bit much
I'm a believer in staggering the temp down if I've been at a high temp. The reason is metal doesn't really like sudden temp changes. My Flagship 1400XL is about 8 months old now and it comes to temp is a reasonable time, and holds temps rock steady.So we did our burn in earlier in the day and I lowered the temp to 200 before shutting down.
