When my bullseye was new, I cleaned the fire box after 4 cooks. I used a shop vacuum and had a few unburned pellets but little of no ash. Since then, I have probably cooked 50 times without cleaning the fire box. It starts every time in minutes. What I want to know is will it just quit working or is this normal? A second question: When I set the temp at 200 I never get 200. It always goes up to 225 or sometimes 250. Needless to say, I don't get much smoke flavor. I have a smoke tube and will start experimenting with it soon.
So, my question again, is will the igniter just quit without waring or do these igniters work forever? Thanks for any ideas. Gil
