Bullseye Burn back

[wstory34]

Bought a new bullseye with wifi and had previously owned an rt 340 and an rt 700. I have enjoyed my grills but this new one will burn pellets back into the auger tube when grill is tuned off. Next start up you have to turn grill on and off three times to get fresh pellets into pot so grill starts. Has anyone has the problem with new improved bullseye?

I don’t have a new Bullseye, but have made a practice (recommended by RT) of dropping a handful of pellets into the burn pot on the RT-340 before starting up. That provides enough fresh fuel for the ignitor to get things going without a problem. Might work on the new RT-380X as well.

I’m guessing you are doing higher heat cooks And turning it off from the higher setting. I’d suggest that when you finish a cook you turn it down to a low temp, once it gets there turn it off.

To the original poster, this ^^^^^ is excellent advice. I follow this rule on both my 700 and 380X. This will help prevent any backburn.

Agree with Padlin00 and Beach Bum. Worked for my 380 .

I have to do this on my older bullseye also. Turn down to 250 for 15-20 min then shut down.
