Last night my 340 caught on fire. I turn it on to 350° and it slowly arrived at the temp. Started grilling some burgers and noticed the temp had dropped to 300°. A few minutes later it was down to 220°. I removed the burgers and brought them inside. Thought I’d leave the grill on to see if it would come back up the correct temp. A few minutes later I noticed that it was suddenly 400° and quickly rising. I went out and opened the lid and there were flames coming out about 6 feet high. I grabbed the fire extinguisher (because the grill is on a covered deck) and extinguished the fire. This morning I went out to clean everything up and started the grill again. It started, the auger was working and pellets were dropping into the pot. Everything seemed to be working fine...it got to the set temp (280°). However, after a few minutes, it went up to 379° and then dropped down to 220°. This cycle went on for about 30 minutes before I finally shut it off. I’ve already replaced the electronic controller and fan. I’ve also been using Kingsford pellets as recommended to me by RecTeq. As of now, I’m afraid to use it.
Anyone have any ideas or similar situations?
Thanks
