As i messaged in another post. I decided to pick up a weber kettle grill for a change up. A little different flavor and style of cooking. Honestly, i think the Kettle Pizza attachment was my draw.
Well my girl (Bull-700) must of noticed she had company on the patio. When i tried to reverse sear some steaks today i went out to a clean pit, put in fresh pellets, had a clean deflector, new foil on drip pan and i fired her up. I went inside and watched the temp. it went from 38 to 53 or so and then i watched it for 15 minutes or so... and it wasn't climbing (was on a work call). Finally ran out and found my pellet hopper pouring smoke out like the fire was in the pellets. No smoke in the pit or chimney. I shut it down... Cleaned up all of the ash in the drum and there was a lot... put some more pellets in the fire pot and fired it back up and it was fine (i wasn't fine as it took over an hour for cool down, clean up and re-fire - making dinner 90 minutes late).
So... my girl was clearly pissed at me for buying the Weber Kettle... but any ideas other than that for the misfire? It was essentially smoldering and the pellet chamber was full of ash. I cleaned it out after last clean and added fresh pellets? Any idea what could cause a clean Bull to flame out like this?
Thanks...
