Alright so I made that rookie mistake!!
Did a burnin and after that made a pizza at 400 yesterday. All well and good. Didn’t know its not that simple to turn off this thing. I just pulled the plug and ate my pizza.
Today, i wanted to make some food and started it at 400. After sometime, i noticed the temp is still at 80. Nothing was going on so I opened the lid and it was heating. Waited some more and the temp was still at 80 but there was excessive smoke and fire in the pot. Got scared and turned it off. Again made the mistake to pull the plug.
Then i realized its not going down fast enough so I turned it on and then turned it off properly. It did its 300 seconds and 30 sec auger. I pulled the plug after that. There was still a lot of smoke.. like a lot. I kept waiting and took about 20-30 min for things to cool down.
This is my first pellet grill and I felt a little helpless to contain the smoke and fire. With my charcoal kettle, i know how to suffocate it. Pellet grill made me nervous.
Things that i did not understand is that why the temp was stuck at 80.
Also kinda miss an external gauge to see the temp after turning off the grill.
I decided in the end to not cook today. Tomorrow is another day! I plan to dump ash and try again.
