Smoke mode flame out

(1/3) > >>

smokymtnjonny:
Laying some smoke on some already pulled pork and checking every 20 min. It was working like a champ for about 3 hours. I go to check again and the fire is out. I check the firepot and it has filled with pellets that didn’t ignite. So, that tells me the auger didn’t jam and the controller didn’t malfunction. I cleaned out the firepot and restarted and it’s back to working fine. Any ideas as to what might have happened?

hughver:
If your controller has P settings, lower the P sittings.

smokymtnjonny:
It’s the old 3 speed controller, so smoke mode is auger runs 1 minute - off 3 minutes.

Bentley:
Motor is probably going out and you are not getting the correct revolutions per minute you should!

smokymtnjonny:
Bentley, thanks for that idea! How many rpm’s should it be turning?
