Problem Reason Investigation/Solution If the grill is operated with the lid open for an extended period of time the set temperature will not be reached and too many pellets may be delivered into the Fire-pot. Once the lid is shut the temperature can shoot up to very high levels (too many pellets burning) causing a high temperature error.
