SmokeFire help

[Zach Paukert]

I have a second generation Smokefire EX6. I have loved it until recently. It is no longer reliably getting up to temperature. Sometimes, it will not rise about 275-300 when grilling at 400+. No matter if it gets to temperature or not, after about 10-15 minutes it starts to drop the temperature and I cannot raise it back. I have cleaned the smoker, replaced the igniter. Any ideas.

Pellet company doesn’t seem to make a difference

Try a new sensor probe.

Make sure the auger is cleaned.
Ive had some dust turn rock hard at the base and really mess everything up.
I will say Cabela’s pellets, recommended by the great Lew Newby, are rumored to be Weber’s and made by Lumberjack have been amazing.
Good luck.

Check your auger for egging at the pinhole

I know you said you cleaned your grill. But just double checking that you cleaned out the Burn Pot and the Grate in the bottom of the Burn Pot.
