There is a huge amount of smoke
ByZ Grills
Excess smoke may occur if the firepot is overfilled with pellets and they ignite. This most commonly occurs if there is a large accumulation of ash in the firepot, which inhibits the normal operation of the ignition rod. To prevent this, vacuum out your firepot between every few cooks.
