I have a new Austin XL. I tried the 1st burn & afterwards found everything in the chamber (including the cooking grates) covered with ash & soot. I cleaned everything off & tried it again with the chimney cap unscrewed 7 turns. (Was told by customer service to try that). I just tried another burn & found ash/soot coating everything again. Currently, I'm not too happy & I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Was the fan constantly running during burn in phase?

[@44TONTO]

​@@darktoadone5068 Yes it was.

[@thespig13]

Do you have all three parts installed correctly? I havent have any trouble with mine at all

[@rallwest]

It's likely that you didn't turn the dial to HIGH as it says in the manual. I did the same thing but caught it when I went and read the instructions manual while doing my initial burn-off. Could that have been the case?

Hello friend, I have an Austin XL. It’s no need to hold the prime button just press it one time and it will feed pellets.

[@dyinbreedbbq7758]

Awesome another proud Austin XL owner

[@rallwest]

The manual says to "push and hold"... for priming. It temporarily accelerates the auger to either "fill the void more rapidly" or to "increase the amount of pellets inside the burn chamber."

[@npijchiaify]

mine keeps tripping out my outlet

[@efrainoronia]

Try a different pellet brand. I read if you use a pellet that had alot of bark or any bark it'll leave your pellet grill with alot of ash. Best of luck I'll be trying lumberjack pellets here soon.

My first try the pro series 1100 started a fire. It fed to many pallets. I shuted down and after that i couldn't get any power on my display board. I may need to replace it. Not to happy not all. Shocks

[@MrMrSaldana]

In the pittboss assembly video they recomend to just grab a handful of pellets and put it on smoke and stsrtnit like that..idk..alsonjust watched a video saying its extremely important that the prime is pressed ect ect...idk..i got the fire burning my pellets and im turning it to 450 i guess for a bit..i smell the oils ect burning..yuk

[@RealQuesoDog]

Just got this grill and wondering, when you turn the power off and it is still plugged in, is the fan supposed to keep running?

[@dyinbreedbbq7758]

The fan will continue to run for about 5 minutes after the unit has been turned off. This is part of the cool down process

[@meghanpeachey8034]

Yeah it's cooling down to shut off. Let it keep running and it will shut down itself.

Have my new pitt boss Pit Boss 700FB coming tomorrow, I'm going to throw a big lump of (fat trimmings) on the grate 'after the paint burns off', and cook it bout an hour.. it will prime that son of a bitch up really nice...then i'm good to go.
