I think turn it down a little for a little while and then hit the off button with lid down. Can a grease fire happen with the lid up?What’s the consensus on shutting down your grill with the lid open or closed? I’ve always turned it off and just left it closed but wondering if I’d be better off leaving it open to cool down faster.
That's when they really start blazing due to the extra air available but the lid open isn't the cause of them.@Mastertech59 can grease fires happen with lid up?
I would hate to have to waste a beer trying to put that grease fire out.????Well, lets say you hit the shutdown button, raise the lid, grab your beer and head in. I think if a grease fire was to start it would be better with the lid down. So I vote lid down @FTRecTec.
The grill does add pellets to the fire pot after the 5 minute fan running cycle when the grill is shut off, I'm thinking this is more to prevent burn back in the auger tube than priming the fire pot for the next cook, at times you may notice these pellets smoldering for awhile or completely burned up when cleaning the fire pot. When you turn on the grill it also adds pellets to the fire pot before the igniter starts.After I shut mine down, I noticed that there were still un-burned pellets in the pot when I was cleaning the grill. Does the auger come back on after the fire is put out, to bring fresh pellets in for the next cook?
