In the middle of cooking, I accidentally let the pellet box run dry. As the cooking temp dropped due to lack of fuel, I added more pellets. It appears that the augur is speeding up to “catch up” to the temperature, and ends up overloading the fire box. This resulted in significant smoke, pellets overflowing the fire box, and a less than desirable outcome.
Has this happened to others? I’ve cooked many butts and ribs on my 590 with no issue but am perplexed. Other than stopping the cook and cleaning the fire box and making sure there is enough fuel to not run out, any tips to fix the issue when it happens? Lower the temp and ease it back up?
Thanks in advance.
