Hey everyone,
I've read a few posts similar to mine but I have an additional questions regarding hopper smoke after a hot cook.
Based on other threads' response I understand the move is to lower the grill temp to roughly 200 after a hot cook to avoid pellets continuing to combust and smolder up the auger tube and of course into the hopper itself.
This has only happened to me once, after my last cook. I pulled most of the pellets out the hopper - none burned, but definitely smells like smoke in the hopper.
My questions is, long in short, should I be concerned for my auger or auger tube feeding the pellets now? I am going to do a simple trial smoke tomorrow to check on everything to make sure it is OK, but something I am possibly overthinking.
Like I said none of the pellets in the hopper burned, but the pellets as well as the hopper for sure smelled like smoke after noticing a lot of smoke in the hopper itself. Just hoping the auger is still ok.
Thanks for your time and please let me know y'all's thoughts on this.
