Hey all. Quick question that can hopefully be solved by someone since RT's support wasn't super helpful. Last couple times I've fired up my 340...it gets to temp...then I can hear it keep feeding pellets into the burn pot, and then I will get an alert that I am over temp. and I can tell that the burn pot is on fire, eventually the fan will get it under control, but then the temp will dip way below the desired temp..basically if I want 225...it will get hot up to 300 or so, then cool down to about 185 and keep doing this. If I let it go long enough, it will correct itself and then steady out. But A) I don't always have the time to wait for this, and B) I am a little worried the fire in the burn pot could eventually feed back into the auger/hopper and create a bigger problem. Has anyone experienced this, and what can I do to solve it? RT's support just told me to check my pellet size and feed rate...but that hasn't really solved anything. I am hoping to cook two pork butts this weekend for my sons birthday party but I have to do it overnight so I don't really want to stress about it
