If you’re having trouble with your Z Grill not producing smoke, don’t worry. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue and get your grill smoking again.
Check the Pellets
The first thing you should do is check the pellets. Make sure you’re using high-quality pellets that are designed for your Z Grill.
Low-quality pellets or pellets that are not designed for your grill can cause issues with smoke production. Additionally, check if the pellets are wet or damp, as this can also cause problems with smoke production.
Clean the Grill
Another common issue with smoke production is a dirty grill. Make sure to clean the grill thoroughly, including the firepot, grates, and drip tray. Any buildup of grease or debris can affect the airflow and smoke production.
Check the Temperature
If your grill is not reaching the right temperature, it can also affect smoke production. Make sure to check the temperature settings and adjust as necessary. Additionally, if it’s cold outside, it may take longer for the grill to heat up and produce smoke.
Check the Fan
The fan is responsible for circulating air and smoke throughout the grill. If the fan is not working properly, it can affect smoke production. Check the fan to make sure it’s running and not blocked by any debris.
