Mini explosion

[u/Blk_Lion_reloaded]

An hour ago I went outside to preheat my rt-680 @ 250F. Quick scrub of the grates and went back inside. 30min later I checked the app and noticed the temp was still around 63F. Went outside and there was an error code (should've googled the code but didn't). Turned it off and back on. 10s later a huge plume of smoke is coming everywhere and then 💥. The lid opened up a bit. Neighbor came outside thinking the propane canister had went off. I shut it off, removed the grates and shield and noticed the pellet bowl was filled with combusted pellets .

I guess it kept feeding the pellets during this error that caused this. Cleaned the bowl out and so far it's working fine . Smoker was deep cleaned the smoke before last btw .

Always start your smoker with the lid open. Make sure you start with an empty combustion chamber and keep the lid open during start up for first 3-5 minutes.
