Hello. I just purchased a used FEC100. I was cooking wings the other day @ 450* (my first try using it) and I noticed my temp started to lower. I checked the hopper and watched the last few pellets slide down the chute. I wasn't sure if you could add pellets while it's running when it runs out like that, so I shut it down. I then tried refiring it and all I got was heavy smoke and slowly lowering temps. I went ahead and pulled out the wings and finished in the oven.
I went out today and kind felt around the fire pot and felt some pellets in there so I figured let's try again. Same results, all smoke, no heat. What do y'all suggest?
Thanks, Rick
