I have been running in to this the past few cooks I have done. This morning I cleaned out the fire box (used a shopvac to suck up all overflown pellets and ashes from existing cooks) I put new pellets in and when I came back to check on it the unit wasn't heating. I opened the firepit door and it looked like all of my pellets had fallen down the chute. I will say that the pellets I am using seem to be kind of shitty. Most of them are broken and in small pieces. I was wondering if this could be the reason. It seems the last few times I have tried to fire it up there is always an abundance of fresh pellets in the firebox. It's like they just overload. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
