PG500 doors blew open 4 hour in.

K9 DexterMember

I have a PG500 and I have never had any issues. Yesterday I was 4 hours into a Boston but and the doors blow open with a boom. I looked inside and the fire pot was flaming, and the blower was on high. I powered off the unit cleaned the pot and restarted. It came back up to 225 but then the temp started going down. Fire pot was not lit so I put it in the oven to complete. I tried to start today, and it feeds pellets but doesn't ignite.

Please help.

Don't own a PG, but call CS on Monday and they will help.

If it was one of the regular smokers, I would call it the combustion gas belch. Quite loud and unexpected. It occurs when gases build up and then tonight. Not sure if that applies to pellet smokers.
