Heres my problem with my PB 1250CS: the startup cycle is long. The igniter won’t start up until 15 minutes later. I have pellets even touching it. It only goes up to 110. 135 when the igniter is buried in pellets. Then eventually the temp goes down, and it’ll throw a ErL code. I have the burn pot cleaned, the airways open, grill probe clean, fan is working, and the auger feeds pellets like it should. I’m thinking it’s the igniter itself. Also, it was 0 degrees this morning when I tried it, but I’ve done that before so I’m not sure.

Thx bud! I really appreciate this video. I bought it a week ago. Been cooking all week. Now today it keeps tripping.

Thanks for the info! Exact grill, less than 2 weeks old and Doing the same thing. Very informative.

Love my PB Austin XL, the last time i had to take it apart from heavy rain, ( forgot to cover it) .. i got it back together and plugged it in, something wasn't right so i grabbed the internal plugs to make sure it was good.... lit my azz up. 100% my bad. UNPLUG it every time

Great video. I have the same grill. I’ve tried to smoke a brisket twice on it and it has gone through a complete full box of pellets in 4 hrs on both of them. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. A light just went off though watching your video. If you are smoking, do you have to put it on smoke during the start up process? That could be my problem. If not I don’t know. I need advice. Thanks

That hard beer belly is legend.

I don't really drink beer but the next youtube video I make I am going to hold a miller lite throughout the video in your honor.

I found that the plastic plugs that the igniter plugs into are interior quality, I put in a new igniter and it still did not work, had to clean out the plugs with some polishing compound and a q tip, put some dilectric grease on them and all is well

Great job

What happens when you replace the igniter and the new one goes bad after one use?

Just bought my Austin XL this past weekend. It wouldn't lite. The igniter was never put into the ash pot! Was a quick fix, would have been quicker had I seen this! I did a video of the assembly, check it out.

Gotta love the "muricans, ........we'll just go ahead and drink this beer real quick and see if something electrical starts on fire. LOL

I just replaced my igniter and its still not working. What else should I check next

That was a good video, and now I can fix mine. It's been down for months, and I really miss it. Thanks brother, God bless.

How do you get the blasted screws off the bottom of control panel? We've used pb blaster and still won't budge

Just got one of these because it didn’t work. Does the induction fan come on as soon as you power it up or only after it heats to temperature?

I had the same problem. I replaced my ignitor and now it runs for about 5 min and shuts off??? Has anyone else had this problem?

Screw the ignighter. My burned out so just put a little lighter fluid and pellets in burn box and away we go.

I saw your grease bucket liner, where did you buy it? I want a good quality bucket and liner too!

It was tripping breaker or GFCI?

I'm having a problem with my igniter not working. I replaced it with brand new igniter and it worked for maybe 5 minutes. Then stopped working. Turned it off cleaned all out. Restarted and feeds correctly but no heat in the igniter. Anyone else have this problem and figure it out?

Mine isn’t feeding pellets anymore

You still smoking on that beauty?

My Lone Star Grillz offset will NEVER have this problem.

buy a wood grill, or gas, much better. IDK. No GFI or anything.
