TROUBLESHOOTING

Please read the following before calling our Pit Boss Customer
Service department.

ASSEMBLY PROBLEMS

1. Do not over-tighten bolts. Only tighten all bolts with moderate
pressure to avoid damaging the bolts or components of the
ceramic charcoal barbecue.
2. Thermometer won't read. Call Customer Service.
3. Damper won't slide. Tap the damper lightly with a rubber
hammer to loosen. If no improvement, call Customer Service.

FIRE PROBLEMS

1. If you have trouble lighting the barbecue, ensure that both the
top and bottom vents are open. The fire needs oxygen to catch.
Once it has caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about
10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
2. The barbecue may quickly lose fire if there is not enough charcoal
in the ceramic body. The recommended use of lump charcoal is a
maximum of 4lbs per burn.
Be sure not to overload the unit with fuel. If the fire is too
intense, the excessive heat could damage the ceramic charcoal
barbecue.
3. To prevent any back-draft or flare-ups that may cause injury, it is
well advised to lift the lid only slightly (also known as burping),
which allows air to enter slowly and safely.

FINISHING PROBLEMS

1. The paint is chipped on the ceramic. Use the touch-up paint
provided. If chipping is substantial, call Customer Service.
2. The spider-web pattern of cracking is different from a break in
the aspect that it cannot be felt on the surface, unless using
a fingernail; however, it does become more visually apparent
when the surface is dusty or magnified. While these may appear
as imperfections, crazing does not affect the performance or life
span of your ceramic charcoal barbecue. The process of crazing
effectively increases the toughness of the unit.
3. Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its long-
term operation and care. If the first burns are too hot, they
could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance
to mature with use.
If the lid gets stuck, or sealed, together with the base, use a
knife to carefully unseal and cut off the felt gasket that trims
the lid opening. Once removed, you will be able to open the lid.
Before continuing to use the unit, replace the high-heat felt
