Okay RecTeq nation, I could use a little help. While cooking some salmon yesterday I experienced my first “lid pop” or explosion. Still unsure what caused this, maybe I had pellets bridging over the auger or possibly damp pellets. Seems like everything was fine after the episode and the Flagship ran normally. After the cook was completed I vacuumed the ash out of the fire pot and the area around it. Also emptied the hopper and vacuumed that area too. Going forward I will probably do this after every cook, put a handful of pellets in the fire pot before firing it up, start the grill up with the lid open, close the lid when everything appears normal with the auger and fan both functioning, let the temperature come up to 180-200 then hold there or increase to whatever that day’s temperature requires.
Am I missing something or overreacting on this? I just want to avoid this from happening again.
Thank you in advance RecTeq nation for all your insights and helpful advice.
