    Did you check the blinker fluid canister?

    Ignitor issue on a brand new pit boss that’s never been used?

    My Trager does that from time to time, something with auger getting too many pellets, idk, i usually unplug it wait a few minutes and plug it back in. Sometimes I have to unclog the auger

    Did it come with any “pre-cook” steps?

    Mine only does this when it’s out of pellets

    I also bought a pit boss from Lowes, about 3 months ago. It’s been a massive headache. After about 15 calls they’re finally sending me a new control panel.

    I bought one out of a garage. Brand new, and clearly never used but fully assembled. Most likely a floor model. It had the same error. I called Pit Boss and they sent me a new controller. No charge, fast shipping and no questions asked. It has worked perfectly ever since.

    Bought a Pit Boss from Lowe’s years ago and they switched plugs on the control panel (fan and auger plugs were switched). I’d open up and check the wiring.

    I bought a Pit Boss from Lowes this summer, and also got frustrated.

    The issue with mine was the Err meant not enough pellets to start the fire. You have to press and hold the priming button a million times to manually move the auger to get the pellets from the feed to the burn pit.

    Look up a video on priming a pit boss smoker for the first time.

    This was my issue – ymmv
