Fire Box Issue

[Tiger Gold]

Last night I was cooking and my fire box stopped working. I shut it the grill down and restarted. It seemed to work then. Anyone had a similar issue?

I have experienced this on both of my Traeger smokers. I learned this is the nature of pellet smokers. Be careful just restarting the smoker. If there are too many pellets in the fire pit it could cause a fast startup sending the temperature well above 500 degrees and low the lid open. They call this burping in pellet smoker world.

Thank you for the response. Good to know. I am fairly new to Taegering, so this very helpful.
