I was doing a 10-hour smoke and 3/4 the way there the smoker quit making heat. No er.code so I unplugged it and did a restart and it couldn't reach 225. Also the red /blue flame doesn't work like it did when new , no blue flame. I cleaned the temp probe , removed the auger , cleaned up everything the best I could and it happened again. Looks like it has a hard time lighting the pellets. How hot does the igniter get? My digital ir thermo is saying 110 degrees. I would like to use the smoker for Thanksgiving but I'm a little bit scared . Any help will be appreciated
Not holding temperature

First question is how often you clean the grill and the temperature sensor?
Both play a roll in temperature’s
I clean mine after each cook
If you’ve done that you probably have a controller issue
Hopefully this helps you

Ignitor should get to around 1000 degrees.

Here is some info Pit Boss sent me. They told me the wiring is the same for all all grills
