PBV4PS2 pellet jam?

[fwdunbar88]

A few weeks back, I started a cook on my PBV4PS2 pellet smoker (I call her "Pearl") instead of my offset because I had "honey-do" errands to run all day. I could see from my app while I was out that the smoker stopped running. Returning home, there were a bunch of pellets in the pot where they should have been burning and they were intact. Looks like it flamed out? I'm just getting back to where I can address this and am wondering the best way to restart this...do I need to do a new "burn off" process like I did when the smoker was new, or what is the best option?

Welcome from east Texas to the group.
I’d just make sure it’s clean and use it

The only time that I had something similar happened to my vertical, was when pellet dust clogged intake to the burn pot. I had to clean that out of there to get things working again. Since then I haven’t had a problem.

Howdy, fwdunbar88. My kids went to school in Katy, and now we're just south of you at 723 and Bellaire.
