I have a 2017 2 Star with the new Funnel Flame Zone. If I change pit temp during a cook, it's typically to a higher temp, not lower. With that said, in the last couple of months, I have twice found myself cooking (grilling) at 450, and then wanting to kick the temp down to 300 to cook something different that required the lower cooking temp. Both times, I experienced a flame out. Upon closer inspection, I found the firepot to be completely filled with unburned pellets. It's almost as if the controller doesn't know how to properly bring the cooking chamber down in temp without suffocating the fire.
I am wondering if others (no matter the brand of pellet grill) have experienced this?
I am going to email MAK and see what they have to say.
