Common Causes of High Temp Errors
A High Temp Error is exclusive to WiFIRE-enabled grills. It usually occurs when your grill's temperature reaches 550ºF/285ºC or higher for more than a few minutes. These errors are generally caused by excessive grease or ash buildup in the grill, or an improper startup. They may also be caused by cooking with a sear grate while the grill is set to 500°. The recommended temperature when using a sear grate is 475°.
