Ranger Startup Tips to Avoid Overheating
- Upon startup, set the controller temperature toSMOKE, leaving the lidopenuntil the temperature on the smoke peaks.
- Peak means it slows down and stalls on a temperature and stays there; however, this temperature will vary based on the outside temperature.
- Once the temperature peaks, shut the lid and leave onSMOKE for an additional 10 minutes. The temperature will typically overshoot to approximately 200°F (remember, overshooting is normal) and then correct itself back down to approximately 160°F. This fluctuation may repeat, but it should settle after one or two fluctuations..
- If the temperature stays calm after 10 minutes:
- Increase the controller to the desired temperature and allow it to preheat completely.
- If the grill overshoots above 200°F:
- Open the lid again to let out some heat until the temperature drops to 150°F.
- Shut the lid.
- Observe if the temperature regulates.
- If the temperature doesn't regulate, seeAC Grill Running too Hotto troubleshoot further.
- If the temperature stays calm after 10 minutes:
