Grill parts

A burn pot is the basket, tray, or cupped area where the pellets burn. Some burn pots are complete and some use a burn pot and burn pot liner combination. Burn pots do wear out! Inspect yours. Does it have a crack in the bottom or on the backside? Is it pitted, a maroon color or missing parts of metal? Is your igniter getting hot but failing to ignite the pellets? These are signs of a warped burn pot that may need to be replaced.
