Hey Nate...sorry to hear you had a breakdown while you were cooking for guests...that sucks. The hot rod is the part that most often needs replaced on most pellet rigs. I've had to replace the one in my Rec Tec only once in 2 1/2 years...but I know of others who've had to do it more often. It's a high-use part with a limited life expectancy. Pretty easy to swap out though...it took me about 15 minutes to be back in business...now I keep a new one on hand as a spare...just in case it goes out at a bad time like yours did.
Hi, I have a Chargriller model 9020 and have had it for slightly over a year now and love it. Decided to have some family over for a BBQ this last Sunday and as soon as guests started showing up the grill stopped running and the controller was blank. Not having had this happen before I didn't realize there was a fuse on the controller so I waited until Monday morning to contact customer support. Yep sure enough a fuse so easy fix well that was simple but now my hot rod doesn't work so maybe the igniter caused the fuse on the controller to blow not sure. So for the low low price of $37 I ordered a replacement hot rod which should be here early next week. Doesn't look that difficult to install a new one so wish me luck.
Smokin Monkey, thanks for the comment the top shelf brackets are welded in not bolted down.
