I was wondering what would cause the firepot fill full of ash and clinkers in less than a twelve hour period? The ash builds up on the sides of the pot and the color of the ash in the firepot is brown in color. I have to breakup the build up with a scraper before it dumps into the pan. There are probably threads pertaining to this subject but maybe someone can assist me in any ideas. All i can think of is bad, crappy pellets.
