I have posted before, but I will recap my background. I got the 2 star about 2 weeks ago. I had issues with ash buildup using gourmet bbq pellets. I vacuumed the grill out and then did a chuck roast. Today I changed out the "blend" pellets for hickory and cooked ribeye on the high setting. I did not vacuum it out like I probably should have (I just don't feel this is something I should have to do before every cook). Nearing the end of my cook I got the fire alarm warning. I am a little concerned about that. Should I try BBQ'ers Delight pellets and see if I get different results? I wanted to reach out here before I contact Mak directly.
Update: The ribeyes turned out good. After the Mak cooled down I open it up and found ash cover the bottom on it again. There was a good amount in the fire pot as well.
