I was using my YS640 S with the Fireboard controller, ceramic igniter and all available upgrades to do a smoke on a large pork butt and it took longer than I expected. After 9 hours I noticed that the pit temperature was dropping fast and realized the pellet hopper was empty. I quickly added pellets and heard them dropping into the burn chamber, but I was too late. The fire had gone out and the temp kept dropping.. I unplugged my Yoder and waited a few minutes and then started everything over again. Is there a better way to reignite the fire if you run empty in the middle of a cook? Thanks.
