Coyote Outdoor Living covers more kinds of grill than most makes in its price class: C-Series, CL-Series and SL-Series gas heads, a pellet grill in 28 and 36-inch sizes, a stainless gas-and-charcoal hybrid, and carts for them. The SL adds a rear infrared burner and a Rapid Sear infrared burner. We confirm the model before anything else, because a Coyote visit may be about a gas valve, a pellet auger or a touchscreen.

We work on Coyote C-Series (C3C30, C3C34), CL-Series (C3CL36, C3CL42) and SL-Series (C3SL30, C3SL36, C3SL42) gas grills, the C1P and C2P pellet grills and the C3HY50 hybrid, built in or on Coyote carts. Knob lights, thermocouple valves and sear burners depend on the series. ### Thermocouple valves on the CL and SL CL and SL grills have safety valves with thermocouples on the main and rear burners, so the knob has to be held in for six to ten seconds after the burner catches. A burner that dies the moment the knob is released usually has a thermocouple that is not heating, and we check its position and cleanliness first. ### A spring-loaded spark in the valve Turning a Coyote knob winds a spring inside the valve that fires the igniter with a click. Coyote warns that turning too fast leaves the spark ahead of the gas and turning too slowly lets gas build up, so the way the knob is turned matters before any part is suspected. ### A pellet grill run from a touchscreen The Coyote pellet grill feeds pellets with an electric auger into a burner pot lit by a heating element, with two fans moving heat and smoke. Its screen shows status icons and alarms rather than numbered codes, and its settings sit behind a four-digit password. ### Sear burners you can add, two at most Main burners on the CL and SL can be exchanged for sear burners, but Coyote allows no more than two in any size of grill. When we find three, or a sear burner without its thermocouple clipped in place, that is corrected before anything else. Parts Coyote parts follow the series and size of the grill, and the pellet grill manuals number each part, from the auger to the temperature probe (C1P00005). The model plate is read before anything is ordered, since C-Series, CL and SL heads differ inside. Repair or replace Valves, thermocouples, burners and transformers on a Coyote gas grill are routine repairs. On the pellet grill, repeated jams usually come down to pellets, the burner pot or the auger, all of which can be fixed; a controller that stops responding is the larger decision, and we rule out power and wiring before calling it. Book your Coyote visit ## What we are called out for. On Coyote, most often gas grill won't light: knob on, clicking, no flame.

On CL and SL grills the valve only stays open once its thermocouple is hot, so keep the knob pressed on High for six to ten seconds after the flame appears. If it still goes out, the thermocouple may need cleaning or adjusting, which is a visit. ### How many sear burners can a Coyote grill take? Two at most, on the CL and SL series. Coyote says only two can be installed safely in any size of grill. ### Why are the knob lights on my Coyote dark? The knob lights on CL and SL models and the hood lights run from a transformer that plugs into a socket on the left side of the grill and into a standard outlet. Check both plugs and the outlet; the C3C34 has no knob lights at all. ### Does the Coyote pellet grill show error codes? It shows status icons and alarms rather than numbered codes: a red flame while the igniter works, a Low Temp Alarm, an Overheat Alarm and Cooldown Mode, plus a Temperature Warning screen on the older C1P grills. Each one has its own page on this site. --- **[Read on the site: Coyote Grill Repair | BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/brands/coyote/)** **[Book a visit with BBQGrillRepair.center](https://bbqgrillrepair.center/schedule/)**
