Chaff Collector

Roasting on the Bullet
1

I’ve been using the Aillio Bullet for about three years now, and recently I’ve noticed an issue with the chaff. It’s not getting collected properly in the chaff collector and is instead spilling outside during roasting.
I also see that some chaff is getting stuck near the drum edge (in the gap area) and is burning there.
I’m not sure what’s causing this—maybe an airflow or exhaust issue—but I wanted to check if you could guide me on what might be wrong and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can you give a bit more detail about this part? Spilling from where?

Chaff is not getting collected in the chaff collector. Instead of getting collected in the chaff collector it is falling on the floor

From the back of the roaster near the chaff collector?

Is it falling out of the rubber plug on the bottom of the collector, or is it falling from the surface where the chaff collector seal meets the exhaust fan?

Or someplace else?

First the usual stuff. You should check the airflow, which means the exhaust pipe, chaff filter, etc. You should clean the exhaust pipe with a long brush and also soak the chaff filter in sone baking soda. The thing you’re describing sounds a lot like a blockage somewhere in the airflow. Maybe try recalibrating the fan too, as a last resort. If not, let us know and someone will think of something.
