I didn’t catch this video 2 weeks ago when I got my first Vertical Pellet Smoker. Well that one was great except the Programable Probe wasn’t working. I did leave a comment at the time requesting help. I called Pitboss and the guy told me they instruct people with warranty concerns NOT to return to place of purchase (Lowes) but to contact Pit Boss. He said in this case to call Lowes because some of the units went out with faulty control panel and was quicker to just replace the smoker than wait for control panel to install. My replacement PBV4PS2 arrived today and I was able to do the burn off. Thanks

Burning off chemicals or oil from the manufacturer those things burn at a certain temperature if it burns at 350° it’s going to burn at 350°. It’s not like turn it up to 700° will burn even more of it. No it already burned at 350°. I hope that makes sense. It’s like when we cook meat if I’m supposed to cook it slowly at 225° I should cook it slowly at 225°. Yes I could cook it at a higher temperature, but I would be wasting fuel. In the case of meat you could actually mess up the meat as well. Not likely with a Grill burning off something at a higher temperature doesn’t do anything to the girl, but you’re just wasting fuel.

I'm assuming if the pit is designed to achieve a certain temp then it is also designed to tolerate that temp. Since pellet smokers are pretty dang efficient, I feel like if 350 will get the job done they higher will guarantee it's done. Plus I had just cleaned it with some strong chemicals. I wanted to make sure that was all burnt out. If you want to conserve a few pellets then I completely get that. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and for leaving a comment. Smoke on!!!
