so If I want to smoke something low and slow on P5 I should keep it on the smoke setting and just change the p setting? or should I put it to 225 and the p setting at 5

Good run down Paul, I use P6 in every cook. I have found it to give a good smoke flavor on the food. The manual said p6 and p7 could possible not feed enough pellets and cause it to shut off. I have not had that experience. I clean my pit boss every 3rd cook also. So debris and ash don't cause issues. I only had one issue, which was after a 16 1/2 hour brisket cook. The pellet cup got choked up, but I didn't clean it like I should have. Lesson learned lol, good video brotha.

Thanks Kirby, yeah lesson learned. Don’t worry I’ve done the same thing when I first got my grill. Now I clean out the fire pot every time first before a long cook. I don’t really adjust the P setting to often as I usually just leave at the P4 default setting, but that’s good advice about the P6 setting you use for anyone reading this comment. If the flame goes out on you with the P6 or P7 setting try using a lower setting like P5. I know this doesn’t apply for you Kirby as your grill doesn’t give you any issues with that setting. Thanks for your comment brother.

Have a Question for you ! I had bought the Austin XL couple years back. And last year didn’t get to use mine . But I have done ribs an brisket those two I’ve got down .I’ve also done chicken an done a pork butt but the chicken the skin was hard like sand paper an pork butt just couldn’t get the center all way done. ! But my Question on the P setting say for brisket an ribs. Would I set the P setting to like 5 or 6 what range would you recommend for P setting for brisket and ribs. And would you put it on the smoke setting for like a hour then move the temperature up to like 225 / 250 and let it roll ? Plus on for chicken and pork butt what would you recommend the P setting be on as well ! I didn’t realize every time you turn it off the P setting goes to factory set. And say while the unit is running you can reset the P setting right as well ? Thank you kindly for any information you give have a great day !

I think I got it now lol. So when I want to use the smoker. Have it on smoke for like 10 mins grill open. Then turn to my desire temp?

Great video. You don’t know how many times I’ve tried to explain the P setting to people. I have friends that buy pitboss grills and they call me and ask the same 3 questions. 1. How does the P setting work, 2. Why so many temperature swings, and 3. Why don’t I see smoke coming out all the time. It’s exhausting to keep answering the same questions🤦🏾‍♂️😊.

Oh man thank you so much I really appreciate this. I thought my smoker was broken after two uses because it was dumping so many pellets and then it would get so hot with massive flames. So if I understood you correctly I should turn the p setting to 9 which means that it will drop less pellets right with a low setting of like 225? Because the last time it was set on p4 and 225 but it got so hot almost catching on fire and I did vacuum out all the ash beforehand.

Thank you Eladio, these 700 series grills have got room to cook on. That sounds like you gave the grill a good break in with all those good cooks. Glad to hear everything turned out great and your family loved it all. I don’t use my top rack much as I find it a bit of a pain to reach food on the bottom in the back. I think if there was a little more height on the grill overall and the top rack was set a bit higher it would work out better with these grills. Now between your Traeger and the new Pit Boss you got your nephew you can really see that paying more is really getting you less. Meaning the Traeger has a higher price tag for a smaller grill with less options vs the Pit Boss with a lower price tag and bigger grill with more options.

If you’re looking to get heavy smoke flavor off any pellet grill it’s not gonna happen. You could use a smoke tube in the pellet grill to get more smoke flavor but it probably still won’t be as much as you’re looking to get.

Hey Mark, don’t feel intimidated by your pellet grill. It’s very simple and easy to use. Just set it to the temp you’re looking to cook at and let the grill do the rest while you just spritz once and a while. Don’t be looking for that smoke flavor you’re used to with your other smokers before this one as you won’t get it. With a pellet grill you just get a lite smoke flavor

You want to leave it closed while you’re smoking or gonna be cooking with an indirect heat. The sear zone is basically for searing your meat. It’s not exactly a big enough area to do a direct fire cook unless you’re cooking one good size steak or a couple small ones. Hope this helps you out

If you wanted to cook at 275 can you set it to 275 and adjust the p setting for alot of smoke?

@paulsq_

There is no 275 setting on this grill, and to answer your question the P setting only works while on the smoke setting. Any other temp you choose for smoking/cooking is run on a timer and you’ll get the pellets fed into the fire pot according to the timing cycle for the selected temp.

The instructions make it appear that, the first thing you do, is hit the P button, but THEN comes the hopper priming procedure. Which is first? I've never turned the grill on yet. Brand new.

Ever since that I haven’t noticed it again. Next longer cook I do on the Pit Boss I’ll hook up 3 maybe 4 grate probes just to see and show everyone what the inside of the grill is actually doing. 100+ degrees is not right to be off. If that keeps happening contact Pit Boss and maybe they’ll send you out a new control panel and probe as that might be the reason for it all.

Everyone’s grill might be different from mine, so you’ll have to play around with it to learn and see where your hot spots are.

Hey Joshua, anytime you adjust the temp on the grill it usually takes 20-30 minutes for the grill to adjust itself to the new temp setting. When you are lower the temp it’ll take a bit of time for it to come down unless it’s really cold outside in that case it should help the temp lower a bit faster. The good thing with pellet grills is when you want a lower temp just open the lid for a bit and the temp will drop faster as you’re now letting the heat out faster. It sounds like you figured out why you hit 400 earlier so just watch the grill and try not to hit the prime button as it will send more pellets increasing the temp.

use an smoke tube

Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier kzread.infoUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.

The "P" should have been an "S" for smoke level. . The higher the number, the more smoke you get. Lower number, means less smoke.

Not only is the P setting used for more or less smoke (in Smoke mode), it serves the dual purpose of micro-adjusting your grill to ambient weather temps and DOES in fact carry over into all other temp settings. Here in FL, the P4 setting in Smoke will settle the grill temp above 200, even 225 with added humidity and in the sun. This is the exact same scenario, only exaggerated at other temps should the P setting NOT be adjusted. Again, here in FL with a P4 setting, dailing in 350 will get consistent temps of 375-400 due to the ambient weather. It has to be adjusted, IN Smoke mode, for a longer pause at 350 so the grill temp will settle accurately. This has been verified in consultation with PB representatives who admit the language of the manual is convoluted. I'd recommend you edit your video so as to not distribute inaccurate information and really frustrate a PB grill owner who cannot figure out why their grill is stuck at 275-300 when dialing in 350/P4 on a cold, windy, rainy day and end up hating, even trashing online the PB brand.

Do you have a reference? I can't find that in any manual

@@fussywalrus it's not outlined in the manual, which even PB reps admit is convoluted in it's language. This topic is also one of common discussion in various FB Pitboss groups and there is a typed explanation in those groups which was written by PB grill masters and in conjunction with PB service reps to more fully explain how the P setting works. When I'm by my computer at home, I'll try and upload it here if I'm able. However you're welcome to join any of the common PB FB groups and request for someone who has it to share it.

Hey Robert, I’m not trying to get people to hate or trash the PB brand, as I recommend there grills to whoever asks me about them. I made this video based on my findings after 2 years of use. My findings are not based off forums or PB FB groups they’re based off hands on use over the period of said time. I don’t even have any issues with this in the dead of winter where we get really cold days here in the negatives. What you’re saying I’m not disputing as that might be the case for you in FL. Where I’m located I believe I explained it correctly as to how the grill operates here. From the feedback I’ve gotten from other PB users they seem to be pleased with this and working for them too. Thanks for watching.

@@paulsq_ I hear ya. However, the p setting does what it does in Florida or Alaska. It isn't an opinion or experienced-based variable. The groups and forums I've mentioned are no different that your hands-on use experience. In fact, that's multiple user's hands-on experiences combined. More experience > one experience. And I'm not saying your intention is to get people to trash their grills. I'm saying that is the result of incorrect information given out, which yours is. You do have the right to hold to being completely wrong though! That you've never had a problem with operation is not surprising. Fire heats food. Cavemen succeeded with that. Boy Scouts with coat hangers and a fire pit do this. So cooking food with fire can be done by just about anyone with relative ease. But the whole reason for buying a PB grill is its controls and features. Otherwise, just go to the store and buy a little round charcoal grill and cook away. My dad never changed the oil a single time in any vehicle he owned, believing it was a waste of time. He never had an issue as a result of poorly maintaining engine viscosity. That he successfully dodged a bullet does not mean he was right - just lucky.
