I will say this about the smoker I have had it for about 6 months 6 months my control board went out. Which was causing it to have a extremely long heat up process. But other than that it is an overall good smoker with what I think is the best warranty you can get. They will handle your problems with no problems.

Hey Alex, I haven't actually purchased a cover for it yet. I keep it in my garage currently.

Very interested in getting one of these , BUT....... two questions . Does this come with the controller that can go UP in 10 degree increments ( their old ones skipped from 250 to 300 ) Also , I’ve seen people modifying their grills with a curved piece of metal added right beside the temperature probe to help stabilize the heat and read outs. Does this grill need that modification added ?

You are most likely correct!

Curious about the heat up times, do you know about how long to 225 then up to 350? You said just plan ahead. Is it 10, 20 45 minutes?

Hey, thanks for reaching out. I cannot definitively answer the first part of your question. That is the first time, and the only time I have started the cooker, and I’m in cold Minnesota. You should always preheat your cookers, regardless of its a barrel, stick burner, or pellet. I always let my warm for a half hour at least regardless of the temperature. That being said, I will be cooking on it tomorrow, and will do my best to answer your question in my video, or I’ll stop back here and let you know. I did spray everything inside when I seasoned it! I hope this helps, and thank you for watching! 🔥

Do they have the same PID problems on the 1600 as they do on the 870 and 1150? Or will this one go in 10 degree increments without having to send it back to them to be flashed.

@AshKickinBBQ

Yeah the S means it’s in smoke mode, which it will usually run between 160-180° on that setting. If you want to cook at higher temps, adjust your temperature accordingly. Sometimes for jerky or salmon I run in smoke mode only. Other folks like to run in smoke mode for an hour or two on big meats and then set the temp to 225, 250, 300, etc. I don’t use the recipe mode, so I cannot comment on that.

@@AshKickinBBQ I’m guessing it’s because the heat deflector sits higher on the hopper side

Which smoker do you find yourself using the most between that and the gateway? Thanks

I use my Gateways primarily for competitions. My new daily driver is a Traeger Ironwood 785. But the 1600 is a solid cooker

Is there any way to change the P setting on this beast?

Nope, and I don’t really know why there would be a need to? It’s PID controlled.

There’s a lip there now that extends almost all the way up. I never had an issue with it on my XL though tbh.

Hi Nathen, no I did not. I have about 20 smokers and grills in my garage, so I don’t use the same one every video. My most current video dropped last week is on the Z Grills again. Thanks!

@@shanehammill2207 yeah, I can understand that for sure! But for a cooker with PID, all this space, double walled insulation, $900 is pretty reasonable. In comparison, the Timberline from Traeger has less cooking space, and is at least DOUBLE the cost of this one! So, although it’s steeper than previous models, I’d say it’s a contender for sure!
