Got this smoker this weekend (thanks to my amazing family!) !!! Did a 10.5 lb brisket with dry rub. If you use the meat probe, make sure you put it in a good spot or you'll see some high temps. Also, like he says, the temps are a bit lower than you'd calculate. I pulled at 187 to rest it, but most likely got more like 182. Let it sit in a few degrees longer and you'll get the fat to render better. Still turned out amazing with some great smoke rings! Second shot will amazing!!!

Your reviews on this have been very helpful. You raised a lot of good points. I haven't purchased a new unit yet. I'm still considering a vertical or grill-style pellet smoker or a gravity-feed smoker. Did you look at other options and why did you like this one more?

@TheAmericanSmoke

2 жыл бұрын

I looked at all other options. I chose the chamber style smoker because of the increased amount of cooking space. I’m old-school when it comes to steaks/burgers/wings and such. If I want a sear on something I’m going to do it over hot charcoal. That’s why I chose not to get the barrel type smoker with the sear plate. I like that my unit can run for several days without stopping on a full hopper of pellets if need be. The gravity fed charcoal unit seem to go through charcoal pretty quickly. I can also get charcoal pellets to put into this unit if I want some charcoal flavor. I hope this answers your question. If you’re not already , it would be great to have you as a subscriber to the channel. Thanks!!!

I use the same exact pellets. No matter what pellets I use. I always sift out the small pellets with 1/4" rabbit wire. I have seen a video on KZread that the small pieces might bind up the auger.

I’m a new owner of a smoker. I can’t wait to start using it. However, I have a question about the meat probe. How do you use the probe? The manual doesn’t explain use of the probe. For instance, how do you get the probe inside where the meat is cooking? Someone told me that you run it in through the door. I didn’t think that was right because it looks like that would interfere with the seal around the door. The control panel show mpc and mp. How do you use these? And my smoker came with one probe. Please help me figure this out. Thanks!

Man, from what I have learned, this is normal for the vertical. A lot of people consider the thick smoke to be “dirty smoke” and say that all you want to see is a light clear to almost light blue smoke. I’ve noticed that I get more smoke when I reach temp as opposed to when it’s heating up to temp. If your wanting more smoke flavor then let it run for a while at the start temp for a few hrs. Some people call it the smoke setting. I’m also considering getting a smoke tube for increased smoke flavor. I’ll do a video on it when I do. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

What is the best way to clean the glass in the Pit boss

@TheAmericanSmoke

2 жыл бұрын

The best way I have found, is to use Clorox wipe after every cook. If you’re not able to do that then warm water soap or maybe some oven degreaser works well.

I know there have been a few updates from pit boss on the control panel. The update apparently gives a wider range of temps. On a side note have you tried cold smoking on the pit boss?

@TheAmericanSmoke

3 жыл бұрын

I believe your right about the control panel. I have considered swapping mine but honestly, I have had good results with the temp setting that are available. I have not cold-smoked yet but I'm going to be making a review video this week for my new smoke tube. I'll show a comparison between with or without it in terms of smoke volume and discuss ways that it can be used to cold-smoke. Thanks for watching my video and for commenting. It would be great to have you as a subscriber! Thanks!!!

Why does your panel numbers blink the whole time. Mine doesn't do that? Also the first 2 times I used it, my smoker would stop at the temperature I set it at with just the wheel. After it wouldn't. It keeps going up and up until I plug in the mp thermometer. Then it goes up and down and finally gets to my set temperature and stops. By then I lost 45 min of pellets. I would like to just use the wheel to set my temp and forget about it like the first 2 times I used it. Anyone else having this issue?

I just got mine 21 Oct 2022 for my 60th birthday. I got everything going right. I did the burn off. I got the temp right etc. I downloaded the Smoke It app and it refuses to connect wifi. Ive deleted the App and reinstalled again. It doesn't get pass step 3.

The best option is to clean it after each cook with cleaning wipes. Quick and easy. If you let it build up, simple green or any sort of degreaser will do.

How do you do a first burn when machine is new?

@TheAmericanSmoke

2 жыл бұрын

Fill hopper with pellets, power on, hold prime butting until you hear pellets falling into burn pot. Continue to hold for another minute or two. Turn temp to 350 or higher and let run for 30-60 minutes. Make sure to have your chamber door open until you start to have smoke rolling. Then you close the door and crank up the heat. This burns off the impurities.

So it does hold temp pretty well? I just returned a z grill that would show 225 and when checked with numerous other thermostats it was close to 380. Nothing but problems with it.

Do you have a video on how you did the turkey , did you brine it ? Thanks

@TheAmericanSmoke

I don’t. That was my first Turkey and I like to have some experience before I make a video. I did not brine. Unless it’s a wild Turkey, they are usually pre-brined. Read the label to make sure yours is. I did make a creole butter injection and I injected. Turned out great. I wrapped my Turkey in butcher twine to avoid drying out the legs and wings. I may not do this on my next bird. I like that dark meat to be falling off the bone. Wrapping left a bit more pull to the dark meat, considering I pulled the bird once the breast reached 165 IT. I’ll pick one up though and make a video just for you buddy. Thanks for watching and for the comment. If you haven’t already, it would be great to have you as a subscriber. Thank you!!!

I got one on my birthday back in March, very disappointed so far. I used it 2 times first time was a little cold out and i got a late start so wasn't able to finish cooking on it so I moved to my grill. 2nd time all bad had put 40lb of pellet in the hopper and started it up and few hours later found the fire back fed into the hopper and lost $40 worth of pellets thats when i found out that pellet swell and it has a hard time with them feeding, so i am going to try again this time only putting in a little bit of pellets hopefully things workout this time.

@TheAmericanSmoke

3 жыл бұрын

I wonder why your pellets swelled? Did you leave them in there for a long time? From what you said, it sounds like you had just put them in there. I usually fill mine half way and I have not had any problems. I would say to just monitor your unit regularly and if you think there is an issue with the pellets feeding into the burn pot, hold the auger button for about a minute to force feed the pellets. This is also a good way to get a faster increase in temp. Good luck on your next cook. Thanks for watching my video and for commenting. It would be great to have you as a subscriber! Thanks!!!'

Yes. The source of the heat is the pellets it’s burning. The only way to keep the pellets burning is with the fan. It controls the heat by putting more or less pellets into the firebox.

Hey my friend! It all depends on what the pit bull a trying to do. If it's just maintaining a steady temp with a closed door, it's going to need less pellets. If it is trying to raise the temp it will run for longer. This is going to be effected by the temp outside as well. Some pellets burn hotter than others too so it will not need as many.
