First Start Up, Burn Off, & Importance of Priming on any Pit Boss Pellet Grill | Pit Boss Pit Stops

  • Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
  • Any Pit Boss grill gives you a function called Priming - this is important because it gives you manual control of the speed of the Auger.
    So when the pellets have run out or you're starting your first grill, there are no pellets lined up in the auger to be fed to the ignitor which starts your fire.
    When the grill starts, it runs the auger and igniter for 4 minutes straight no matter what.
    If the pellets don't reach the ignitor in time, no fire will start.
    Make SURE you PRIME by holding down the prime button until you hear pellets drop into the fire pot, or see smoke. You will hear the trickling, like dropping a penny into a soda can.
    As for the P Setting...
    P0 = FASTEST
    P4 = Default
    P7 = SLOWEST
    If it were the middle of the unforgiving Alaskan winter, (which a Pit Boss will still run in) you would want to try a P Setting of 0 to counter the naturally frigid winter air and outside temperatures.
    On the other hand, if you were cooking in the Sahara desert, your grill might already be 200 degrees inside from the stifling desert sun.

    Good video. One IMPORTANT THING: Keep your lid open while starting the grill. If closed, the initial smoke and fumes may cause it to explode !!!

      Ahhh I've been scared to use mine since the last time. I was waiting on it to heat up before throwing on a brisket and it was smoking like crazy. Just billow and billows of smoke. I turned it off and as soon as I stepped away BOOM. Lid flew open and there was ash and pellets everywhere. Think I had to change my shorts too.

    1:05 Holding the 'Prime' button does not give the auger a "burst of speed". It prevents the auger from pausing, so the pellets arrive more quickly.

    Spot on. Just put together mine, and couldn't get it to ignite. I turned it on, dialed to smoke setting, held the primer button. Took forever to get the pellets through the auger and by that time the igniter sequence had completed which made me think the igniter was bad. i then watch a dozen youtubes and read that many forums on igniter troubleshooting. took apart the bottom plate to the hopper, stripped out half the screws, had to drill the heads off, then checked continuity on the wires and connections, all was good, snapped the connection back and tried again. This time the Auger was primmed, pellets were in the pot and away it went!. SO....prime first, then turn the dial to smoke.....lesson learned

I loved the smoker when it ran but the customer service could be a little better.

    @stevem3409 4 года назад +5

    Something else that’s very important is about every few times you cook you want to clean all the ash out of the grill otherwise the ash burns up in the pot and accumulates. I found out the hard way and these grills will smoke excessive and get very hot. Mine blew the lid right open. If you start smoking excessive, turn it to off position, open the lid and let it burn off. Then clean all the ash out and start over. Fantastic smoker grill. I love it. I use it a few times a week going on three years👍.

    • @thefolks1081
      @thefolks1081 3 года назад

      Yep. I was surprised to see him suggesting to heat it up with the lid down here. That's a big no-no and can create a huge backdraft that can cause an explosion.. even blowing the lid up or right off. Plenty of youtube videos showing it happening, as well. Dense smoke can ignite.. and he had way too much smoke going there to have the lid closed.

    Just finished assembling and going through the initial fire up of my new Pit Boss PB1100PSC2 Pro Series Combo Grill. Here are a few observations, for what it's worth.
    I'm a genuine rookie, so smokers are all new to me. However, after purchasing this from Lowes and getting it home for assembly, I was overwhelmed by the process. If you're like me, a ready, fire, aim kinda guy, you want to make sure to read the instructions, step by step, thoroughly before each step. I tend to think I'm smarter than the engineers who design stuff and get myself in trouble, having to undo/redo steps which is maddening. The instructions are good - not perfect - but good. I found they miss some simple details that could make the whole experience easier, such as alignment points, etc.
    After getting it fully assembled, I was disappointed that it was so difficult to find this video on first start up. I went through various RUclips videos, some good, others not so much. This one by BBQ Bob did the trick - short and sweet and to the point. Now I'm finally ready to throw on some nice fat boneless pork chops for the maiden voyage - wish me luck!

    I love my pitboss 820d3. There is only 1 issue I have. Pit boss decided to make the ports for the stick thermometers a different size then all the rest. So if you have a Thermoworks temp reader, the probes won't fit. So being Thermoworks readers are way more accurate, I can never use the pitboss probes. Every other brand is compatible except for pitboss 🤷

    I've read and seen many suggestions about NOT leaving pellet hopper filled after a cook - in humid areas especially (that's me in Illinois I think). Not clearing things out leads to pellet/auger jams. True/False? Suggestions are to empty pellet hopper after each cook. So if that's true, then what are the steps? How would you empty the auger tube after a cook? Or maybe, its not true? Or?

  • @BigBear-qr4zn
    @BigBear-qr4zn 3 года назад

    I've got a question? Instead of one auger why not have 2. So you would grill with both augers running and if you shut one side off you can use that for smoking your meat. All the heat is towards the middle but like I said," I'm thinking 🤔 2 would be ok as long as you can shut one auger off for smoking. The chicken, pork, beef, shrimp and fish come out excellent. But am hoping we get that feature soon. My brother does the grilling I investigate the grill. Some times I wish I were an engineer.

    The controller board which has the digital readout and temp knobs on my Pit Boss Tailgator 340 stopped working after only 7 uses. I called the company and was told the part was backordered for months and that they would send me one when they come in. A month later I called back to find out when the part might be in and was told in a month or so. I am very unhappy with Pit boss not stocking the parts and me not being able to use a fairly new pellet smoker. The person I spoke to was very helpful but that does not fix my broken pellet stove. It may be on the curb next garbage day. One important tip is to take the grill and lower plates off and clean all the grease and residue from the pellets-It caught on fire on my 5th use.

    • @calsunnygirl1
      @calsunnygirl1 2 года назад

      Re: the "not stocking" concern - thousands and thousands of little and big items that are imported to countries, and through ports like LA & Long Beach, CA, have been delayed for a long time due to back-ups at the ports having to do with the actual off-loading of the shipping containers. This is real problem that has been world-wide. I don't work for the company, but I'm sharing this to possibly explain why a part you need and want may be hung up. Nothing personal or shifty. Just a real-time, pain-in-the-ass, massive problem getting items from one side of the world to the other, off the ships, into the trucks, out of the trucks and onto stock shelves so the seller can support you with the item you need.

  • @bigcharlie1411

    TO PIT BOSS ENGINEERS - Just a couple of ideas for the PB1150PS2. 1) Provide a plug for the 'temperature gauge hole. (.75) - 2) Provide a gasket around the lid. I had to add a fire proof gasket around the inside of the lid to make the lid a little bit tighter (cheap install $10 bucks). 3- Provide a tighter fitting grate or provide notches so the grates can fit in, so they don't slide around. 4- An LED light would be a nice idea. 5 - Hooks on the back to hang the warming rack when not in use. I know the 1600 has that feature. If you can't have the feature in place, atleast have it as an add-on accessory.

    Any idea when after starting the smoker (previously used) how high the time should get before actually setting a temp? Say if I turned it on let it start heating up, how hot will it get? The lowest I can set my cooking temp on my pellet smoker is 200 degrees. Is there a “regulated temp”that the smoker will default to if a temp is not set or will the temp just continue to rise? Does that make sense?

    I've got a PB700FB, which I love. Why do I get smoke coming out of the pellet box, where it never used to? Then another problem, after a use, I did a burn off and a cool down per instructions, as I always do. Went to use it next day, auger would start to move then stop. I let it go for about 5 minutes, but nothing happened. Let it go through a shut down and unplugged it then tried to start it again, but same thing happened. Got on RUclips and saw how to remove auger. Upon removal, there were burnt pellets about half way back the feeder tube. What causes that? Oh yeah, thanks for giving a better warranty the year after I got mine. You'd have thought you would have offered it to previous customers.

      That happened to me the other day smoking out of hopper and auger jam. Came to the conclusion it was the pellets I used. They are called Knotty wood 100% pure Plum Wood. I’m not dissing this company it’s just I owned this pellet grill over 5 years no problems. Seen a U Tube video advertising knotty wood plum, bought the pellets did my cook did notice smoke out of hopper, about a week later ( the other day ) auger jammed full like really hard pellet material. I cleared the auger no issues now. I am hesitant to use those pellets again.

    Excitedly put my pit boss together last night only to immediately notice the auger jammed. I spent about 30 minutes emptying the hopper and clear out the jam. Started it up again and the auger was working, however once I added in the pellets it almost immediately jammed again. After clearing it again and running it without pellets I noticed the auger can be pushed left and right so much so that it seems as though the entire motor turns. The auger moves about half rotation and then bogs down again. Noticing how many other people have this same problem.

    I have had problems with my pit boss since day 1. My temp swings are huge. I have it on 220 degree and my swings have gone to almost 450 degree. It is constantly going up to 300 then comes down to around 250. I went to where I bought it and they told me to call pit boss. I have contacted pit boss and they stayed on the phone with me for over an hour going over the whole process of starting it and bringing up to temp. They sent me a new controller to install. I installed it and it still does the same thing. I have wasted so much meat on this thing. It over cooks it so bad and dries it right out. Wasted brisket, which in NY is between $5 to $9 a pound. I have sent a couple messages back to Pit Boss and they just send me messages back asking me the same dozen questions every time and telling me to clean my temp probe. I have not had 1 good cook on this smoker. I am back to using my old electric smoker and this Pit Boss is just an expensive dust collector.

      Smoke setting Is a manual cooking setting “P7” being the longest time it takes to feed a cycle of pellets to feed down to your igniter and “P1” being the fastest setting to cycle your chips to the igniter .... pit master suggests if you use setting “smoke” you should start at “P4” and see how your temperature plays out I like P5-P6 during the summer and P2-P3 during the winter

    • @PitBossGrills
      @PitBossGrills  4 года назад

      Michael, the cover will provide protection from the elements, but be aware, it does not make it waterproof. If it's going to be any longer than a week or so between uses, you'll want to drain the hopper and run the unit until the auger is clear to prevent any auger jams.

    • @PitBossGrills

      Yes, the grill always needs to be started with the lid open, on Smoke for about 10 or so minutes. After the pellets have fully ignited, you can then close the lid and set your cooking temp.

    So I just bought the 1100 pro as a floor model as they discontinued it. I noticed if I were making wings or something and I open the grill the temp drops on the unit and the fan kicks on and super heats the inside sometimes over -00 degrees more than I wanted as it’s trying to compensate for the temp drop. First time using a pellet grill. Used to smoke on an ole stick burner and grill on propane. Any suggestions?
