She is a keeper!!! Happy birthday and this is a pretty good pit and I will continue to have more videos using it! Thanks for watching and have fun with the 1600!!
Awesome and thank you! The 1600 is a very nice pellet grill. Mine is running great after I got the controller upgraded! Tell him to have fun and get that smoke rolling!!! Thanks for watching!!
The patina is just the residue build up from the aerosol propellant which actually gets sticky over time, you should be going for a shiny black finish like cast iron and should use actual oil or a non aerosol spray. This will provide the nonstick properties
I just bought my first pellet grill for Father's Day. Grabbed a good deal on a 850 Pro Series. I did my first cook on the 4th of July. Smoked a small 3lb ish Tri Tip and holy crap. I wish I bought one of these years ago!
Just an update , the 1600 is now available in Canada at Lowes, $1750 cdn. the only differences from the 1150 PS2 is the extra grate and the griddle, I think the PID is the same. I wish PB would do an upgrade for us so I can get 5 degree increments.
Just bought the 850 version and I absolutely love it... only after 1 cook I have fallen deeply in love with this smoker... you can’t go wrong with the performance and the price!!
Heck ya!! The Pro Series is a great line and I think Pit Boss did a great job on these for sure!! I am having a few issues with my controller but it seems to be getting better but I have a call into Pit Boss and once I hear more I certainly will share. But my cooks have all turned out great! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!
@@robert7879 are you using an iPhone or Android? I heard androids have issues with the wifi but not sure if still happening. I have an iPhone and have no issues.
Just got the 1600 TODAY!! Watched the vid, getting ready to burn it in. I still have my stick burner but have heard so much about effortless cooking,(and I'm all about that) I had to give it a go. Great video and thanks!!
I bought the 820 years ago, looks like some very smart refinements. Don't think a 3rd rack is useful though. I'd like to see the upper rack be able to be adjusted a few levels either way over the cooking grates. just need some bars on the sides to slide them in I would think.
Always good to check out all the pits out there! Traeger is a good pit also, great controller! But thinner metal and kind of paying for the name. If you go with Traeger go with the Ironwood at least. I like the RecTeq also! But for the value hands down this 1600 is a great deal! Thanks for watching!!
Dead Broke BBQ you may want to call Pit Boss as the Pro Series 1150 has a firmware update to the PID controller so they should also have the same for the 1600 Pro Series. It allows for 10 degrees of temp adjust from 200F-300F and 25 degrees of temp adjust above 300F.
Hey thanks Ross! Unfortunately Pit Boss at this time is not prepared yet to do the update to the 1600. My Pit Boss rep has informed me that once they have an answer they will let me know right away and I will share it with everyone. Now Ash Kickin' BBQ who is also an Ambassador for Pit Boss and on the 1600 team is not having the issues with his like I am. Saturday though mine seemed like it is getting a little better at getting up to temp. Time will tell!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!
Ya glad to see the box store pellet grills step up to the plate!! That light is so nice for the average owner!! I am spoiled with 5 lights in front of it but eventually I won't be filming every cook out it so I am glad it will be there!! Thanks for watching bro and I hope you have a great weekend!!
Great production Sir! And also I'm glad I came across your video. I just purchased one of these smokers two days ago and I'm going to pick it up on my way home from work today. I will definitely follow your burnoff procedure. Thank you for the tutorial!
Awesome!! I like pellet grills for the convenience of use. Still love the the stick burner flavor but I don’t always have time to sit and tend a fire! Have fun with that new pit!!!
They certainly add flavor compared to a gas grill! They are easy to run and do a pretty dang good making BBQ! So go get one!!! hahaha Thanks for watching!
I been wishing for this a long time. Went to my local Lowes long story short they closed it out I got my pit boss 1600 for $227.97. Right day right time True no B.S 😀
So I have been back and forth a dozen times over the last week about what kind of grill to get. The thing that is causing me to sway the most toward a propane grill is the fact that with my propane grill I barely ever did anything that resembled cleanup after grilling. I didn't even cover it. I was about to buy the Pit Boss pro series 1600. Almost clicked buy. Now I read that the pellet grills "should" have all pellets removed after each cook. And its best not to leave the grill outside - like it may get rain? And the most common complaint is that it takes an hour to achieve 350 degrees and its almost impossible to get it hotter than the mid to high 300's with many negative reviews saying similar things? Well, looks like I have made my decision to get a weber genesis 4 burner and skip this brisket making idea I had or maybe just get a separate smaller vertical smoker + the Genesis as the main cooker.
Once you start cooking with wood or charcoal gas leaves you feeling like the food is bland and boring even if you dumped a shit ton of sodium on it. But if you are busy and don't like to clean things gas is the way to go. Plus a lot of people just eat when they are hungry. Other people eat because they like to cook. Thanks for watching!
I did the burn off a few days ago. It got to 350 in 35 minutes and held at 350 for a solid hour. Freaking perfect. Did chicken last night cooked at 300, held at 300 the entire cook. Doing a brisket next weekend. Low and slow. We will see how it goes.
Oh ya mine holds temps great but I am having issues getting mine up to temp. Taking longer than it should but I do have a call in to CS so once they get back to me I certainly will share what I find out!! My briskets turned out great and and tomorrow I am doing some boneless pork butts. We will see if it preforms a little better!?!?! Fingers crossed brother because it is going to be 1 degree out tomorrow--serious 1 degree!!! hahah Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!!
Hahahaha out of 90k views you are the first to notice that mistake!! I didn't notice until I posted it live!!! Thanks for watching and you get an A+ for listening!!
Ya I have stuff like that but I test these cookers under what they come with. This cooker has a lot of great bells and whistles but it struggles getting to the temp I set it at. Now I know 2 other Tubers that have this same cooker and theirs are getting better the more they run them but mine is getting worse. We will see but I might be sending in the controller soon to get another one. They haven't announced anything yet but Pit Boss is aware of the issues I am having. Nothing earth shattering just taking too long to temp up!! Thanks for watching!!
You pretty much covered everything in this future-packed pit. Hopefully, she handles the tough winter with that double-walled insulation. I love the quick clean out but really love the griddle. Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers brother.
Thanks Tommy!! Ya I really need to get my griddle seasoned up soon!! So far it is doing ok. I just wish the temps would come up faster than they are right now!! Hoping there is a controller firmware update on this pit also! Have a great weekend brother and looking forward to seeing your brisket cook! I am editing mine now but it will be a while before I get it done!!
Thanks for this video. Helped me get my 850 PS started on the initial burn off. My first cook is going to be fresh Brats. I need to start with the Brats so I can eat sooner and get used to this cooker. For a first big meat cook, I think it will be a Pork Butt. Chicken sounds like a decent cook also for a learning curve cook. Not expensive and not an all day cook either.
I talked to Pit Boss CS the other day. He stated no Plana to update the PID controller like they did on the 1150. It's a bit of a bummer, but I am definitely buying this one over the 1150. I can't wait. Btw...love your channel and dedication to Pit Boss.
Well there is no plans yet but my guess they will be doing eventually but I would hold off a bit because once I hear I will share with all my viewers. I am having some issues with mine getting to temp. It gets there but takes a lot longer than my buddy Darrin (Ash Kickin BBQ) who lives in Minnesota. So they isn't an outside air difference but his is getting better and mine has not really changed. This pit has a lot of awesome features and I see it becoming a very good and reliable cooker! Once mine gets to temp it holds and runs great!! Thanks for watching!!
I do recommend it but mine is not up to speed yet and I have read on FB that others have had the same issue as me. But others are having ZERO issues. So to be fair to my viewers I can not say it is awesome yet until my temp issues get resolved. Again Darrin's is running a lot better than mine so I feel it is a good pit but there might be a few bad controllers out there at the moment. I have some pretty nice pellet grills that can get to 450° in 15 mins. This thing has taken me 1 1/2 hours to get to 450°. But once I get there it holds great! But that long is not acceptable. Hope this helps and I trust PB to make this cooker one of the best in the market but some of the first batch might have a few issues.
I have not seen this at any of the stores that are Pit-Boss heavy. I'm thinking about getting the Laredo 1000. I want to downsize a bit from my Cuisinart Woodcreek.
This pit is a Lowe's exclusive. They also have the 850 & 1150 Pro Series which are good pits! So if you have a Lowe's near by check them out. Thanks for watching Sam!!
Man, once again I didn't get this notification, but hey, it's only day 6! 😀 OK so I absolutely LOVE all the new features, I just don't get why they insist of having an 8" front shelf... My biggest complaint with my Pro Series. I know, at least it has one. But too many times I've either lost or almost lost my tray of meat due to sliding it back a bit to open the lid and BAM! On the ground it goes..... As for the rest of it, LOVE IT LOVE IT! If I upgrade, it may have to be the 1150 as this 1600 is more than I think I would use? But of course the extra space is nice! Thanks Jeff!
Hi Kevin I would wait for a bit before you upgrade but get the 1600 bro. This gives you the chance to do a larger cook just incase you need it!! Solid unit and other are not having the same minor temp issues I am but this pit run solid once it levels off. There certainly is not the temp swings on this one like my old 1100 and that is a big bonus!! Thanks for watching and I posted a new video today, just a friendly heads up!! hahah Like always bro, thanks for watching!!
Yeah, not if in a hurry to upgrade... It's funny how each grill is different. My 1100 doesn't get the temp differences that others get and I always let it warm up 15 to 20 minutes and it all levels out. And good point, no sense on not having enough room :)
Heck ya Monte and one of these days I will run a Rector set through the channel!! I just need them to send me one and I can see how it preforms!! Thanks for watching brother!!
Just watched this video as I just picked up the 1600 last weekend. Excellent info for those of us trying to learn more. Running the burn off now. Can't wait to use it. The PID controller on this one goes in 10° increments until you hit 300, then it goes up to 25° increments. Would that be the updated controller?
Thank you for watching Roy!! I hope you have better weather down under compared to here by me!! It is COLD!!! hahah Thanks for leaving a comment brother!!
Ya nice features on this pit and I am hoping they update this controller like they are on the 1150 and that will at least give use more cooking temp options for those low n slow temps!! Thanks for watching Al!!!
Dont matter. I had the 1150 and had the controller upgraded still wouldnt hold temp. My external probes less than 2 inches from the internal probe were 125 degrese off.
Just bought one and did the burn off. I emptied out the hopper but there were a small amount of pellets left that had dropped so close to the fire pot that I couldn’t clean them out. Should I be concerned those will swell with moisture and clog the auger on my next cook? Should I empty the hopper of pellets right after I put it in shut down mode and let those few remaining pellets burn off during cool down or will that hurt the machine?
You will be fine! You can't get them all and as long as you use your pit in a month or it is not very humid out they will be fine. Unless you keep it outside and inside the hopper gets wet!!! Thanks for watching and have fun with that pit!!
Just want to throw in my 2 cents. I purchased the new PB1600, and during the Pre-Burn etc, I had an issue. Called Customer Service (the person was very nice), it was determined that the Control Panel was bad. It has now been 4 weeks since that conversation with customer service, and they still cannot tell me when I am getting the new replacement. Currently "very" dissappointed. I am a very patient person, however, that will end very soon.
thanks for the awesome video! i really love this unit, due to my budget, i was barely able to get the 1150, how similar are these units? im asking because i want to know if i can follow your burn off technique with mine. Greay video! thanks again
Thank you Johnny! I really like this cookers feature! I am having some issues with the controller right now but I am starting to come up with a few work arounds until Pit Boss can get back to me on what needs to be done to fix it!! Have a great week bro!!
" I drink, and I know things " one of my favorite GOT lines. Anyway, Ricer this was a great introduction to this cooker. I still don't have a dog in this race when it comes to pellet cookers but I admire well thought out products and this looks VERY well thought out. Will be interesting to see a few cooks on it. While I'm thinking about it, will there be a live this Sunday. What with the super bowl and all. And I see the polar vortex is heading your way this weekend so don't go outside without your hat. Take care buddy and stay warm. 😃👍❄🔥❄🔥❄
Hahaha yes that was a great line for sure!! Yes this pit has all the bells and whistles for sure! I am struggling to get it to my desired cooking temps but I can work around that. I have contacted Pit Boss and once they get back to me about the problems I am dealing with I will share the results. I really like this cooker and I know 2 other Tubers that are not having the same issue so I hope I just got a dumb PID controller and we can get this thing to heat up quicker!! Yes Justin and I are still going live Sunday. We scheduled this way back in September and with his schedule it is hard for him to do Sunday nights so oh well the show must go on!! We both laughed this week that it might just be me and him on!! ha ha Hope you can. make it but no worries if you can't! Have a great weekend Victor!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ oh I'll be watching. First, I don't get TV reception where I live and I don't have cable ( this is one of the logistical problems I need to solve so I can download Y Tube. Don't either of you give up on me, I'll be putting up a channel and episode's eventually) And I wouldn't miss Justin's interview if I could possibly help it. Justin's channel was the first channel I subscribed to so I'll be looking forward to watching. Fyi, I have satellite radio so I will be able to listen to the game. Just no commercials. 😃👍🍻
Heck yeah buddy, that’s a great overview and burn off! It definitely looks like a good beefy spacious pit, should be a champ once they figure out the controller. Awesome job brother! Have a great weekend!
Ya Charley I have a lot of hope for this cooker!! On my quest for the perfect pellet grill this pit has all the feature I am looking for so hopefully Pit Boss can help solve my temp issues so this thing can crush it this year!! I am doing some pork butt on it right now and started to do some work arounds to get this thing preheated fast but work arounds are juts a quick solution for now. I will let everyone know once I hear back from Pit Boss!! Thanks for watching bro and have a great weekend!
Thanks for watching Rus!! Ya this pit has a lot of bells and whistles! It is struggling with getting the temps up to speed but I hope this PID either gets smarter or it is going to be riding the short bus soon and get swamped out!! ha ha But the cooks have all turned out but I have stuck more time into them then on other cookers I own! Have a great weekend brother!!
Thanks Kent!! Heck ya bro I am very pleased with all these new creature comforts!! I am having a small issue with the temps but once it gets there this pit holds well and runs pretty efficient!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
You mean Ding dong ditch lol door bell ditch dam cheese heads lol 😆 skol just messing around 😂 awesome video thanks for the informative video rookie smoker here just picked up a Charleston combo
Hi Tia that is normal for pellet grills and other smokers but just make sure your chamber is clean and fire pot dumped before any longer cooks to help avoid more ash. Thanks for watching!!
Good cooker and has a lot of bells and whistles! I am having a small controller issue right now, I just ain't getting up to temp as fast as I would like but it has done a good job with the cooks I have done! Thanks for watching!!
@@farmman33 Well with the addition of the easy clean out and the PID controller it took one step a head of the DLX IMO. Now mine is having some temp issues but I have 2 other Tuber friends that have the 1600 and they are not having this issue. I have a call into my Pit Boss rep and once I get an answer I will share it with everyone but this cooker should be the on the top of everyone's list this year!! Thanks for watching Darrin!!
All the cook videos I did on that pit were during the winter months! It works pretty good but like all grills during the winter they burn a little more fuel! Thanks for watching!
Ricer,I'm curious when you reverse sear your 1st steak weather you can sear on you grillgrates with flame open or weather you have to put "GRILLGRATES" on top of your grates to do it.I have a Campchef and when I add GG on top with flame open my lazer temp shows around 630deg(I'm in S.C.)
Nice 630° is awesome!! That temp certainly will crank out a great sear!! I am going to do several types of reverse sears on this pit. GrillGrates, Griddle, and just the flame broiler. I love when I can get my grates up to 650-700° and we will see what I can do with this pit?!?! Lots of bells and whistles on this cooker but I have had a few issues with this thing taking a long time to get to my desired temp. My PID is not learning very quickly!?!?! We will see and I will keep everyone posted on what I find out!! Thanks for watching!!
There is a little light icon on the controller. But once you get the firmware update for the 10° increments the light stays on all the time. hahaha I am happy with this pit but hopefully the next batch some of these bugs are worked out of it. Thanks for watching!
Hi Gianni. I never really measure that but I always figure I can get 2 - 3 cooks out of every bag of 20 pounds. Now if you are doing a 13 hour low and slow cook well probably only 2 cooks. Thanks for watching and hello Italy!!!
I have zero issues removing and putting mine back in. Weird but honestly it is so easy my boys do it for me after every cook and they are teenagers with a zero attention span. Thanks for watching!!
Hi , I just purchased the 1150 , the 1600 is not available in Canada. When I started the burn off , the app asked if I could set the temp to 275 degrees. I couldn't , is this a problem ?
Hmmm I can not answer that question. Does you controller have 10 degree increments? If you don't call Pit Boss they need to update that controller for you!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Yes it does I called PB and they said call the App developer. They think it might be a bug. Oh well the 1150 does a great job. Thanks for the feedback. Happy BBQuing
Look pretty nice buddy! Cant wait to see it cook! Stay warm! Its gonna be that cold here all next week!I'm gonna freeze my hillbilly ass off! Lol have a great week bro!
Ya it is not very friendly out right now Mike!! I even left my car idol for the past week to help speed up global warming so it wouldn't be so crazy cold out this week!! ha ha Ya been struggling with some temp issues on this pit but I am doing some work arounds right now until I hear back from Pit Boss on getting a new controller. Some are have the same issues as me and others are running just fine. Like always thanks for watching and it was -2° out this morning when I started filming a couple pork butts---ugh I am turning into an icicle!! ha ha Stay warm bro!!
Hello! Loved this video. I just bought my first Pit Boss. Always had Traeger, where you could put the aluminum sheets under the grates for easy clean up. PitBoss said not to put foil on their cooking elements, but I've seen several videos on RUclips saying they did anyways and love the quick clean up and less burnt drippings messing up future cook tastes. You are the pro... any thoughts on that? I'd really appreciate it.
I used to wrap with foil and then I saw that it rusted it up quicker so I just season mine with canola oil after I clean it up. You do you brother, clean up has been a part of BBQ for centuries. I do mine after every 3rd cook so it doesn't take long at all.
I Called Pit Boss This morning , they straight up told me they have zero plans on updating the control board for the 1600 to have ten degree increments.
Hmmm that is really disappointing to hear and once my rep can confirm that I will certainly share it in a video! I never take a lot of what CS says because they are typically the last ones to know!! ha ha I just want mine to heat up and recover quicker. I don't truly need all the temp settings. I typically cook at 250-275° but I do cook hot and fast at 300° also so I don't mind getting some cooks done quicker anyways. You just have to run those internal temps higher. 210° typically on a hot and fast brisket. Thanks for the update and keep them coming JT!!!
I never had a smoker and I LOVE brisket! I’m doing some research about smokers and it looks like for a beginner, pellet smoker is the way to go. I saw that there’s a 1150 Pit Boss Pro, does it have all the features that 1600 had except the cooking surface? Do you recommend this smoker for a beginner???
Ya Rob I can certainly say this pit comes with everything! Now I am having a few temp issues but I have a call into Pit Boss and hopefully soon it will be resolved. I will make sure that I share with everyone what I find out. Like every new release some have issues and some don't!! Thanks for watching bro!!
Thank you Teddy! I am very happy with all the feature on mine. I am having a slight issue with getting to my desired temps but once it gets there it holds and does a great job!! I appreciate you watching and keep in touch!!! Have a great weekend!
It is a very nice cooker Robert! I will be honest that mine is having some temp issues but today I did some pork butt and it ran pretty dang good even if it started out -1° this morning!! ha ha I have come up with a few work arounds until I hear what Pit Boss is planning to do to get mine running correctly but my good friend Darrin from Ash Kickin BBQ has not had the issues I have so I might just have a Monday pit!! ha ha But with all these features and how good it holds temp once mine gets there I think this could be the 2021 best mid level pellet grill made this year!?!?! Thanks for watching!!
i can't decide between this one, the cheaper "competition" one from academy or an 1150. any advice? this isn't my first pellet smoke so i don't want to have to upgrade again soon but also don't want to spend more than i need for me.
As always, another great video Jeff! I foresee some potential issues with using the griddle though. I'm interested to see if the cooker will maintain a solid temp with the door open while your cooking your breakfast on the flat top. Also, won't you get a face full of smoke the entire time? I'm hoping the griddle isn't just a novelty feature!
Great point Scott and I feel the same way but I am still excited to try that griddle out! Now with that said I am having a some temp issues on mine but my buddy Darrin from Ash Kickin BBQ is not so I have a call into Pit Boss and once I hear back from them on what we are going to do to get this thing getting to temps quicker I will do some work arounds to help speed things up! Doing some pork butt right now and one thing I did certainly helped speed up the preheat process! Like always bro, thanks for watching!!
If you run the grill on high temps with the sear plate open it won’t smoke a lot and it will get the griddle nice and hot. It’s not necessary to keep the whole chamber a solid temp, just to get the heat to the griddle. It’s kinda like cooking with a skillet on a stove vs a skillet in the oven.
Hello, are you still happy with the Pro 1600? I am from Germany and its hard to find the Pro but not impossible:) maybe you can help me with the decision between Broil King Regal, Traeger and the 1600 Pro. Sorry for me Bad english;)
Guten Tag! haha Yes I am still happy with that pit! I have no experience with a Broil King and I do like the more expensive Traegers. But for value and the heavier build I am very impressed with the 1600!! I will say that hold off a couple weeks on the 1600, might be a new model coming REAL soon!?!?!?!? Like real soon!!! Thanks for watching and ne on the look out in the next month or so!! Auf Wiedersehen!!
You don't, you just need to keep adding some oil after it has cooled down. It is just the nature of the beast. But adding some oil certainly keeps it from really rusting out. All my pellet grills have done this. Thanks for watching!!
I love burning logs but this grill looks awesome, I like all the technology! This Cave Man may have to start sitting when he pees and buy a pellet grill! Lol 😂
Haha ya pellet grills get good views but I will have some more live fire cookers this year also!! I just wish my kettle videos got more views but RUclips has decided I do pellet grill videos. ha ha
I just got one for my 40th bday few days ago, woman sure knows the way to my heart
She is a keeper!!! Happy birthday and this is a pretty good pit and I will continue to have more videos using it! Thanks for watching and have fun with the 1600!!
How do you like it so far?
Just bought this for my husband for father's day, and he's so excited to have his first pellet smoker!! This is a great video!
Awesome and thank you! The 1600 is a very nice pellet grill. Mine is running great after I got the controller upgraded! Tell him to have fun and get that smoke rolling!!! Thanks for watching!!
Please update us down the road, I’m considering a Pit Boss...the prices are hard to beat.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Great video!!!! I am looking to purchase this, why did the controller need to be updated?
The patina is just the residue build up from the aerosol propellant which actually gets sticky over time, you should be going for a shiny black finish like cast iron and should use actual oil or a non aerosol spray. This will provide the nonstick properties
I just bought my first pellet grill for Father's Day. Grabbed a good deal on a 850 Pro Series. I did my first cook on the 4th of July. Smoked a small 3lb ish Tri Tip and holy crap. I wish I bought one of these years ago!
My wife and I assembled my new Pitboss Pro Series 1150 today. Now for the burn-off and to get cooking. Thanks for the informative video.
Have fun and enjoy that pit!!! Thanks for watching!!
So excited I got the 1150 and it’s going to be here tomorrow
Awesome!! Have fun with your new pit!!
Just an update , the 1600 is now available in Canada at Lowes, $1750 cdn. the only differences from the 1150 PS2 is the extra grate and the griddle, I think the PID is the same. I wish PB would do an upgrade for us so I can get 5 degree increments.
Just bought this exact smoker and set it up last night. Odd this is the first vid YT recommends me...
Seems to always work that way. Thanks for watching!
I just got the new 1155 PS3 pit boss it’ll be here Tuesday. I’ll have it in time for the super bowl party. Plenty of time to do a burn off or 3.
Hope you are enjoying that new pit!!
I just got a 1150 Lowe’s today. Small scratches Paid $400 out the door. I’m looking forward to trying it this weekend.
Great price!! Have fun with the new pit!!
Currently doing a burn off on my PitBoss Pro 1150. Thanks for the help getting it started Ricer!
Heck ya Jose!!! Have fun and that is a great pit!!! Thanks for watching!!
Just bought the 850 version and I absolutely love it... only after 1 cook I have fallen deeply in love with this smoker... you can’t go wrong with the performance and the price!!
Heck ya!! The Pro Series is a great line and I think Pit Boss did a great job on these for sure!! I am having a few issues with my controller but it seems to be getting better but I have a call into Pit Boss and once I hear more I certainly will share. But my cooks have all turned out great! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!
I bought the same smoker my wifi is not working

Great video and thanks!!

I'm in the middle of a cook now and if i don't quit watching your videos rn I'm gonna burn my sausage. Lol
Hahahha well thanks for watching!!! You can always press the pause button!! hahaha Hope you had a great cook!!
Just sold my GMG to get this bad boy…. So excited can’t wait to get my first Brisket on it.
Heck ya and have fun with this pit! I certainly feel this is the best box store pit available at the moment!! Thanks for watching!!
I bought the 820 years ago, looks like some very smart refinements. Don't think a 3rd rack is useful though. I'd like to see the upper rack be able to be adjusted a few levels either way over the cooking grates. just need some bars on the sides to slide them in I would think.
I was so sold on getting a treager but you have definitely opened my eyes to this brand, Thank You
Always good to check out all the pits out there! Traeger is a good pit also, great controller! But thinner metal and kind of paying for the name. If you go with Traeger go with the Ironwood at least. I like the RecTeq also! But for the value hands down this 1600 is a great deal! Thanks for watching!!
Dead Broke BBQ you may want to call Pit Boss as the Pro Series 1150 has a firmware update to the PID controller so they should also have the same for the 1600 Pro Series. It allows for 10 degrees of temp adjust from 200F-300F and 25 degrees of temp adjust above 300F.
Hey thanks Ross! Unfortunately Pit Boss at this time is not prepared yet to do the update to the 1600. My Pit Boss rep has informed me that once they have an answer they will let me know right away and I will share it with everyone. Now Ash Kickin' BBQ who is also an Ambassador for Pit Boss and on the 1600 team is not having the issues with his like I am. Saturday though mine seemed like it is getting a little better at getting up to temp. Time will tell!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!!
Great video Ricer! It’s nice to see that Pit Boss is catching up with the times with all these cool features.... and that light is a game changer!
Ya glad to see the box store pellet grills step up to the plate!! That light is so nice for the average owner!! I am spoiled with 5 lights in front of it but eventually I won't be filming every cook out it so I am glad it will be there!! Thanks for watching bro and I hope you have a great weekend!!
Great production Sir! And also I'm glad I came across your video. I just purchased one of these smokers two days ago and I'm going to pick it up on my way home from work today. I will definitely follow your burnoff procedure. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks for watching!!! Hope you are enjoying that new cooker!!
nice video! Thank you! My new pit boss pro 1150 is arriving tomorrow, it is my first pellet grill, used to stick burners. I am excited!
Awesome!! I like pellet grills for the convenience of use. Still love the the stick burner flavor but I don’t always have time to sit and tend a fire! Have fun with that new pit!!!
Man my wife keeps telling me to just go get one. I always over think big purchases and love that I did do it afterwards haha
They certainly add flavor compared to a gas grill! They are easy to run and do a pretty dang good making BBQ! So go get one!!! hahaha Thanks for watching!
Looking for my first pellet grill and this was a very informative video thanks
Glad it was helpful!
I been wishing for this a long time.
Went to my local Lowes long story short they closed it out I got my pit boss 1600 for $227.97.
Right day right time
True no B.S
😀
Heck ya Gary! That is awesome and congrats brother!! Have fun with the new cooker!!
Great video!! Just got the Pro Series 850. I like the tip about the canola oil.
Thanks for watching and glad I could help!!!
That tray on the bottom is the best. So much easier to clean up! Great video
Ya it sure does make clean up easy!! Thanks for watching Jake and I hope you have a great weekend!!
So I have been back and forth a dozen times over the last week about what kind of grill to get. The thing that is causing me to sway the most toward a propane grill is the fact that with my propane grill I barely ever did anything that resembled cleanup after grilling. I didn't even cover it. I was about to buy the Pit Boss pro series 1600. Almost clicked buy. Now I read that the pellet grills "should" have all pellets removed after each cook. And its best not to leave the grill outside - like it may get rain? And the most common complaint is that it takes an hour to achieve 350 degrees and its almost impossible to get it hotter than the mid to high 300's with many negative reviews saying similar things? Well, looks like I have made my decision to get a weber genesis 4 burner and skip this brisket making idea I had or maybe just get a separate smaller vertical smoker + the Genesis as the main cooker.
Once you start cooking with wood or charcoal gas leaves you feeling like the food is bland and boring even if you dumped a shit ton of sodium on it. But if you are busy and don't like to clean things gas is the way to go. Plus a lot of people just eat when they are hungry. Other people eat because they like to cook. Thanks for watching!
I did the burn off a few days ago. It got to 350 in 35 minutes and held at 350 for a solid hour. Freaking perfect. Did chicken last night cooked at 300, held at 300 the entire cook. Doing a brisket next weekend. Low and slow. We will see how it goes.
Oh ya mine holds temps great but I am having issues getting mine up to temp. Taking longer than it should but I do have a call in to CS so once they get back to me I certainly will share what I find out!! My briskets turned out great and and tomorrow I am doing some boneless pork butts. We will see if it preforms a little better!?!?! Fingers crossed brother because it is going to be 1 degree out tomorrow--serious 1 degree!!! hahah Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ sounds awesome, I’m looking forward to your griddle video as well.
Heck ya JT after this pork butt video I will bake in that griddle!!
There is no way with all that equipment you are Dead Broke.😵 Thanks for the review.
Hahaha well I got a lot invested in camera gear and still got more to buy so I am always broke!!! ha ha Thanks for watching Blaine!!
10:34 thermoworks temp reading 145 pit boss reading 430 that’s a big spread…..and my wife says I don’t listen….lol
Hahahaha out of 90k views you are the first to notice that mistake!! I didn't notice until I posted it live!!! Thanks for watching and you get an A+ for listening!!
Get a welder's blanket and throw it over the top. You can do work at any temp.
Ya I have stuff like that but I test these cookers under what they come with. This cooker has a lot of great bells and whistles but it struggles getting to the temp I set it at. Now I know 2 other Tubers that have this same cooker and theirs are getting better the more they run them but mine is getting worse. We will see but I might be sending in the controller soon to get another one. They haven't announced anything yet but Pit Boss is aware of the issues I am having. Nothing earth shattering just taking too long to temp up!! Thanks for watching!!
Good job
Thanks for watching!!!!
Mine started increasing its temp on its own after I changed the temp a couple times. I had to unplug and start over.
Hmmm weird! Call customer service on that issue!! Thanks for watching!!
You pretty much covered everything in this future-packed pit. Hopefully, she handles the tough winter with that double-walled insulation. I love the quick clean out but really love the griddle. Looking forward to your next adventure. Cheers brother.
Thanks Tommy!! Ya I really need to get my griddle seasoned up soon!! So far it is doing ok. I just wish the temps would come up faster than they are right now!! Hoping there is a controller firmware update on this pit also! Have a great weekend brother and looking forward to seeing your brisket cook! I am editing mine now but it will be a while before I get it done!!
Thanks for this video. Helped me get my 850 PS started on the initial burn off. My first cook is going to be fresh Brats. I need to start with the Brats so I can eat sooner and get used to this cooker. For a first big meat cook, I think it will be a Pork Butt. Chicken sounds like a decent cook also for a learning curve cook. Not expensive and not an all day cook either.
Heck ya John and have fun with that new 850 brother!!!
Love the video’s. Bought a 1600 being delivered Wednesday.
Great choice Tom!!! The 1600 is a very nice pit and a lot of value!! Thanks for watching!!
I talked to Pit Boss CS the other day. He stated no Plana to update the PID controller like they did on the 1150. It's a bit of a bummer, but I am definitely buying this one over the 1150. I can't wait. Btw...love your channel and dedication to Pit Boss.
Well there is no plans yet but my guess they will be doing eventually but I would hold off a bit because once I hear I will share with all my viewers. I am having some issues with mine getting to temp. It gets there but takes a lot longer than my buddy Darrin (Ash Kickin BBQ) who lives in Minnesota. So they isn't an outside air difference but his is getting better and mine has not really changed. This pit has a lot of awesome features and I see it becoming a very good and reliable cooker! Once mine gets to temp it holds and runs great!! Thanks for watching!!
So are you NOT recommending this at the moment? Now I am bummed. I want these smokers to trounce Traeger so bad.
I do recommend it but mine is not up to speed yet and I have read on FB that others have had the same issue as me. But others are having ZERO issues. So to be fair to my viewers I can not say it is awesome yet until my temp issues get resolved. Again Darrin's is running a lot better than mine so I feel it is a good pit but there might be a few bad controllers out there at the moment. I have some pretty nice pellet grills that can get to 450° in 15 mins. This thing has taken me 1 1/2 hours to get to 450°. But once I get there it holds great! But that long is not acceptable. Hope this helps and I trust PB to make this cooker one of the best in the market but some of the first batch might have a few issues.
Ok. Thanks so much. Since it's still winter here in Ohio I just might wait till Spring. Much appreciated.
You bet!! Stay tuned!!
While you wait hydrate! 🍺 🍻
I have not seen this at any of the stores that are Pit-Boss heavy. I'm thinking about getting the Laredo 1000. I want to downsize a bit from my Cuisinart Woodcreek.
This pit is a Lowe's exclusive. They also have the 850 & 1150 Pro Series which are good pits! So if you have a Lowe's near by check them out. Thanks for watching Sam!!
Man, once again I didn't get this notification, but hey, it's only day 6! 😀 OK so I absolutely LOVE all the new features, I just don't get why they insist of having an 8" front shelf... My biggest complaint with my Pro Series. I know, at least it has one. But too many times I've either lost or almost lost my tray of meat due to sliding it back a bit to open the lid and BAM! On the ground it goes..... As for the rest of it, LOVE IT LOVE IT! If I upgrade, it may have to be the 1150 as this 1600 is more than I think I would use? But of course the extra space is nice! Thanks Jeff!
Hi Kevin I would wait for a bit before you upgrade but get the 1600 bro. This gives you the chance to do a larger cook just incase you need it!! Solid unit and other are not having the same minor temp issues I am but this pit run solid once it levels off. There certainly is not the temp swings on this one like my old 1100 and that is a big bonus!! Thanks for watching and I posted a new video today, just a friendly heads up!! hahah Like always bro, thanks for watching!!
Yeah, not if in a hurry to upgrade... It's funny how each grill is different. My 1100 doesn't get the temp differences that others get and I always let it warm up 15 to 20 minutes and it all levels out. And good point, no sense on not having enough room :)
Just put mine together today!!!
Awesome!! Hope you are having fun with the new pit!!
Looks nice.. wouldn't trade it for my RecTeq700..
Heck ya Monte and one of these days I will run a Rector set through the channel!! I just need them to send me one and I can see how it preforms!! Thanks for watching brother!!
Just watched this video as I just picked up the 1600 last weekend. Excellent info for those of us trying to learn more. Running the burn off now. Can't wait to use it. The PID controller on this one goes in 10° increments until you hit 300, then it goes up to 25° increments. Would that be the updated controller?
You have the new controller! Thanks for watching!
thanks ricer just got a pitboss lexinton so this video was very helpfull
Awesome Terry and congratulations on the purchase!! Now get posting some videos on it!! Like always brother I appreciate you watching!!
Thanks alot I just bought my first pit boss so far so good! Awesome curing tip!
Awesome brother and glad I could help!! Thanks for watching!!!
I kinda skipped straight to the spray the chamber instead of burning it off first. Would that still affect the taste of my food?
You will be fine. I do it both ways. Thanks for watching!
How do you eliminate pellet dust from kicking up on the grill grates during the burn off or cooks?
The more seasoned the pit the less ash you will see. I get ash in my offset and my kettle. Thanks for watching!
Thanks mate. Regards from Australia 🤓🇦🇺
Thank you for watching Roy!! I hope you have better weather down under compared to here by me!! It is COLD!!! hahah Thanks for leaving a comment brother!!
Needs some flip up grills?
Dood big fan. Love all the walk around reviews. How about a cleaning 🤔.
I will do a video like that soon.
Will you have a chance to review the new Pro Series Elite unit?
Soooooon!!! Hope it is here real soon!!
Pit Boss cookers are notorious for faulty RTD sensors. My Pro Series 820 is off by 50 degrees..
Oh ya my old 1100 was always off also. But now this pit with the firmware update it is rockin solid!!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ yeah I love that they added an ash clean out also.
Thank you!
You're welcome and have fun using it!!!
Sure does looks sweet! Got more room than my Austin xl but they just won’t give us what we want...that 275!!!!
Ya nice features on this pit and I am hoping they update this controller like they are on the 1150 and that will at least give use more cooking temp options for those low n slow temps!! Thanks for watching Al!!!
Dont matter. I had the 1150 and had the controller upgraded still wouldnt hold temp. My external probes less than 2 inches from the internal probe were 125 degrese off.
Just bought one and did the burn off. I emptied out the hopper but there were a small amount of pellets left that had dropped so close to the fire pot that I couldn’t clean them out. Should I be concerned those will swell with moisture and clog the auger on my next cook? Should I empty the hopper of pellets right after I put it in shut down mode and let those few remaining pellets burn off during cool down or will that hurt the machine?
You will be fine! You can't get them all and as long as you use your pit in a month or it is not very humid out they will be fine. Unless you keep it outside and inside the hopper gets wet!!! Thanks for watching and have fun with that pit!!
Just want to throw in my 2 cents. I purchased the new PB1600, and during the Pre-Burn etc, I had an issue. Called Customer Service (the person was very nice), it was determined that the Control Panel was bad. It has now been 4 weeks since that conversation with customer service, and they still cannot tell me when I am getting the new replacement. Currently "very" dissappointed. I am a very patient person, however, that will end very soon.
Dang Pete if you bought it from Lowe's take it back brother!! Say it doesn't work and you want to exchange it!! Man I hope you get this resolved!!
thanks for the awesome video! i really love this unit, due to my budget, i was barely able to get the 1150, how similar are these units? im asking because i want to know if i can follow your burn off technique with mine. Greay video! thanks again
Follow it the same way!!
Nice overview Jeff. Take care!
Thank you Johnny! I really like this cookers feature! I am having some issues with the controller right now but I am starting to come up with a few work arounds until Pit Boss can get back to me on what needs to be done to fix it!! Have a great week bro!!
When you're doing cooks do you put Aluminum foil over your flame broiler?
No. I use to but then I saw that the deflector rusts up more.
APPERAICATE THIS
Thanks for watching!
" I drink, and I know things " one of my favorite GOT lines. Anyway, Ricer this was a great introduction to this cooker. I still don't have a dog in this race when it comes to pellet cookers but I admire well thought out products and this looks VERY well thought out. Will be interesting to see a few cooks on it. While I'm thinking about it, will there be a live this Sunday. What with the super bowl and all. And I see the polar vortex is heading your way this weekend so don't go outside without your hat. Take care buddy and stay warm. 😃👍❄🔥❄🔥❄
Hahaha yes that was a great line for sure!! Yes this pit has all the bells and whistles for sure! I am struggling to get it to my desired cooking temps but I can work around that. I have contacted Pit Boss and once they get back to me about the problems I am dealing with I will share the results. I really like this cooker and I know 2 other Tubers that are not having the same issue so I hope I just got a dumb PID controller and we can get this thing to heat up quicker!!
Yes Justin and I are still going live Sunday. We scheduled this way back in September and with his schedule it is hard for him to do Sunday nights so oh well the show must go on!! We both laughed this week that it might just be me and him on!! ha ha Hope you can. make it but no worries if you can't! Have a great weekend Victor!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ oh I'll be watching. First, I don't get TV reception where I live and I don't have cable ( this is one of the logistical problems I need to solve so I can download Y Tube. Don't either of you give up on me, I'll be putting up a channel and episode's eventually) And I wouldn't miss Justin's interview if I could possibly help it. Justin's channel was the first channel I subscribed to so I'll be looking forward to watching. Fyi, I have satellite radio so I will be able to listen to the game. Just no commercials. 😃👍🍻
Awesome!! Glad to have you join us!! See you Sunday!!
Heck yeah buddy, that’s a great overview and burn off! It definitely looks like a good beefy spacious pit, should be a champ once they figure out the controller. Awesome job brother! Have a great weekend!
Ya Charley I have a lot of hope for this cooker!! On my quest for the perfect pellet grill this pit has all the feature I am looking for so hopefully Pit Boss can help solve my temp issues so this thing can crush it this year!! I am doing some pork butt on it right now and started to do some work arounds to get this thing preheated fast but work arounds are juts a quick solution for now. I will let everyone know once I hear back from Pit Boss!! Thanks for watching bro and have a great weekend!
Great video Jeff! That pellet pit has some really nice features! Love the blue eyes 😂
Thanks for watching Rus!! Ya this pit has a lot of bells and whistles! It is struggling with getting the temps up to speed but I hope this PID either gets smarter or it is going to be riding the short bus soon and get swamped out!! ha ha But the cooks have all turned out but I have stuck more time into them then on other cookers I own! Have a great weekend brother!!
The blue eyes ! Lol 😂
Hahaha ya I wanted to do a cheesy edit and practice some key framing!! Fun but that little edit took forever!!! ha ha Thanks for watching Eric!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ it was awesome!
@@EricsBBQAndMORE hahaha good glad you liked that effect!! ha ha Just another thing that popped in my head!! ha ha
Does anyone know if you can get a barrel thermometer in place of the pitboss placard?
You could drill one in if you want?!?!?!
Why is it that when it’s set to 225 it’ll climb up to 350 like some people say there’s is doing?
Not sure but mine never spiked that high!!!!
Love this video! My new favorite channel
Thank you Andre and glad to hear you enjoy my videos!!! Thanks for leaving a comment!!
I’m loving some of the new changes they have added. Great review Ricer. Ole Blue Eyes !
Thanks Kent!! Heck ya bro I am very pleased with all these new creature comforts!! I am having a small issue with the temps but once it gets there this pit holds well and runs pretty efficient!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
Thank you for such a intuitive video! :-)
Thanks for watching!
You mean Ding dong ditch lol door bell ditch dam cheese heads lol 😆 skol just messing around 😂 awesome video thanks for the informative video rookie smoker here just picked up a Charleston combo
Awesome and welcome to the bbq community!!! Have fun and remember each time it gets a little easier!! Thanks for watching and go Packers??? hahahahha
Awesome video ricer sorry I was late and missed the premier but again great video and that new cooker looks great! 👍
Thanks brother!! I didn't have a premier this time but glad you still got to watch it!! Have a great weekend brother!!
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I just got this grill and I see a little ash on my food is this normal. Not much just enough to annoy me. TIA
Hi Tia that is normal for pellet grills and other smokers but just make sure your chamber is clean and fire pot dumped before any longer cooks to help avoid more ash. Thanks for watching!!
Looks like a great pellet grill ricer thinking about getting one!
Good cooker and has a lot of bells and whistles! I am having a small controller issue right now, I just ain't getting up to temp as fast as I would like but it has done a good job with the cooks I have done! Thanks for watching!!
How does that grill compare to the oklahoma joes DLX
@@farmman33 Well with the addition of the easy clean out and the PID controller it took one step a head of the DLX IMO. Now mine is having some temp issues but I have 2 other Tuber friends that have the 1600 and they are not having this issue. I have a call into my Pit Boss rep and once I get an answer I will share it with everyone but this cooker should be the on the top of everyone's list this year!! Thanks for watching Darrin!!
Thinking about buying one but can I use in winter months?? 🤔
All the cook videos I did on that pit were during the winter months! It works pretty good but like all grills during the winter they burn a little more fuel! Thanks for watching!
Ricer,I'm curious when you reverse sear your 1st steak weather you can sear on you grillgrates with flame open or weather you have to put "GRILLGRATES" on top of your grates to do it.I have a Campchef and when I add GG on top with flame open my lazer temp shows around 630deg(I'm in S.C.)
Nice 630° is awesome!! That temp certainly will crank out a great sear!! I am going to do several types of reverse sears on this pit. GrillGrates, Griddle, and just the flame broiler. I love when I can get my grates up to 650-700° and we will see what I can do with this pit?!?! Lots of bells and whistles on this cooker but I have had a few issues with this thing taking a long time to get to my desired temp. My PID is not learning very quickly!?!?! We will see and I will keep everyone posted on what I find out!! Thanks for watching!!
Just got mine! Mostly because of this great video!!! Weird question...how do you get the interior light to come on?!? 🤷🏼♂️
There is a little light icon on the controller. But once you get the firmware update for the 10° increments the light stays on all the time. hahaha I am happy with this pit but hopefully the next batch some of these bugs are worked out of it. Thanks for watching!
Extremely helpful video. I really appreciate people who take time to do stuff like this. Thank you!
You are welcome and glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching and have fun bbqing!!!
Hallo, I live in Italy and I don't find any dates about consume of pellet? How many pellets consume for hour? Thanks for answer me. Bye ❣️
Hi Gianni. I never really measure that but I always figure I can get 2 - 3 cooks out of every bag of 20 pounds. Now if you are doing a 13 hour low and slow cook well probably only 2 cooks. Thanks for watching and hello Italy!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ thanks a loro ❣️ Hallo from Venice
Honestly had issues getting that slider pot ash on/off when I was testing it at the store. Was impressed with thought idea, but not with the design.
I have zero issues removing and putting mine back in. Weird but honestly it is so easy my boys do it for me after every cook and they are teenagers with a zero attention span. Thanks for watching!!
Im getting the 1150 soon and want to know will the controller need upgraded?
It might. You will know when you turn it on but most have been replaced now.
Great video
Thank you!!
Hi , I just purchased the 1150 , the 1600 is not available in Canada. When I started the burn off , the app asked if I could set the temp to 275 degrees. I couldn't , is this a problem ?
Hmmm I can not answer that question. Does you controller have 10 degree increments? If you don't call Pit Boss they need to update that controller for you!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Yes it does I called PB and they said call the App developer. They think it might be a bug. Oh well the 1150 does a great job. Thanks for the feedback. Happy BBQuing
Look pretty nice buddy! Cant wait to see it cook! Stay warm! Its gonna be that cold here all next week!I'm gonna freeze my hillbilly ass off! Lol have a great week bro!
Ya it is not very friendly out right now Mike!! I even left my car idol for the past week to help speed up global warming so it wouldn't be so crazy cold out this week!! ha ha Ya been struggling with some temp issues on this pit but I am doing some work arounds right now until I hear back from Pit Boss on getting a new controller. Some are have the same issues as me and others are running just fine. Like always thanks for watching and it was -2° out this morning when I started filming a couple pork butts---ugh I am turning into an icicle!! ha ha Stay warm bro!!
Everybody has temp issues at minus 2 lol! Hope you get it figured out!
Hello! Loved this video. I just bought my first Pit Boss. Always had Traeger, where you could put the aluminum sheets under the grates for easy clean up. PitBoss said not to put foil on their cooking elements, but I've seen several videos on RUclips saying they did anyways and love the quick clean up and less burnt drippings messing up future cook tastes. You are the pro... any thoughts on that? I'd really appreciate it.
I used to wrap with foil and then I saw that it rusted it up quicker so I just season mine with canola oil after I clean it up. You do you brother, clean up has been a part of BBQ for centuries. I do mine after every 3rd cook so it doesn't take long at all.
What’s the longest a pellet grill can grill before it clogs or stops?
I ran one for 24 hours and it could have gone longer. Thanks for watching!
I wish the bottom shelf was enclosed with a couple doors
That would be a nice feature! Thanks for watching!
I Called Pit Boss This morning , they straight up told me they have zero plans on updating the control board for the 1600 to have ten degree increments.
Hmmm that is really disappointing to hear and once my rep can confirm that I will certainly share it in a video! I never take a lot of what CS says because they are typically the last ones to know!! ha ha I just want mine to heat up and recover quicker. I don't truly need all the temp settings. I typically cook at 250-275° but I do cook hot and fast at 300° also so I don't mind getting some cooks done quicker anyways. You just have to run those internal temps higher. 210° typically on a hot and fast brisket. Thanks for the update and keep them coming JT!!!
I never had a smoker and I LOVE brisket! I’m doing some research about smokers and it looks like for a beginner, pellet smoker is the way to go. I saw that there’s a 1150 Pit Boss Pro, does it have all the features that 1600 had except the cooking surface? Do you recommend this smoker for a beginner???
The 1150 is a very nice pit!!! Decent size and at a good price!!! Perfect pit for your first one!! Thanks for watching!!
I just bought the 1150. And a new subscriber. When you spray the canola do you spray the door as well?
You can certain spray the whole inside pit. Just don't drown it because the spray runs down and drips all over!
That burn off was fun. I'd be interested rose how it holds up over time. The number of features this cooker has is insane.
Ya Rob I can certainly say this pit comes with everything! Now I am having a few temp issues but I have a call into Pit Boss and hopefully soon it will be resolved. I will make sure that I share with everyone what I find out. Like every new release some have issues and some don't!! Thanks for watching bro!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ issue as in saying it’s 400 but it actually being 325ish?
Awesome video! Hoping to get one soon.
Thank you Teddy! I am very happy with all the feature on mine. I am having a slight issue with getting to my desired temps but once it gets there it holds and does a great job!! I appreciate you watching and keep in touch!!! Have a great weekend!
Great review....gotta get one now!
It is a very nice cooker Robert! I will be honest that mine is having some temp issues but today I did some pork butt and it ran pretty dang good even if it started out -1° this morning!! ha ha I have come up with a few work arounds until I hear what Pit Boss is planning to do to get mine running correctly but my good friend Darrin from Ash Kickin BBQ has not had the issues I have so I might just have a Monday pit!! ha ha But with all these features and how good it holds temp once mine gets there I think this could be the 2021 best mid level pellet grill made this year!?!?! Thanks for watching!!
i can't decide between this one, the cheaper "competition" one from academy or an 1150. any advice? this isn't my first pellet smoke so i don't want to have to upgrade again soon but also don't want to spend more than i need for me.
1600 all the way and if you can swing a little more $$ the 1600 Elite is even a better pit. Thanks for watching!
As always, another great video Jeff! I foresee some potential issues with using the griddle though. I'm interested to see if the cooker will maintain a solid temp with the door open while your cooking your breakfast on the flat top. Also, won't you get a face full of smoke the entire time? I'm hoping the griddle isn't just a novelty feature!
Great point Scott and I feel the same way but I am still excited to try that griddle out! Now with that said I am having a some temp issues on mine but my buddy Darrin from Ash Kickin BBQ is not so I have a call into Pit Boss and once I hear back from them on what we are going to do to get this thing getting to temps quicker I will do some work arounds to help speed things up! Doing some pork butt right now and one thing I did certainly helped speed up the preheat process! Like always bro, thanks for watching!!
If you run the grill on high temps with the sear plate open it won’t smoke a lot and it will get the griddle nice and hot. It’s not necessary to keep the whole chamber a solid temp, just to get the heat to the griddle. It’s kinda like cooking with a skillet on a stove vs a skillet in the oven.
Hello, are you still happy with the Pro 1600? I am from Germany and its hard to find the Pro but not impossible:) maybe you can help me with the decision between Broil King Regal, Traeger and the 1600 Pro. Sorry for me Bad english;)
Guten Tag! haha Yes I am still happy with that pit! I have no experience with a Broil King and I do like the more expensive Traegers. But for value and the heavier build I am very impressed with the 1600!! I will say that hold off a couple weeks on the 1600, might be a new model coming REAL soon!?!?!?!? Like real soon!!! Thanks for watching and ne on the look out in the next month or so!! Auf Wiedersehen!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ thank you very much:)
How do you keep the sear plate and flame broiler from rusting up. Over time mine has become rusty. I've seasoned it multiple times
You don't, you just need to keep adding some oil after it has cooled down. It is just the nature of the beast. But adding some oil certainly keeps it from really rusting out. All my pellet grills have done this. Thanks for watching!!
can you have direct flame on a pizza stone so that the pizza stone can reach 1,000F, will it work safely on this pitboss offset?
I would be cautious on direct heat to a ceramic stone but the metal ones open it up and hammer it down!!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ what about fire bricks?
worth a shot but I never tried it so if it works let me know!!! hahaha
Just bought the 850 pro series. How long is the Shutting down process supposed to take??
Also, as you hold down the primer button, does the auger light stay on the whole time you hold button or no?
No
Take 15-20 minutes.
I love burning logs but this grill looks awesome, I like all the technology! This Cave Man may have to start sitting when he pees and buy a pellet grill! Lol 😂
Haha ya pellet grills get good views but I will have some more live fire cookers this year also!! I just wish my kettle videos got more views but RUclips has decided I do pellet grill videos. ha ha
