I just got a pit boss pellet smoker that’s WiFi enabled. My uncle was telling me I should smoke a brisket and I was bringing up how you gotta wake up at like 4 in the morning to get that started. He said no, just start it at like 10:00 the night before and let it smoke.
That stresses me out. Like so many things in my mind could go wrong leading to my house burning down. That’s dumb right? Or am I dumb for not doing it?
BBQ and candy ribs, beef cheeks and pork belly burnt ends 👌
it’s like the handle is too long? If we rotate the handle, then it won’t sit in the chamber that it’s supposed to sit in. It’s like there’s not enough clearance - It keeps hitting the side. brand new build. smoker/ grill/ griddle combo.
Shout out to PB customer service! Just had my first error-free smoke. Voiced my problem via chat on their site, new igniter in a couple of days, support here for installation (guidance to YouTube) and all good! Thanks to all!!
Been talking about jumping into the pellet smoker game with my buddies for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. Went with the Comp 850. Any tips/tricks you guys got for me? Going to break her in today after burn off/seasoning with some ribs.
I decided to attempt chuck roast ends for Mother's Day. I think they came off pretty good. Everybody enjoyed them. 8-hour cook time wrapped it at 165 till about 205F
I put extra smoke on it with the cylinder.
What’s the go-to pellets for everyone? Do you guys change pellets based on what you’re smoking? I’ve been using the competition blend pellets for every smoke since I can get them in a 40lb bag and I love the blend.
First cook after a full clean and vacuum. What’s with the burn back?
I ended up wrapping them with butter and turning the temp up to 300 as it was starting to get late. Once they hit 195 I took off the foil to get that good bark back! My family and 1 year old was growing impatient so I ended up pulling them at 195. I prefer my ribs more tender so next time I’d preferably like to wait another 20-30 minutes I think at around 200-205 degrees. Again this is my first time using a smoker and I’m very happy with the outcome considering how much worse it could’ve came out. Thank you everyone for the tips I’m looking forward to learning more.
Just curious, are you just using something like a competition blend for everything you smoke, or do you swap out different pellet flavours depending on the meat?
I notice this after cleaning it for the first time after the first use. I did crank up the heat to reverse sear a steak but only for a few minutes. Has anyone had this problem?
Recently, our pitboss Pro series 1150 has been back burning. While taking it apart to clean out the auger, I noticed the auger was making a clanking noise when running. The auger does not turn continuously. Is this an auger issue or an auger motor issue?
Timeline
Purchased used Pitboss pb700fb1 on fbm in relatively good condition.
OEM control Board would not adjust temps past 250°
Purchased and installed aftermarket PID board.
Pitboss operational for about a dozen cooks and then appears ER1 code.
Cleaned and checked connections to original temp probe. ER1 code still present.
Purchased and installed new aftermarket RTD temp probe. No success. ER1 code still present.
At this point I thought maybe it was the aftermarket board? The aftermarket board was nice, but I desired an upraded board with WIFI capabilities. So I decided to go that route.
Purchased and installed new board with WiFi capabilities.
Upon operation of new board (with new temp probe) a flash of ERR code appears, and then back to flashing a ER1 code with beeping sounds.
For the record. The fan is operational, and so is the auger.
As per the quick appearance of the Err code. Err could be an ignition error. With this new WIFI board, the “Grillir G” control app also shows “Ignition fault” notification.
At this point in time I have ordered a new igniter that should be delivered this afternoon.
(Thankful that these parts aren’t very expensive)
With that being said. Are ER1 codes and ERR codes the same? I feel like I’m the on the right track to start cooking again. If this new igniter doesn’t give me the fix I’m looking for, I’m at a loss and don’t know what else to do. Possibly reach out to Pitboss support? Will they assist me even though I purchased used?
Has anybody experienced a situation such as the one I currently find myself in?
Anyone else have this issue? It calms itself down eventually. Usually get the error of it being too hot but it never gets up to those temps. Seems to do it every time, regardless if I clean the main probe or not.
I bought the tabletop smoker just under a year ago, this morning I went to set up for ribs and the smoker errored out after just beginning to light. I opened it up and found out the auger broke internally, so the motor was spinning but not feeding any pellets. I have the purchase date and serial number but not the receipt, which the site said is needed for warranty claims. Is there a chance customer service will still honor the warranty? I plan on calling tomorrow since they’re closed today.
Was able to yank the original out, drew hair etc. Where's this thing go?
