    Then explain to me why when my RTD when bad, and was reading 340 degrees with my temp set at 225, my Pit temp was floating at 225 degrees. And my point is that you are trying to tell me the inner workings on a system that you've only either read about or heard about. Do yourself a favor and...

    Without using Google can you even tell me what PID stands for and how it works? I can tell you both (it's part of what I do for a living). And according to a knowledgeable Tech Support guy, that I've talk with about an issue I was having, the "P" setting is utilized at all temp settings.

    Appreciate the info on the stack, was just curious if did anything with performance. Then if the RTD controls pellet feed then why do these grills have a P setting? Read what I wrote..."not a true PID".

    Read that bricks help temp swings, just curious if anyone had some real life data. Troutman-temps are monitored by the controller but it does truly control pellet feed. The RTD is there as a high temp fail safe and for the digital readout, it is not a true PID. Jbottorff-was asking about the...

    AMNTS ?

    If you do decide on getting one, try microwaving the pellets before you light them in the tube. They seem to burn better, one minute has worked for me.

    King Griller Akorn in CO

    Have a King Griller Akorn that is retrofitted with a Bbq Guru. Will need a good cleaning and possibly new grates ($35 from the manufacturer). The grill original cost $300 and the Bbq Guru was $159...any reasonable offer and the whole rig is ours.

    Hello from COLORADO

    Used a King Griller Akorn for a couple of seasons but in the last month decided to move to a pellet smoker. Bought a Pit Boss 700 mostly because of the price , couldn't justify an expensive pellet grill for my first go. The convenience is really nice, and have already smoked 4 shoulders that...

    Loving my Pit Boss!!

    Keep us updated on your new rig. Bought a Pit Boss 700 about a month ago and had been running like a champ until tonight. Digital temp was reading 400 degrees actual but the analog lid gauge was at 230. And since my food was taking forever to cook, I would assume the lid gauge was correct...
