    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    I thought I should come back and give an update. As mentioned before, I got a replacement temp probe but that didn't fix the problem. So, when all else fails, get a new control panel. Got it yesterday, installed it this morning, and ... no error code. I sat out on the porch during the...

    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    Oh yes, cleaned the ash, wiped up any spill or overflow, the whole nine yards. And I made sure to clean the area when I took the old temp probe off. Did startup by the book, made sure the auger was working, made sure there were no jams or blockages, started up in Smoke, waiting for the signs...

    Pit Boss Copperhead ErL error code?

    My wife and I bought the Pit Boss Pro Series 4 from Lowes back in the early summer. It worked great, much better than the Masterbuilt we had previously. That all came to an end on Thanksgiving, when I ran afoul of the ErL error. Nothing quite like having your smoker code out when its time to...

    David's Experiment 1 - Smoked Tri Tip Roast Q-view

    Thanks to all for your comments.  I was sweating this one out, thinking I might have pulled it too early.  We finished the roast off last night, and even though we microwaved it, the tri tip was still tender.  Now, let's see if I can repeat this the next time!  Thanks again! David

    I let this go until the IT reached about 138 degrees F, and then pulled it from the smoker.  Before I laid on the foil, I used a stick probe which showed 137 degrees F.  So far, so good.  Now here we are, an hour later, and I pulled the foil off and started slicing.  How does this look to y'all...

    David's Experiment 1 - Smoked Tri Tip Roast Q-view

    Well, guess I'm just gonna jump in here head first.  Gotta get wet sometime, right? So, here's what I got going.  I bought a 2.3 lb tri tip roast that I'm going to smoke in my MES.  After letting the roast come to close to room temp, I cut away most of the fat cap.  Now, when I've tried tri...
