Pit Boss at Menards
I tried all the settings. It has 7 "P" settings for the auger delay on smoke setting. I tried all of them. On P07, which is supposed to be the slowest/lowest temp setting it was still pushing 300 degrees several times. Set on 200, which was the lowest cook setting, I believe, it was...- jamyj

Pit Boss at Menards
Nice! I want the grill grates too. Future xmas gift maybe... for now I still have the Tru-Infrared grill for warp 10 heat/searing. Gonna smoke some burgers tomorrow night then finish them off on the tru-infrared. How do you get your bbq equipment listed below your name on every post? Is...- jamyj

Pit Boss at Menards
The pitboss pellets at menards seem ok. Will definitely work in a pinch. I got my Rectec yesterday and LOVE it. I made bacon wrapped, stuffed pork tenderloins last night and right now I've got some beef and st. louis ribs going. Set it at 225, left my house and went to town for 2 hours...- jamyj

These look amazing. Would love a link to the recipe if you have one. I've made some decent ribs but have yet to master them.- jamyj

Pit Boss at Menards
Yup, I emailed Dansons twice and called once. They never did reply to my emails and the phone call was pointless as the "guy I needed to talk to" wasn't there. That's when I broke down and called Menards. The rectec should be here Monday. Now just to decide what to break it in with..... ...- jamyj

Jamy from SD
Thanks Gary, I've got a Maverick ET-732 to watch temps on the bbq and the meat. GREAT tool I can't recommend enough. This was a major contributor to the decision to take the Pitboss 820 back. My Maverick let me know just how out of whack the temp controls on the pitboss were. -
Jamy from SD
Hey guys, I'm new on here. My name is Jamy and I live near Yankton, SD. I've grilled for years and own a Charbroil Tru Infrared that I LOVE. Better than the Weber I used to own. I've been thinking about getting a smoker for years now, and finally broke down and bought a Smoke Hollow #4... -

Pit Boss at Menards
Thanks guys. Got my Rectec on order and am really excited. Ended up spending more than I wanted but sometimes you get what you pay for, I guess. The guy at RecTec was really nice on the phone, gave me a discount on shipping, and threw in 80 lbs of pellets for free. I was really impressed...- jamyj

Pit Boss at Menards
Hey guys, after using it 3 times I've got to retract my comments about the Pitboss 820 from Menards. I can't get it to hold lower temperatures. On the "smoke" setting it routinely climbs into the 280-290 range. And set at 200 degrees (lowest cook setting) it floats between 220 and 270. ...- jamyj

Pit Boss at Menards
Thanks Red. It's the Pitboss 820; pics and specs at pitboss-grills.com. It has a digital controller that has a "smoke" setting that you can fine tune from 170-220 degrees, and then it has cook settings at 200, 225, 250, on up to 500 degrees. The hopper holds 20 lbs of pellets, I believe...- jamyj

Pit Boss at Menards
Bought this grill/smoker (Pitboss 820) at Menards on Tuesday and am very impressed so far with the quality. It is heavy duty steel with a nice powder-coat finish. Got up early Wednesday and assembled it, did the initial start up and burn off on high for about 30 minutes (it got up to temp fast...- jamyj
