    New Pit Boss

    Yeah, it just can’t handle that much product on the racks. I was getting better airflow with a smaller pan, but had one too many grease fires for the same reason. I put the factory pan back in, smoke on a lower temp for an hour or so, then have to crank it up to 300+ and do a lot of rack...

    New Pit Boss

    Update: After swapping out the fan and control board, my 7 series (7.1 cu. ft) still performed exactly as it did before with a 20 lb. load of wings, an amount that should not be restricting air flow at all. I was at the $700 doorstop stage at that point. After looking at the water pan for a...

    Need a propane unit to smoke lots of wings twice a week...

    Hey guys, I'm helping out with a restaurant opening and need to hone in on the proper equipment to get a load of wings smoked once or twice a week. Wings are the only smoked item on the menu right now, but I anticipate they will make up a good chunk of sales. The unit will be outside, and...
