    Try p0 and see what it runs at in smoke mode. If your at about 180 in p3, I'd would guess you'd be at 205/210. Your doing everything right to learn it. In the summer your p0 might be 230.

    How was the brisket? Cooking at 200/225/250 is the tough temp for stability. If your getting 180s on p3 you should try p0 to see what that runs at.

    Yes, she is wrong, at least with my grill. You can easilly check yours. Turn your grill to 350 and let it get to set point then turn it back to 200, set your p setting to 0 and listen for when the auger goes off. Start timing it when it shuts off. It should be 55 seconds and the auger will come...

    With cookingpellets, perfect mix I'm able to smoke at 125/130 on P7 without loosing flame.  I've put 80 pounds of pellets through the pit boss now and really like it.

    What are you burning? Updated pellet info

    I have Pit boss blend and CookingPellets perfect mix.  Pit boss heats up faster and runs hotter.  The perfect mix I was able to smoke fish at 125/130F without the fire going out. The Pit boss brand could go down to 165.  That's with the Pit boss 820 pellet grill.  Will definitely buy more...
