    Smoked turkey

    On the subject of smoking turkey, should I brine, inject or use turkey cannon with broth?

    Correct, the stock PitBoss controller does not re-light. but the Smokedaddy PID is supposed to.

    I thought if the temp dropped below 140 it should re-lite?

    I performed my upgrade to the Smoke Daddy PID this weekend. I noticed right away on the first burn that is was regulating fan speed and auger speed continuously as expected. But the temp was swinging big time. set at 350 and it was going 340 to 395. Does this controller auto learn over time...

    At one point it hit 320 and I was opening the door to let heat out. It didn't help that it was midnight, I was tired and a little drunk....:) then the next day I was in Smoke mode at P3 and had no issue

    I tried to do an overnight brisket last weekend and it failed miserably, (although everybody loved the brisket) I get a pretty steady temp if I just stick with smoke mode. It was really humid and the fire kept going out on me at a P4 setting. So I set the temp to 200 thinking is would keep the...

    Bad Pellets.... ???

    I just opened my second #40 bag of PB Comp pellets from LOWE'S (different store) and they look pretty good. So now that I know I will take them back if I get a dude bag

    my 820D is definitely been updated. my P setting is displayed and adjustable all the time. it even has an explanation in the manual that says once the desired target temp is reached. the P cycle resumes to try to maintain that temp.

    Bad Pellets.... ???

    Thank you for the replies. Not really knowing what to expect, I wasn't prepared to return it. But know that I know it should not be half sawdust I will check the next bag. I ordered a charcoal bucket with a lid to keep my fuel in. I suppose as my experience grows I may look at the AMNPS tube...

    Bad Pellets.... ???

    Not sure if this is on subject or not? I have had my pellet grill for a month. I bought a 40# bag of pitboss comp blend for $15 at lowes. The price seamed to be quite a bargain. being a newbie, I dumped half the bag straight into the hopper and fired it up. made some steaks and shut it down...

    Just Curious since I am still learning about my system. when you say you can't change P setting out of smoke mode, do you mean it doesn't affect the cycle or your button and display don't respond to the button push?

    that was my experience today. going from smoke to 200 did nothing in P3. going to 225 jacked it up. I think mine may have an update. because going down to smoke is supposed to run the augers for 4 minutes and mine did not do that at all today.

    I would say my experience today would contradict that. out of smoke mode, reducing the p setting reduces the huge temp swings. I am certain I will be testing further after a very successful smoke totay
