    Camp Chef Woodwind Controller on Pit Boss Austin Xl

    There is no mention of the PitBoss controller using PID technology. I put a RecTec PID controller in my CampChef a couple years ago. Big improvement and wifi! It looks like they're not selling the controller anymore but I would definitely search for a PID unit.

    Mak 2 Smoke Generation

    I had a 2012 Mak 2 Star, lost it due to house fire and now have a 2019 2 Star with the latest firmware upgrade. In between, I've had GMG, Traeger and Camp Chef. With a variety of different pellets, nothing compares to the smoke output of the new Mak. I absolutely love this beast. The amount of...

    My CampChef DLX mods

    The backside of the controller is marked as well as the instruction manual. My harness simply plugs in so no splicing. Everything can be returned to stock, if I need warranty work done.

    My CampChef DLX mods

    I saw that RecTec had their wifi PID controller (presumably for their older grills) on sale for $99 and thought that it might be adapted to use with my CampChef. I ordered it and made up a simple harness. After connecting, I got 3 different errors. Turns out that my RTD was incompatible with the...

    Char Griller Pellet Smokers

    I tossed the old controller. There was quite a bit of crud behind the LED display and I figured for $70 I'd get a better controller. It has worked very well but I'm not using the smoker anymore. I just bought a new Camp Chef PG24 DLX, so the old girl is on craigslist.

    Traeger Paint

    If you can get a part of the Traeger to Home Depot, they can colormatch it and mix an amount for you. You can then buy a pump spray bottle to apply it.

    Pit Boss pellets?

    Does anyone have any experience with Pit Boss Competition pellets? I just picked up a 40 pound bag at Coastal Farm here in Oregon for $15.99. Seems like a killer deal if they burn well.

    Great pizza!

    I just picked up a take&bake pizza and threw it on the smoker for about 20 minutes. WOW! That is definitely the way to cook a pie.

    Best method to clean?

    I bought a used pellet grill that had been well used. There are grease stains on most surfaces. I would like to clean it up to repaint it. I've used Simple Green with a 3M coarse scrubbing pad but still can't get them off. What else should I try?

    Char Griller Pellet Smokers

    I found a used Char-Griller that didn't work. I bought a new igniter and temp control from Amazon and a new Ortec controller on eBay. It works as well as my old (US built) Traeger, GMG Daniel Boone and smoked nearly as well as my (lost to a house fire) MAK. I even found a cover for it on eBay...
