    Pit Boss 1100

    I initially had problems with the right side being much hotter than the left. Pit Boss customer service told me to remove what they call a diffuser (the thin piece of metal with the hole). That worked. I also get a hot spot over the fire box when cooking at higher temps. If I am cooking...

    Pit boss xl temps

    I have the Pro Series 1100 and had the same issue. It ran much hotter on the right side and the variance increased as the set temp increased. If I set the temp for 300, the right side would get up to around 500. I called Pit Boss customer service and was also told to remove the heat diffuser...

    Hot spot

    Just an update...I cooked 4 racks of ribs on my Pit Boss PS 1100 over the weekend after removing the stock diffuser. The grill maintained very even temperatures from right to left.

    Thick Cut Ribeyes. Smoked and Seared.

    Great looking steaks! I haven't tried steaks on the pellet grill yet. I've always used the low temp cooking and reverse sear method for thick steaks and roasts on gas grills.

    Hot spot

    I was very surprised by the difference removing the plate made. Correct, there is still a hot spot directly over the fire pot. When the temp is set to smoke or below 250 it is negligible. Thanks for the heads up on the smoke daddy diffuser. I was thinking of getting one.

    Hot spot

    I have the Pit Boss Pro Series 1100 and had a similar issue. The right side would get much hotter than the left. The problem would magnify with increased temps. If I set the temp for 350, the left would stay around 350 while the right would get as high as 575. I was ready to return it but I...
