    Trying to choose smoker for husband. Is it worth waiting for Memorial Day or Father's Day sales?

    Doubt your going to see too many deals on pellet smokers any time soon as they are hot sellers right now, I would either let your husband choose the grill of his choice or you can't beat a pitboss austin xl for 447.00 from walmart.

    Camp Chef vs Pit Boss Pro

    They are still updating the controllers ( or now replacing them with updated controllers ) if you tell them you have done what I posted above and it's still not working right. The grill is very well usable so I'm going to give it a bit of time and see how things shake out. At 600 bucks for the...

    Camp Chef vs Pit Boss Pro

    Finally got to use my pitboss and I do not have the updated firmware, I did try using the grill set at 250 and it dropped to 225 and held solid there so I opened a case with pitboss and the response was as follows. Hi there! This controller has a proprietary PID (proportional � integral-...

    Camp Chef vs Pit Boss Pro

    Yeah I had read about the firmware update, not a huge deal if I have to send mine in because the PB is at our seasonal campsite and we are mostly only there on weekends so if I have to go a week or so without the grill I can use the gasser until I get it back. At home I have a big horn pellet...

    Camp Chef vs Pit Boss Pro

    I just got the PB PS 1150 but haven't even used it yet . I shopped for weeks comparing grills and the PB just seemed like the best bang for the buck ( 5 year warranty vs 3 and I like the removable burn pot better on the PB because I can vac out the bottom of the grill without the messy job of...

    Got me a new smoker

    For me I'm just into the pellet thing, been heating my house with them since 2005 and just like the simplicity and taste from the pellet grill.

    Got me a new smoker

    Pitboss 1150 Pro Series, this one is going to our camper and the bighorn is coming home since we do most of our grilling at the campground. Gonna be a few weeks yet until I get to use but I can't wait.

    How often use your gas grill instead of pellet?

    We use the propane for breakfast because it's just quicker to fire up throw the griddle on and start cooking, we usually make some type of potatoes with dinner and they go on the gasser and when we make corn on the cob that goes on the side burner.

    Big Horn XL Pellet smoker

    I'm a bit late but for anyone in the future I installed this Ortech in my bighorn in 2018 and it works better than the factory controller the only thing is you lose the hopper lid switch. https://ortechcontrols.com/

    Big Horn (Pit Boss 820) Startup Explosions

    It depends on how I use it, If I do a long smoke I clean it before next use, if I'm just grilling every 2 - 3 uses

    Big Horn (Pit Boss 820) Startup Explosions

    I have the same big horn and mine does not feed pellets after shutdown, If that's what yours is doing that is your problem, The burnpot is filling up with too many pellets and not allowing enough air through the pot to ignite properly then the gasses build up and when it finally ignites your...
