    Griddle addition to a 700FB

    Another mod which was planned for early April. I added a pellet hopper extender and a forward set of dollies. Very reminiscent of a steam locomotive. I think in locomotive terminology, it would be classed as a 2-2-4:)

    Griddle addition to a 700FB

    It also doubles as a steamer cover to finish the tops of eggs.

    Griddle addition to a 700FB

    I've owned a Pit Boss 700FB for almost 5 years. Trouble free and still looking good accept for a rusty band on the outside of the bottom barrel were the burner pot is located. I acquired another brand new 700FB that was slightly damaged. Decided to change it up somewhat. I installed a front...

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    It's been two weeks since the last batch and the taste test was successful. I didn't want to do another batch until I tested the last results. The flavor of the cold smoked cheese is milder with the remote box than using the A-MAZE-N tube in the grill cavity. The other observation was that the...

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    A quick followup to the toolbox mod on my pellet grill. Currently, I'm fascinated with smoked cheese and after a fairly successful first try, I'm going bigger. I purchased a lot of cheese. In fact, more cheese than I've ever bought in my life. Old Cheddar, Mozzarella, Peppercorn Brick and...

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    Yes, I've seen it work in videos. If I remember, it throws a soft block of metal at the blade. I wonder who the brave tester was. I've seen it demonstrated with a hotdog wiener.

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    I'm missing Craftsman in so many ways. My dad introduced all of his five sons to various tools depending on the soft tissue destroying capabilities. My first powered tool was the "all metal" hand drill, non-grounded of course, which I abused and used as a router and other methods that weren't...

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    I was pondering the same thing. I tested the top of the toolbox throughout the test smoke and although hot, never enough to scorch my delicate office hands. The paint is still pristine, albeit with a new coating of black stuff. I failed to upload a detail of the attach flange to the pellet...

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    Two hours into the test smoke session and the A-MAZE-N tube is still smoking. Although, I think this looks more like TWS rather than TBS. Comments?

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    My wife bought that toolbox for me for Christmas 38 years ago. It's become redundant as I gathered enough tools to fill a rolling tool chest. I thought it was a good way to honor an old friend:)

    Craftsman Toolbox mod for Pit Boss

    I'm loving my pellet grill and have been experimenting all summer. I purchased an A-MAZE-N tube and did my first smoked cheese. I smoked Pepper Jack, Mozzarella and Old Cheddar. After four weeks in the refrigerator, the results were pleasing enough to try some mods to my grill. Using the...

    Small mod to my Pit Boss

    I had the opportunity to create a short video of the mod in action. Plus added footage on the added shelves.

    Small mod to my Pit Boss

    The rod runs parallel to the top of the drip pan. The hole through the side wall is at least 3" above the side grease catcher and outlet to the pail.

    Small mod to my Pit Boss

    Okie Dokie, that worked out really nice. I acquired some AAA top sirloin medallion steaks. Small as they were, we're only small eaters, and reverse seared for the first time in my life. Here's the raw muscle on the grill. 45 minutes @225F and ready to open gates to hell... Gate open and...

    Small mod to my Pit Boss

    I've been experimenting/learning with my pellet grill and am having a great time. Lots of good stuff coming off the grill. So far very standard fare as I'm learning the ropes. I really like the various configurations this unit will allow. However, going from indirect heating to fire grilling...
