    Pit Boss 820

    I hope you can get the burn back issue resolved G-Rod. Let us know if you do. That just sounds scary having fire going up the auger. Sounds like I dodged a bullet by going with a different controller.

    That's nice to hear about the SS WiFi version. In my opinion the Savannnah Stoker Controller is the cat's meow.... lol

    Pit Boss 820

    Glad to hear that you are having good luck with the stock controller. The 820 is a great pellet smoker for the price.

    Pit Boss 820

    I have the Savannah Stoker installed in a Pit Boss 820 Deluxe. I have not experienced any burnback at all. Just make sure the lid is up when you start the shutdown sequence. It's all covered in the owners manual that comes with the controller. In fact when cool down is complete the auger will...

    Pit Boss 820

    I called Smoked Daddy & talked to one of the head guys about the Pellet Pro before I made my decision. He did tell me that the fan pulsed. That was one way that they held a constant temp. G-Rod could answer your question better as he has one. Phil

    Pit Boss 820

    Here are some pics. As you can see it's easy to change out wires if need be. You get a new RTD. I just used my old one as the pit was only 4 months old. The food probe also comes with the controller. It has a very long cord. I mean long! I purchased the optional offset...

    Pit Boss 820

    I have a Pit Boss 820DLX.. Love this pit but we have had some wild temp swings. It also was a little light on the smoke flavor. Also on long smokes the meat just didn't achieve the dark rich brown or black that a stick burner has. I purchased the Savannah Stoker PID Controller. Best thing I...

    Pit Boss 820

    That sounds great G-Rod. My Savannah Stoker PID controller is at the Post Office just waiting for me to pick it up. Wouldn't you know it, it is raining cats and dogs here today. :eek: I'll get it installed tomorrow & let you know how it works out..

    Pit Boss 820

    Thanks for the reply.. I talked to Dan over at Smoke Daddy today. He was a very nice person. He answered all of my questions. My main concern was that the Smoke Daddy Pid will reduce the smoke flavor I am getting now. I talked to the wife & she didn't like that. I read that the Savannah Stoker...

    Pit Boss 820

    My 820 cooks really well but I would like more control of temperatures. I'm going to buy the Pid controller mentioned above. But I had a question? Would it be better to buy the whole upgrade kit with the fan, motor, fire pot, adapter plate and the Pid Controller? Or does everybody just buy...

    Need some helpful hints for my next beef brisket on pellet grill

    I have a Pit Boss 820 DLX.. Did you cook with the temp setting at 225 degrees? If I do this then I get some crazy temp swings on the high side. This pit can hold 300 degrees & up with good accuracy. Within 10 degrees up or down.. Not so much at 225.. You could see swings as high as 75 degrees...

    Brisket looks yummy.. ;) P.S. What did you do to figure it out? Did you use the smoke setting or did you use the temp dial? Any help would be appreciated..

    I have the 820 deluxe and I have the same temp swings at low temps. If I want to smoke something at 225 then I use the smoke setting with a pid of 0 or 1. It will hold the temp within 5* or so that way. My unit holds real steady from 300 and above using the temp dial.

    Tasting Like a house fire - what has gone wrong

    I use B&B pellets. I have been very happy. From what I hear they are rebranded BBQ'ers Delight Pellets.

    What pellets

    I use B&B Oak pellets so they are all the same wood. The Oak base and the Oak flavored wood. 100% Oak. lol

    What pellets

    If you live in Texas HEB now carries B&B Pellets. All flavors for 11.95 for a 20# bag. That's where I get mine.

    roll call on brands of pellet grill

    I own a Pit Boss 820 Deluxe Pellet Grill. We have had it for 2 weeks and have burned up around 60 lbs of pellets. We absolutely love it. It had a couple of temperature issues but those have been worked thru.
