    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Exactly and excellent example MoonCusser. It appears that Richard is more intent on trying to act like he knows more than he actually does, (as SlowMotionQue previously pointed out). Most people on here are cool as hell and I've learned a lot from many and have been able to help a few. People...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    All top notch Q joints use offset smokers and manage their temps very well. I'm not going there looking for pellet smokers. That said, any pit master will tell you that maintaining consistent temps is important for your cooks. For pork shoulders and thicker ribs, it is not as important but for...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Hey Mtorell! I went in through the fire pot. I don't you can reach it through the hopper. And it is a tight fit but I was able to get it in about 6" in which was enough to break up the clog. That said, I had another clog that I was unsuccessful with this same approach and had to take it apart...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Hey Richard and thanks for your reply! I should've mentioned in my post but after my first jam, I did start sifting my pellets before putting them in the hopper. Our fire pit screen works perfectly for this! :) I also recently bought pellets from Sam's club and have been really happy with them...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Thanks for the info! The PID I retro fitted it with is the Pellet Pro Smoke Daddy PID. It does go into a sequence where it runs for 15 minutes after I turn it off to clear out that burn but apparently it is not working as well as it should? S'all good. I love pellet grilling (quick cooks) and...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Hadn't heard about Kuma but just looked them up now and apparently they are no longer making pellet grills. Actually they are citing it as putting it "into a state of dormancy", while preparing for new and stringent EPA regulations coming in 2020. Yeah it is frustrating. I love the pellet...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Thanks and I whole hardheartedly agree with you. I actually thought of a gravity feed type of design as well, where the feed tube was slightly angled up and had a shoot to drop the pellets into the fire box, thus preventing the fire from being able to get back in the feeder tube. If I had the...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    So an update and a discovery. A few weeks back I slow smoked some beef ribs for 6 to 7 hours. My PID controller works amazingly well at keeping my temps right where I want them BUT...I figured out it comes at a price. That price for me...on my Pit Boss pellet grill, at low temps (220 to 225)...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Hi all, wanted to follow up on this in case it could help someone else out. I did shoot a little video for it but haven't had time to edit it so it is not too long and more helpful. Long story short is...It WORKED! Not only did it work, it only took about 5 to 10 minutes (including taking the...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Thanks! That's a good suggestion. I have one of those for our drains here and while they work great for that, but I actually tried a bent metal skewer to no avail. Keeping my fingers for that extended drill which should be here this Saturday. :)

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Hey there and thanks. Yeah, actually I'm a smoking/grilling fool so my pellet grills get used once or twice a week. They don't sit long and as I mentioned, we don't have issues with humidity here in AZ. I've mostly been using Pit Boss pellets and like I said, since the first jam, I started...

    Pellet Grill Auger Jam

    Hi All, A couple of years ago, my auger jammed in my Pit Boss FB700. I found a video online of someone with a Traeger with the exact same problem. The build of their unit and of my Pit Boss are nearly identical and I was able to use that video to take apart my pellet grill, remove the motor...

    Thanks! Yeah, right after I posted this, I was already thinking...Ok, time to do some steaks again. :)

    Reverse Seared T-Bone Steaks

    Thanks man! Yeah, I don't get A LOT of smoke flavor (like I would with a long cook) but it still comes in slightly. Better than if I had done the first part on my gas grill or in an oven like some suggest. And Chicago style is more char on the outside of the steak but still cooked to order on...

    Reverse Seared T-Bone Steaks

    Hi All, I normally like to just grill steaks on my charcoal grill (Charbroil Kettleman) as I can get temps up to 1000 degrees but sometimes I like to get an extra thick cut (like 2") and do a reverse sear on them. I've gotten it down pretty good with my set up and so I thought I'd share. 1st I...
