    Temp frustration with Pit Boss pellet grill.

    Pit Boss claims the P setting does control the pellet drop cycle at temp settings other than "smoke", the the effect diminishes as you go up in temperature. I can tell you from experience that the P setting has significant effect at 200 and 225 degrees.

    Temp frustration with Pit Boss pellet grill.

    There is a curved and slanted heat deflector panel under the grill - I don't think it's possible to get a tray of water in there.

    Temp frustration with Pit Boss pellet grill.

    No exhaust cap on this one - instead a row of holes in the back. I have experimented in plugging some holes, but it did not make an improvement

    Temp frustration with Pit Boss pellet grill.

    Been a few years since I been on here - new house and new job kept me very busy - no time to dedicate to BBQ, but in all honesty ‐ frustration with my 700 series PB pellet grill is also to blame. Sine I got it (in 2018), I was never able to get it to hold temperature. Swings of -50 to +75...

    Help w/ AMNTS cold smokin in a Pit Boss pellet "grill"

    Are folks getting TBS with the dust and 6x6 tray, without any forced air?

    Help w/ AMNTS cold smokin in a Pit Boss pellet "grill"

    I was under the impression that a cleaner smoke (TBS) is produced at a higher temperature, and thick white smoke at a lower tempteraure. Thus, I thought it best to have something that burns hot to produce a clean smoke and then cools the smoke before letting it hit the food. That's why I was...

    does the dust burn hotter/cleaner? Can I make dust from the pellets I have?

    Help w/ AMNTS cold smokin in a Pit Boss pellet "grill"

    Folks, I have one of the PB 700-series models. I tried cold-smoking cheese this weekend with my 12" AMNTS, and I was disappointed with the thick, white smoke it produced and the bitter, acrid, chemical taste of the cheese after smoking. I have vacuum sealed the cheese and plan to let it mellow...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    @donpachuco The unit really is great, I have no problems whatsoever with it, except for my initial connection to the BBQ Go app. It has largely replaced my ThermoPro TP-08S as my go-to. I love the Inkbird. @duke_meister I think you misunderstand the issue. The unit's instructions clearly...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    Well, I finally downloaded another app called easyBBQ. It's clearly a very slightly modified version of the same app that is BBQ Go. Which is the chicken and which is the egg? Are they both eggs of some other chicken? Anyway, the easyBBQ ap connected right away. And BBQ Go would also connect...

    Today's cook: jerk chicken

    Update upon eating leftovers: I only used one Habenero per whole 5.5 lb chicken. This amount provided a nice, well-balanced heat, but flavor didn't penetrate the breast well. Still, bites of the breast meat can be mopped against the skin or plate to pick up the marinade and get plenty of...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    Wow, I just noticed that the BBQ go app was last updated November 11, 2018. I sure hope they are planning to maintain it, or replace it with something better!

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    @TNJAKE Ah, thank you! I didn't see that plus sign. Now, I just need to meet someone named Lisa so that I can cook her a steak. This will make the unit much more useful. I got this unit to try and "decode" my pellet cooker. I want to know where the hot and cold spots are, and what the temp...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    Okay, I got it to work! Here is how I did it: I downloaded a different app for my phone, called EasyBBQ. This app appears to have the same interface as BBQ Go. In fact, there are a ton of BBQ thermometer apps on the Google Play Store that appear to basically be clones of one another, but they...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    Well, @smokerjim, I do have wireless speakers throughout the house that have bluetooth active all the time. I could unplug them all, but even if I do that, my phone (at least) can still detect active Bluetooth devices from my neighbors. If I step outside, then my phone detects active bluetooth...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    Another thing, if I go into my Bluetooth settings and select "iBBQ" from there, a radio signal icon flashes on the ibt-6xs that looks kinda' like {(.)} , but of course, the phone also asks for a PIN. If I toggle back to the BBQ Go app from here, the icon on the ibt-6xs goes away and I cannot...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    My phone is running android 10. On Android 10, the phone is automatically "discoverable" as soon as the Bluetooth settings screen is opened - there is no manual toggle to make it discoverable. Also, my phone detects the BBQ thermometer, but of course it asks for a PIN if I try to connect from...

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    Okay, I tried pressing the start button on the app AND the button on the front of the thermometer unit, but it made no difference - the attempt to connect still timed out after 60 seconds. I tried a few times

    Please help, can't get Inkbird ibt-6xs to connect to BBQ Go app.

    hello, I am having problems with my new @Inkbirdbbq ibt-6xs thermometer. I can't make a connection to it using the BBQ Go app. I downloaded the app, set permissions to allow location, turned on phone's Bluetooth, turned on the ibt-6xs, open the BBQ Go app, hit the start button, but the app is...
