    Need help with my WOOD!

    Been a while since I posted anything and haven't really been cooking outside much over the past few years but yesterday I got the itch to make some ribs and thought I'd try using an all wood fire with no lump coal.

    Pit Boss Austin XL Newbie here. 1st Cook was less than ideal!

    Thanks for the reply, I agree with you on the burn off. I've done several cooks this week and the smell has become more natural with use.

    Yeah, that's kind of what I was expecting to hear. I do plan to get a tube to boost the smoke and possibly empty out my hopper to try some straight up Hickory. The competition pellets were enticing in the store but I second guessed that decision immediately afterwards. That and not wrapping my...

    Pit Boss Austin XL Newbie here. 1st Cook was less than ideal!

    Been a while since I've posted here but after receiving a new Pit Boss Austin XL for fathers day and cooking a few times on it I wanted to get some feedback from other Pit Boss users and maybe get a few tips on getting things set properly to get the most out of this grill. 1st impressions are...
