pit boss pellet grill 1000

[siege]

another question about the pitboss, will I get the same amount of smoke on my meats using the pellet smoker verses the mes 30 with amnps

The most interesting aspect of pelet smoker/grill to me, is Set to the just smoke or to the 225 degree setting, you get ample smoke. Set at 300 where I usually do roasts, you get light smoke, but very tender meat. Go up to 400, 450 or so, you can bake bread, make cookies, etc with almost no smoke flavor at all.
We have had highs in the 90s for weeks, and not running the oven in the kitchen was been wonderful.

You are a man of great wisdom. After all, you married a lady who wants to buy you a pellet smoker. If she's not a keeper, I don't know who is. Better make her something special when you get your new toy home =)

picked it up Monday, got it put together, did a burn off Tuesday and then some chicken for supper, last night hamburgs and hotdogs, hopefully will be smoking some ribs this weekend to see how the smoking feature works from what I see it should be just fine, I can see myself using this quite a bit,

Looks great to me,I see the smoke pipe cap is adjustable, makes me wonder how much it can restrict air flow? keep us updated

yeah that was going to be one of my questions, how low do you guys lower the exhaust cap.

 

[mike243]

mines not made like yours,mine is more lke a caped tube that goes almost level with the tube but it cant close it off just slows down the smoke a little

I tried mine from about as low as I could set it to wide open and really didn't notice much if any difference. I finally set it fairly open and left it. With the blower forcing air through the smoker I don't think the cap matters. IMO it's just for looks.

congratulatioins on your new pellet grill, I know your gonna love it. In regards to the rain cap, my new campchef has a similar cap and the instructions with it suggest setting it 1 1/2 inches open in the summer and 1/2 inch in the winter.I am guessing to hold the heat in better in cold weather, but I smoke alot of fish and on my old mes 30 i always ran with vents wide open for better flow. when it gets cooler outside I might choke it back a bit and see if any difference , but with the pellets fan circulating air constantly, i cant see if it would make much difference

I think what it dose is stop the wind from pulling the smoke out faster if the wind is blowing when its set lower, that and $5+ tax will get you a coffee at starbucks I have heard lol

 

[smokerjim]

ok, thanks everyone, guess it really doesn't make to much of a difference, yeah I think i'm going to enjoy it, now like a lot of you guys I just need some time to use it more.

Be careful bro, you may end up going through more pellets than you think you would. These machines are addictive....

yeah I can see why people like these, so easy to use, heats up quick and holds temps easily. didn't get to smoke some ribs yet, that will be the test for me
