Thank you for making this video and others. I just purchased the silverbac Primate combo and I’ve never smoked before. Your company’s philosophy on customer service and support is incredible.
You guys are awesome! I called and talked with Jeremy yesterday mentioning that the original video was outdated and here one day later you come out with exactly what I need as well as all the other new users. Thanks for being so responsive.
Thank you Mark. A video goes a long way in explaining things. I just got my Silverbac this week. Looking forward to my first smoke.
Thanks Mark! The Silverbac is the best smoker and grill that I've used. Keep up the great product & service!
I have owned a trager for 14 years now I owe a grill chimp this controller is awesome the smoke is amazing ! Glad I switched to grilla grills !!!!
Thanks for letting us know Tony!
Hi. Wondering how you connected to wi-fi, and is there an app on your phone I suppose? I keep reading that it has it, but don't see anything in the manual, and was hoping this video might address that. Lot of good information on the video still though.
So looking forward to making a trip across state to pick up a silverback. Been watching vids on the grill since I found you on TH-cam. Yea I know you ship them but I have fam that lives in GR so it will give me an excuse to come visit lol.
Seeing as the z grills 700e and silverbac are identical besides quality would this control panel work with the 700e
Thanks Mark, this will be helpful when my Chimp arrives this week!!!
The first checking this, my feed rate is at 12. Is that the default? What would recommend for doing beef jerky? 180 or 200? A lower feed rate in the edge case? Thx.
I smoked some pork belly to make bacon at 200 degrees. It was about 85 degrees outside, I had to lower the min setting to 5 from the default of 9...otherwise the grill was just sticking at about 275 and Mode 2 would just skyrocket to 300 and stay up there when set to 200 degrees. So far the grill is great, I just find having to do this adjustment annoying, my old GMG Davy Crockett always just did what I set it to, give or take 15 plus or minus degrees. At 250 degrees or more I have done no adjustments and seems to work fine.
So if I'm cooking at high , I can go straight to off/shutdown with out a burn back?
Love what y’all are doing, would love if you got to WiFi sooner than later.
WiFi would completely change what they are trying to do. They want to stay at at a certain competitive price point while making a very good quality product.
Once you add wifi it's going to increase the base price significantly. I personally do not care for wifi.
I would never leave my smoker unattended nor do I think it's smart.
theoretically ..if i wanted to put one of these on my traeger do you think it would work?
Did you ever try it? I'm thinking about trying one on my pitboss 1600.
Had my Silverback for a while. Didn't know what the modes were. What does the pro smoke more change?

If that control board dies and it needs to be replaced, how easy or difficult is it? Is it as easy as removing those two screws I see and removing the wires and replacing the wires back where they are supposed to go?
It's a roughly 20 minute process, pretty much exactly how you described it. What takes the longest is just feeding the wires where you need them to be, and making sure they're in the right position.
Pretty simple for the average person! Here's a video where we show people how to do it!

thank you mark...
How do I adjust the auger feed rate on the Chimp
Contact customer service at grillmaster@grillagrills.com and they'll be able to help you out!
Just replaced my old board with the New Alpha Smoke. Just installed today. It is 85 degrees out side here is Phx, Arizona. At any temp setting 180-240, the grill stays at 240degrees, I can not get it cooler. When I go up say 275 it does an awesome job at holding the temp. So how will I be able to get the temp down? Do I need to change the precision controller number?
Yes there are adjustments on the controller to help the grill come down in temp. Give us a call and we'll be glad to help! 616-392-7410 or email us at grillmaster@grillagrills.com.
Could you add an external temp probe to try to auto calculate the offesets based on cold vs hot weather?
Not currently
@@GrillaGrills that was more like a suggestion for a future enhancement
@@GrillaGrills and why doesn't the feed rate change based on the grill temperature? If it's running hotter than the set temperature, simply slow the feed, and vice versa.
I’ve had to lower my min setting all the way down to .4 here in the hottest of days in Las Vegas. The chart included is a guideline. Even today at 93 degrees according to the weather, the internal temp was measuring 105 when I first powered it on. I’ve dropped to .6 now and it’s beginning to look a bit more accurate. Is this considered a reasonable outcome or so I need to contact support?
@Mark Graham okay glad it’s considered normal behavior. Always keep it in the shade. It’s just really harsh out here during the summer time. At .4 I got within 20 degrees of my target temp. I just adjust for the delta. Thanks for the help/confirmation 😁
@Mark Graham my board died on me, and my warranty just expired, and you guys didn't want to help me. What a shame. I'm very disappointed. I will never buy or recommend anyone buy a grilla grills. I spoke with Jeremy, and he was extremely rude and had no soft skills whatsoever. How can you guys leave a customer hanging like this?
@@sfiv1987 hopefully they see this because they have been nothing but helpful to me. An ugly turnover of staff due to Covid is a common issue running rampant right now. Hopefully that isn’t the case here and they take care of you ASAP.
@AddictedToBoost I really hope Mark will see this, and hopefully, he can help me out. I'm starting to lose hope here after speaking with Jeremy. He said I'm the boss here, and no one else can help you if I can't. I mean, this is ridiculous. I had issues since day one, but i caught covid and was out for over a year. The heat diffuser is warped, and now the board is completely dead, and they don't want to help me?
The alpha Control won’t work . I’ve done a hard reset five times thrown away the app reinstalled it done everything I can and it still drops the Wi-Fi. When I do get it through Wi-Fi, it immediately overheats and shuts down. Very unhappy with gorilla grills.
Mine is in shipment right now!! Can’t wait to use it!!
So what exactly is the difference between Mode 1 & Mode 2? Did I just miss it? Thanks
one is PID mode it keeps temps within 5-10* and mode two is a swing mode that makes more smoke but less consistent temps
I've got the chimp i have done a few cooks in smoke mode to be honest im really not impressed with the smoke. The only difference I see between pid, and pro smoke is the temp fluctuations
Where do I read to understand if my outside temp is 32*F? With that setting change?
Email us at grillmaster@grillagrills.com and we would be glad to help!
This may sound like a dumb question, but I was wondering say I set my silverback at 275 it ends up going to around 290 so do I need to turn my grill down to like 260 to get it to stay at 275?
Not a dumb questions, but no, don't do that. The grill is adjusting, allow it to work out the temperature on its own. Trust the grill.
Grilla Grills I am having the same problem. I set it to 225 and my grill temperature stays at 280-285, it never goes down. I even lower the temperature and it just moves down by 10 degrees.
I was just doing some research on this as well. I live in Texas and it's the beginning of summer. Ambient temperature is in the mid 90's and my Silverbac stays somewhere from 25-30 degrees hotter than the set point.
ryanweary I live Southern California and its hot right now. I did the whole mode, up and down settings and set it to 4 and now the temperature is usually +/- 5 degrees. Play with those settings. I’m guessing the hotter the ambient temperature, the lower the number.
@@ColorfulRevolution Thanks for the tip. Just finished a smoke today - I'll play around with the settings next time.
My mode lights gone can you help
Reach out to customer service at grillmaster@grillagrills.com, they can help you.
I have a Silver Back and I am trying to cook at 180-200 and it keeps climbing to 250-265. I can not get it down to cook at 200 degrees. What is wrong, bad thermostat, I've had this for a little over a year and have dealt with this off and on.
Hey Daniel, there's a few things that could be causing that. Instead of me running through them all in a youtube comment, reach out to our customer service and they'll be able to help you figure out what the issue is.
Why does it say 2.50 for 250 it's like the decimal is in the wrong place
What in the hell is "PID" I hate when people expect everyone to know what abbreviation mean!??
The best way to explain this, without getting into really complex terms, PID mode is a way of cooking that will give you more precise temperature control. It's best used for things like baking, pizzas, and other high-temp cooking where you want the grill to sustain a certain temperature with little variance.
Pro mode, the other mode we have, is exclusive to our controllers. It's has a little bit more variance built into the temperature control, but that leads to increased smoke production.
Hopefully this helps explain the difference between the two modes!
