What I usually do with my grill. I get a storage tote fill it half way with hot water and cleaning chemicals. Put the grates in the tote and let them soak for little bit and scrub them down and everything looks good as new.
Great info Robert!
I use an orange degreaser on my Pit Boss smoker. It cuts the reside almost immediately. Then I wipe it off with a sponge. I rinse the sponge in a bucket of hot water. Them I wipe it all down with a clean sponge and let it dry. Looks new every time.
which degreaser?
I've got a 5 and love it! I've used all your tips and tricks and have had zero issues. Cheers!
Great to hear Harry! Cheers man!
I use SOS pads on the window.Doesn't scratch the glass,but does clean off all the gunk. Then dry with paper towel.
A razor scraper does not scratch the glass either 😂
I got the v2 and the v1 seems really nice but everything has been improved, even a stronger base. It’s amazing
Yep!
Thank you for all the great recipes and tips. Love your channel.
Thank you April!
Dry steam is the best way to clean. They are expensive for a unit but you can use it around the house also. Wet steam will hurt all heating elements.
Magic eraser works really well on the glass with hot water
this is a very helpful video
I take my grill racks and soak them in warm water with dawn dish soap for about 2 hours. The gunk comes off like magic
We also spray the grills down with Pam before placing the meat or what ever on and the clean up is amazingly easy
Thank you for the vids. Are you able to fit a full packer brisket on there without cutting it??
I used mine hard on labor day, 3 days worth of heavy smoking and she was looking horrible! Used Easy Off grill cleaner and a couple rolls of towels. Run the burn off after that to get rid of any residual and good to go.
As long as she works good I’m fine if she looks bad 😂
I use the Easy Off also. It melts the schmutz away no problem.
Make sure to clean your temperature probe often too. New ones aren't difficult to find, but they are a bit of a pain to remove/reinstall. I've had mine about 9 months and I'm very happy with its performance.
Great point!
I'm a newbie to the vertical world, I haven't even received it yet. But I'm getting anxious. That being said, what do you use to clean a temperature probe?
@@tonyguyette7138 A tooth brush and a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water will get the job done.
I usually wipe my smoker glass with shop towels and fresh water after each use and it wipes off very easily.
This is the way 😂
😂
I use distilled vinegar and shop towels on mine after every one or two cooks. Wipes right off.
I use ashes mixed with water and a brush. Same thing with my fireplace glass inside the house
So grill sarge what is better do you think for a smoker a two door or one door smoker?
Have you used this smoker in cold winter temperatures? Here in Canada, its not out of the ordinary for it to reach 15 or 20 degrees below 0 (celcius) I just ordered one of these off walmart. So excited to build it and get it smoking!
Little Blue Loctite on the screws will help keep them tight but still removable. Thanks for the videos.
Great idea!
Hmm those screws look like a good target for threadlocker
I have had mine for 2 years and it has developed a pretty bad hot spot in the rear center
When is the cook off of the Brunswick vs the pro series vertical smokers. Wondering if you get more smoke flavor from the older style vs the new style smoker.
Sounds like you just gave me my next video idea!
I just want to add a word of caution for all the smokers out there. I have worked Advanced Critical Care for 20 plus years now, oddly, nobody ever really thinks about this. I have seen (2) two people dies from perforated bowels from wire coming off the brush, injecting these and perforating their bowel, this is an ugly, ugly death to see happen to anyone. It’s just something we (I) never thought about until now. Nylon bristle brush is highly recommended, just an FYI guys. PLEASE do not swallow a wire bristle, the outcome is never good.
If only nylon brushes were tough enough to clean the grates. I usually use a wire brush but will also wipe down the grates with a oil cloth to make sure no bristles got left behind...
Your scrapping off the flavor dude…wtf. Lol
👍 and sub’d.
How did you clear the jammed auger ?
After I let the machine cool down. I turned it back on and the auger unjammed itself. When you let it cool down some of the pellets in the auger will still burn till it goes out...
What are your thoughts on the version 2? it seems to be slightly smaller than the version 1 of the pro series 4. I note that is does have the PID/Wifi/Bluetooth and similar features as the Brunswick. I noted at my Lowes, there are still some version 1's available. would you just go with the most updated one?
I’ll be dropping a V2 video hopefully by tomorrow! Stay tuned.
Awesome can’t wait
Hopefully we get the PID wifi controller upgrade soon for this. Any word from your connections At Pit Boss?
I'm still being told soon. If the only reason is because the wires are too short I'm tempted to try and just buy wire extensions and see if it will work...
Whats this mean? New to this
im thinking about getting one of these..should i ?
Absolutely. If you are just getting into smoking this would be a great place to start.
did you get one yet?
@@paulm283 yeah got the model with the controls on the side..so far no issues i like it..did buy two pellet tube smokers to add to it for when i want a heavy smoke flavor for/on certain things..works great
I’ve been trying to by one these models and Lowe’s don’t have them I’ve checked stores in other states since I drive a truck in several states. Then I checked to see what state they were made in and found out the dam thing is made in CHINA.
My digital screen went stopped working can it be replaced?
I think so but you would have to call Pit Boss.
Does the smoke leak around the door? Thanks
No. The doors are sealed pretty good. If you have any issues they sell smoke tape to really help trap heat and smoke if you see any issues.
Thank you so much sir! Great video! I'll purchase one haha
Anyone ever try a steam cleaner on them?
What’s are the differences between the 4 & the 5???
The difference between 4 and 5 is 1. It’s simple math. 😂 But for real I think it has to do with internal racks possibly. If you are looking for a vertical smoker Pit Boss has a lot of options to look at. I would check out the Pro Series 4 V2 at Lowes or the Competition Series at Academy.
I see Nop
Nop
Codes on mine. But it still works. Whats Nop? I think they are codes
It could be the internal probe shorting out...
It stands for No Probe, means you don't have any of the meat temp probes plugged in. It's not an error code, that why it keeps working.
@@ChrisK-LTC
😰 thank u much! I just bought it semi new. Was freaking me out lol
Is this what is now called the Copperhead?
No but the pro series 4 in this video and the copperhead are almost identical.
@@GrillSergeant Thanks a lot. There isn't a ton of info available comparing those models. I'm looking to buy one off their website as I get a significant LEO discount. Love your content. Thanks again.
@@pswick07 Love that Pit Boss offers those discounts! Thanks for watching my videos
ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE PRO SERIES 4 V2?
I told myself when my current model gives up the ghost, I’ll upgrade. Just kidding, these smokers are like iPhones you have to get the latest one even though there is nothing wrong with the current model. 😂
I just got the v2 and its awesome with all the new upgrades! But I haven't found any youtube videos on it yet. Have you guys?
Based on the sarge’s recommendation I went to Lowe’s and ended up getting the pro series 4 . This one comes with Bluetooth and WiFi
@@JC22666 We just got one as well and love it but we were disappointed in the lack of smoke flavor in our ribs. We had a hand made rub did the preheat and put them in for 4 hours at 250 degrees and thou they turned out fall off the bone there was little smoke in them using competition pellets. I plan on doing a couple pork butts this weekend and might try using a lower temp setting for more smoke. I have also heard of people using the p4 setting but the instructions dont seem to tell you if there is a setting like that in this one.
@@GaryNaese I used the competition blend and the charcoal and mixed them 50/50 and it came out with good smoky flavor but if your looking for more smoke flavor pick up a smoke tube. I really liked how the ribs and pork butts come out.
