Finally! A video that goes through the menu! I've been looking for this! Thanks!
I'm loving the squirrel running on the fence in the background. It has been given its mission orders too...
Just got mine in from lowes. Took it home, put it together and fired it up for burn off. Went into shutdown mode after burn off and it showed in shutdown mode for 90 minutes. Couldn't get wifi to link up either. Called Pitt Boss and was told I needed a new control panel and they had one on the way. Yes I am disappointed that the control panel went out but I was very satisfied with the way Pitt Boss handled my problem. I had a panel go out on my vertical smoker a couple years back and received the same courteous service then. I watched a test comparison between the 1600 elite and a treager timberline and the timberline's control panel went out during the comparison. It happens to any pellet smoker brand. The customer service is what brings me back to Pitt Boss. I picked up a 1150ps3 for my son and its working like a champ. Let you know how the new control panel works when I get it.
Another excellent video. I just got a new Pit Boss 1150ps3 and will be getting the sprays done before the first cook.
Need more video's of this smoker
I wish my 1600 had the P setting nice video !!
Great video. My 1150 v3 is scheduled for delivery from Lowes tomorrow. Can't wait!
Awesome!!
If you read the instructions the P-mode is not for increasing the smoke but is used for stabilising the heat when the ambient outdoor temperature and humidity change. The P-mode determines how long the auger pauses between feeds so as increase / decrease pellet feed distribution times. I started using mine in Arkansas where the summer time heat hovers round 100 deg F with about 80% humidity. The P-4 setting, which is default, was causing my cooker temperatures to vary by as much as 100 deg F. After changing the P-setting to P-5 my temperature settings were absolutely stable + / - 5 degrees. The Lower P settings are used for colder weather.

No its for smoke.
It’s for smoke. They even promote it for smoke
Just received my 1150ps3 a few days ago. Getting ready to my burn off. After I get the oils. Plan on using the Avocado oil on the shelves instead. See what happens
Great video and great info.
Thanks.
Nicely done. Looks to be a pretty nice smoker!
Got some Dino beef ribs on right now. I can’t wait to try them out!
@@GrillSergeant Enjoy!
Man that is one seriously one bad butt grill I'm jealous
I just got a 1150ps3 and did the burn off just like you showed on here. I forgot to get the sprays so I’m going to do that before I start cooking on it. I can already tell it’s a beast and super excited to smoke all the meats!! Keep the videos coming!🙌🏼
Awesome to hear John! What’s the first cook gonna be?
Brisket for sure! Then a whole chicken and some sausages most likely.
Good video👍what is the lowest temperature it runs at?
My heat deflector is basically black crust and rust … and I kept it covered too! Only 2 years and it’s like it came from the titanic
As usual, great video. How often should we burn off and re-season? I have the pro series 1150 ps2.
The burn off you only have to do once. I would think that would be the same with the seasoning as well but after a few months of using the smoker I’ll get a better idea then.
Why did you spray oil on the flame broiler? I just seasoned mine up last weekend didn't spray the flame broiler. Thanks!
What was the point of the oil? Did you put on bottom and top?
How is the heat deflector holding up? Plus after each cook do you clean it and spray it again.. mine is pretty much destroyed and rusted up
Wha?!? No pellet sifting...just kidding, great review, that app looks legit! 👀 🔥🔥
😂 To sift or not to sift. That is the question.
I thought Texans used SPG and that was it when it comes to seasonings. Might have been true until Andrew showed up and now they season with Pam and Avocado Oil...LOL Nice tips Grill Sergeant!
😂 There’s a new sherif here in town!
Does the elite series only have p setting function? I have standard 1600 and I don’t see that option on display screen.
How long does it take the clinking to start I’ve been waiting forever
I kinda want one but I'd end up wifeless and homeless lol good video
I actually made a video about that 😂 th-cam.com/video/56TSlWpAjTw/w-d-xo.html
U won't be hungry though😂
Nice grill do you ever do a grill give away?
How long does it take to get to the 450 temp i know it'll vary by location
Do you spray before every smoke ?
Honestly taking off the guard on the hopper is such a great hack, that thing is annoying lol just don’t stick your hand in the auger (duh) and you’re good 👍
Just ordered a Pro Series1600 Elite. Saw a couple of reports about the temp on the controller reading about 50° higher than the actual temp in the grill on Pit Boss grills. Have you had that problem with your 1600 Elite? Saw there is a company tha makes a heat deflector for Pit Boss pellet grills that fix the issue. Just trying to decide if I need to order it or not.
Man you are in for a treat! I think she runs good. Need to do a few more tests but so far this is my favorite smoker ever.
First, like your videos, well presented.
I am torn between the 1250 cs and the 1600 elite. Other than the shelves and lid? I looked at the 1250's manual and it looks to have access to smoke settings which seems the same as VST (let me know if I am wrong.)
Do you smoke flavor is about the same between the two.
Thanks for reading and responding trying to justify the double cost.
So the Competition Series was hands down my favorite smoker (and still is a great smoker) until I got my 1600 elite. Even if it did not have the pull out racks the VST and rapid fire ignitor are a total game changer in my opinion. The elites now blur the lines from BBQ you could have only gotten with a traditional stick burner. The smoke output and flavor is night a day different compared to all other pellet smokers that I've used. Just finished unboxing the Pro Series Elite Vertical (new video drops Saturday) and with that combo I would be hard pressed to find a "better" smoker than what I have. All that being said, you will still get great BBQ of the Competition Series, but I would throw more coin at the Elites just for VST alone. I'm in the works of teaming up with another channel that has Aaron Franklin's offset smoker ($5000) and going to do a side by side brisket test to see just how close the smoke flavor is. Stay tuned for that...thanks for the kind words!
@@GrillSergeant where is that Franklin cook off review?
@@gosman949 Just waiting for my buddy to come over with that pit.
Or do you sale any of your older pellet grill, im nterested if u do🫢
Does anyone cover their flame broiler with tin foil to make clean up easier?
What is the difference between the Pit Boss 1600 Elite and the 1600 Elite PSE? What does the PSE stand for? The 1600 Elite is sold at Lowes. And they will deliver and assemble for free.
I think PSE is Pro Series Elite.
Hey sarge , do you know if the PB 1150 Pro Ps2 has brushless motors, no one at PB can give me a straight answer , I would like to change out the PID so I can take advantage of the VST. Hopoe to hear from you.
Speak a language. You've got the letters down now all you need to do is create a word. BOLTY
@@Erik-Vadee-VeecheeWTF are you saying ? Speak English
Just got my Austin XL and about to season the smoker why avocado oil on the heat shield instead of regular Pam???
8 months later lol, avocado oil has a higher threshold, 500 degrees.
I just got the new 1150PS3 and did the burn off and l notice that there is no! P setting do you know why they took this feature out ?... I was pretty disappointed. Because I really do like this smoker
1150 doesn't have it. Only the 1600 sadly. Believe it's just a marketing gimmick.
Used bacon UP on my grill and if I end up getting the Pit Boss will probably do the same.
So verify auger is working then just unplug it? Don't turn it off with the power button?
Im with the same question as well. Just got my 1150ps3 as a birthday gift & want to do my burn off but the straight unplugging has me thrown off. Does not mention this in the Owners Manual & I do not want to skrew up my control board either
Using the "Power Button" will trigger a shutdown mode and empty the awer, by just unplugging it you left everything like it is and ready for the next step
Why do you use two different sprays one for the grill and one for heat racks
The Avocado is better for higher temps. The pam is better at non stick.
Is your lid flimsy? The one I saw in store seemed a lot more flimsy than the normal pro series.
That's from whoever assembled it in store... they're not flimsy.
How much of a temp swing is there when you are in smoke mode, can you cook in smoke mode all the time ?
So PID keeps the temp dialed and VTS you will see a 15-20 temp swing but get a ton more smoke at any temperature. Doing some beef ribs right now and they look amazing and the temp swing at 250 was less than 10 so far.
@@GrillSergeant Great love the smoke , thanks Sarge
@@GrillSergeant So is thing thing throwing alot more smoke than the competition series at 250? Does this thing alow smoke mode and temp select at the same time? Cause I can't do that on the competition. I gotta let my stuff role in smoke mode for a few hours and than set the temp.
@@william1252 VST gives all the smoke you want at any temp. It’s truly a game changer in my opinion.
@@GrillSergeant Tits!!! Thanks dude!
Wouldve just used the avocado oil all the way around. I use it in my cast iron. Highest smoke point of all oil
Great video. I was wondering why you switched to avocado oil for the deflector shield instead of just using Pam for everything
I asked that too. Hopefully he reply’s
I bet it has something to do with avocado oil having a higher smoke point.
@@michaeldonnagreen3361I think you are correct, people use avocado oil on flat iron grills for this reason, I used it on the racks as well, I didn't have the other kind.
Good question 🙋♂️
Avocado oil has a smoke point of 500 degrees. That’s higher than the grill spray.
How often do you season your smoker?
About once a year when I do a deep clean.
I just purchased the same grill. I don’t have the same control panel.
Did you get the Pro Series 1600 or the Pro Series 1600 Elite?
I got the elite. I didn’t know they made a elite pse version with the touchscreen. There are 2 versions of this pit. 100 dollar difference too.
Someone's had a couple Hazy's 😉🫠😆🍻
Were you in the army?
I did not serve. Just have a huge respect for those that have. 🫡
This is the pellet grill that i want to replace my propane and pellet smoker with
Couldn't get wifi to connect
Why not spray the whole thing with avocado?
I'm
Instead of pam use some bacon grease
Wow. People are so happy that it has glass so you can see the pellets. Lol lazy . You doing this because you like to and you wanna take your time it’s no big deal just walk over lift a lid. Do you know how many pallets you have?
