Great video - but considering the direction are basically so simple it would be awesome if you started including the directions in your description. Temps & times, etc.
Great recipe, should type out instructions, 250 for 45 minutes, flip, another 20 minutes at 300, they are good to go then. Optional steps:pull them off and sauce them in a pan, return to grill in the pan at 225 for 20 minutes.
@@thebackyardgriller9076 I've made chicken this way 4x before including today now, every time I watch the video again lol, now I've got it written down, but they come out perfect every time, ty for the video!
I used to grill Chicken Thighs but I only do Quarter Chicken legs now. Also, I recommend to try a Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken marinade. It comes in a jar and is sold at most hispanic food grocery stores.
The chicken looks so good. Smoked a meatloaf on my new camp chef yesterday and it turned out delicious . This has me wanting to do some chicken now!!!!
Doug6714 oh man I have been wanting to do a meatloaf that's coming soon. Yeah this chicken turned out great, I used chicken thighs. If you liked this video check out my smoked Turkey breast video it came out darn good. Thanks again for watching.
I live in new England, and barbeque all year with my pitboss. The "p" factor needs to be set for the outdoor temperature and weather you have. If you dial that in, it makes the grill a lot more precise.
Nice job on the thighs looks really good. If you put the thighs on a hour before you cook yours on the smoke setting you don’t need the smoke tube. Mine has plenty of smoke flavor.
I always use the smoke setting for a while first. Only had it a month. Curious if I have my p setting higher during smoke, does it maintain that setting when I switch to a temp, or just smoke when pellets drop for heat?
I used the tube for extra smoke, but I am now using the pitboss brand pellets and I dont use the tube anymore, I had been using the camp chef and B&B brand pellets prior. Thanks for watching!
Good video, great looking chicken too!..... I know pellet grills can be expensive as well as other grills but if you want to cure that fluctuating temp problem get a rec tec grill the next time you buy one, My rec tec smoker never fluctuates more than 1-2 degrees.
Temperature swings is actually normal. Same thing as your kitchen oven. It's okay if if swings around for a little while. Long as it isn't drastic. What's important is the internal temp of your food. I also heard temp sings brings out more smoke, thus more flavor.
It may be the pellets that you are using, I starting using the pitboss brand and got better smoke results but there is nothing wrong with using a smoking tube, go for it and see what happens.
Hi there, I love this grill. I cook on it every weekend. I only use the smoking tube when I will do a long smoke like a brisket. I recently started using the pit boss brand pellets and wow the flavor is a lot better than the more expensive brand that I was using. When I wear this one out I will definitely buy another one. Check out the pit boss pro that Lowe is selling, it is awesome.
My Traeger is in C not F , so are you really cooking these thighs at 250f which only works out to 130c (Cool temperature)?, Then up to 300f 150c (Very low) ?
David Vinal I apologize for the short reply, I was in a hurry this morning. The smoker itself provides good smoke flavor but I like heavy smoke flavor and this tube provides that. It is much more fuel efficient cooking on the pellet smoker than it is on my offset smoker in my opinion, Hope this helps.
Yes you will benefit from using a smoker tube. Pellet smokers don't put out a lot of smoke. It's also good for using different pellets without having to empty the Pellet box. I use pecan as a base smoke for all my meats I smoke. I'll use the tube for different pellets based on what kind of meat I'm smoking.
@@nicks.12 Generally speaking,with most smokers,the higher the heat setting, the less smoke. This is just a combustion rule. The tube makes up for the less smoke gotten at a higher temperature. To compensate somewhat, I sometime start out at a temp of 190 for a while, just to assure more smoke is created, then turn up the temp.Or just use a tube to begin with. Or both.

very good question, I set it to 6 to get more smoke. the higher the P setting the more smoke and less heat. If you want to cook hotter you decrease the P setting. i get great results with this set up. thanks for watching.
Jeff asked about the P setting working only on the smoke setting and my experience with the Pit Boss is the smoke setting allows you to reset the smoke setting while it is dialed in on the smoke setting. After you move it up to a higher temp it will stay on that setting until you turn off the grill and then it goes back to the default which on mine is P4. I can tell you this cause it has happened 2 times to me already and that is that the flames will go out on 2 low a temperature on mine, I turn the dial no lower than 225 now and still low and slow enough for great smoky results.
henry lara hello there, the additional smoke flavor of the tube is great. Not that the grill itself doesn't produce good smoke flavor , I grill and smoke without the tube very often with great results. I use the tube for longer cooks. Thanks for watching.
My pit boss 700 does not need a smoke tune... you open my lid and 10 times the smoke rolls out of my unit then yours . I wonder why you have so little smoke??
I haven't used the smoke tube in a while, my grill produces very good wood flavor but I changed pellet brands, I now use the pit boss brand and wow what a difference. What brand do you use my friend?
Sally Wieringa good afternoon, I use it to add more smoke flavor. I rarely use it now since the more you use the grill the more it gets seasoned and you get a more intense smoke flavor.
I agree with that tip! I hate any sugars in my pit anymore. Smoke On!!! \m/ Hey Bro!……you got some good Vids……why don't you have a pix of some sort for you channel? Just a suggestion.
dlt21 good afternoon, yes about 2 1/2 hours roughly. Also depends on the size of the chicken thighs, always check the internal temp to be safe. Thanks for watching.
3: 24 - STOP RIGHT THERE! The chicken is done! Why would you continue to cook it any further, and at higher temperatures? 20 more minutes, at 300 degrees, to crisp the skin, and likely over cook the chicken? And then you put them back on the smoker, after applying BBQ sauce, at 225 degrees for ANOTHER 15 or 20 min? Wasn't the chicken done at 165 degrees? Aren't you asking us to over cook the chicken?
I was looking for good BBQ bone in thigh instructions. Noticed you have a Pit Boss just like mine, so I thought I would try how you did your cook. I did it just as you instructed in your video and it was the best bbq chicken thighs that I have ever had. My wife raved about them. I am new to cooking on a pellet grill. Have only used it three times so far. Thank you for sharing your information!
Great video - but considering the direction are basically so simple it would be awesome if you started including the directions in your description. Temps & times, etc.

I am so trying this. I'm a beginner so I love the way you make this look easy. Thank you!!

Just bought Pitboss Austin XL pellet grill and I am going to use this recipe on chicken leg quarters
Get a green mountain grills, the temperature stays consistent and that’s important. Nice video to cook chicken on the pellet grill, thanks 😊

Those look great! I have 6 pounds drumsticks and thighs in a brine while I'm at work. Gonna throw them on my traeger when I get home!
Man that sounds awesome! Thanks for watching, hope they turn out great.
Nice job!

Correct.
I did some chicken legs with a nice Jamaican Jerk seasoning. Turned out really well. Might do thighs this weekend with my girls.
Oh man that sounds delicious!
@@thebackyardgriller9076 I spent all morning at work thinking about what else I want to try smoking. Crappie, Bass, Catfish, even cheese curds,lol

joekidd2211 thanks!
Why the smoker tube? Doesn't the grill smoke with he pellets? I just got my first Pit Boss Pellet Grill today
I used the tube for extra smoke, but I am now using the pitboss brand pellets and I dont use the tube anymore, I had been using the camp chef and B&B brand pellets prior. Thanks for watching!
I forgot to mention play around with ur P setting for ur desired smoke output. Thanks again.
so, increase the P setting gives more smoke. I have it set to 4 right now. Doing my first rack of ribs
@@RhinoRider2006 yes, I set mine to 5.
Good video, great looking chicken too!..... I know pellet grills can be expensive as well as other grills but if you want to cure that fluctuating temp problem get a rec tec grill the next time you buy one, My rec tec smoker never fluctuates more than 1-2 degrees.
Harold thanks for watching.
Ya, but your rec tec probly cost twice as much.
@Larry Harlow So when you open the lid it only drops one or two degrees?
Temperature swings is actually normal. Same thing as your kitchen oven. It's okay if if swings around for a little while. Long as it isn't drastic. What's important is the internal temp of your food. I also heard temp sings brings out more smoke, thus more flavor.
Why would you also use a smoker tube in a smoker?
I wanted more smoke, I started using the Pitboss pellets and I have not used the tube. Thank for the great question and for watching.
Also because pellet grills gives a clean smoke it's not a dirrty smoke like stick burners So adding a smoke tube gives you a lot more smoke flavour.
Allen Brock huh?
For juicy fall apart I either slow cook wrapped with foil in oven first then put on grill and basted with the juice I saved
It may be the pellets that you are using, I starting using the pitboss brand and got better smoke results but there is nothing wrong with using a smoking tube, go for it and see what happens.
Also if you cook them in the oven first then finish them on the grill that is the reason you are not getting much smoke flavor.
Ok I will try it thanks for your help
How do you like the pit boss and what’s your thoughts now about the smoker tube

Why do you use a smoke tube on a pellet smoker? Just curious is it for extra smoke since the cook time is so short?
I use it for extra smoke, it works very well. Thanks for watching!
I want to get a smoke tube my Traeger doesn’t smoke enough .
Yes I will try it . Thanks I appreciate your help
You do realize that once you are off of "smoke" the P setting doesn't do anything, right? It only controls the pellets while in the smoke setting.
Yes, I read the manual.
Do you soak the pellets before putting them in the tube. Or just put them in dry?
Tony Terrazas no, you should never soak any pellets, you will destroy them.
The Backyard Griller ok. Thanks
why the smoke tube if you are using a smoker to start with? Not being negative, just curious.
David Vinal for extra smoke.

It's personal preference but I agree , the P4 works well also.
Great job God bless
Quick question
have a pit boss coming and curious why you changed p setting to 6 ..from default
very good question, I set it to 6 to get more smoke. the higher the P setting the more smoke and less heat. If you want to cook hotter you decrease the P setting. i get great results with this set up. thanks for watching.

What was the total approximate cooking time for the smoke and sauce?
Mike Grant they will take about 2 1/2 hours, get the internal temp between 168 to 175 depending on how you like your chicken.
@@thebackyardgriller9076 I thought internal themp on chicken is supposed to be 165. Doesn't 175 dry it out?
@@rupman27isback thighs will not dry out at 175 , good question.
