- Pit Boss Vs Pit Boss Which One Should You Buy? Both of these Pit Boss Pro Series Pellet Grills are a good choice but one is a little better than the other but is it worth the extra cost? I have had a lot of epic cooks off the Pro Series 1600 but the new Pit Boss 1600 Ultra Mega Elite does even more! But if you are on a budget the Pro Series 1600 still kicks azz!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Exactly the video I needed to see before buying. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you for the review!
Loved the video Ricer. Great informative entertainment. Your channel is by far my go to for back yard barbecue fun!
Thanks brother!!! I am happy to hear I am your go to!!! Like always William, I appreciate you watching!!!
I really enjoy your review videos! Thanks.
Thank you Bradley, I appreciate you watching!
My man sneaking this bad boy in during the week! I loved the time I had with my 1600 and this upgraded 1600 pro series looks like another winner from Pit Boss!!
Hahaha ya I had it all edited and figured why not post it so I can get on to the next one!!! ha ha But I have been thinking about moving to Wednesdays anyways. Gives me the weekend to film again and not just sit and edit!!!! hahaha Oh ya the Elite is a very nice upgrade from the OG 1600!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
Another great video at 4am thanks ..
Thanks for watching brother!!!! Hope all is well!!!!
Nice comparison👍 The foldable shelf was a great change.
Heck ya Bobbi!!! Sorry for the late reply on this but I had so much day job and family stuff the past couple weeks my head is spinning!!!! Like always thanks for all your support!!!
I have the non-elite pro series 1600. It’s been a great pit. I upgraded from an older pro series 850 with a non PID controller. I’m super happy with my new 1600 and the PID controller is great!
Heck ya! Very nice pit for sure!!! Mine cooked a lot of protein for sure!! It is still running a lot because I gave it to a good friend of mine!!! Thanks for watching!!
Great comparison! Looks like a great pit.
Heck ya Jake!!! I am very pleased with how this pit runs!!!
Great compare video 👍🏻
Thanks Chris!!! I appreciate you watching!
Great video brother!
Thanks Luis!!!! I appreciate you watching brother!!
Our Elite 1600 finally showed up today.
Put it together after work, and followed your burn off.
Going to do a London Broil and some corn on the cob tomorrow.
Awesome!!!! Congrats on the new pit!!! I really like mine, a little temp difference from left to right but I think it seems to be calming down some!?!?! Anyways enjoy that Broil brother!!!!!!!!
Great videos!!! Would love to see a video on how to clean the elite
I will try to get that in a video one of these days for ya! Thanks for watching!
Craaaaap! If this was only a week earlier…I bought my regular 1600 last week. I really wish I would have known about that controller.
Dang Kole!!! Sorry brother! But the OG still is a nice pit!!! But there is always Facebook Market Place!!! This stuff always happens to me when i buy a new camera! WHen I finally save up enough to get a new one and buy it. Sony releases a new model that is BETTER and then I instantly hate the one I just bought!!!hahaha ugh!!!
One more thing about that grill bracket in the back. They should lower it a bit, because it's inaccessible when the lid is open. I would also mention a couple of nitpicks after my big Memorial Day cook. The big lower grill doesn't slide easily in & out, because there's no good support on the left side of it until it's in place. It seems they could have done something about that. The sliding broiler grate gets stuck just as soon as the grill heats up, and I'm considering possible options to try to lubricate it like WD-40 or silicone though not sure about their heat tolerance. I also don't like the grate at the top of the pellet hopper. It should be removable or hinged so you can get down in to fix things when the pellets are stuck. I couldn't completely remove all the pellets because the back opening leaves a spot for them to pile up which you can't reach with the fixed grate at the top of the hopper. The lack of a griddle doesn't bother me, because I have plenty of cast iron, though it feels cheap for them to leave it off the new & improved model. If I could have the Elite with the enameled body instead of stainless, I would have definitely gone with that, and despite my best efforts there's gunk in that stainless part of the front shelf after just one big cook.
Great review - as usual! - Thanks! - Cheers!
I'd say anyone that can scratch up a grand, can pony up another $300 for the Super Duper Mega Elite - Nice smoker.
Agree Gary!!!! Thanks for watching!!!
The Elite looks to be a worthy upgrade. Seems to be a great pit at a good price. A great advantage to going with a box store pit is you can get that thing today and start cooking now, I’m still in a holding pattern waiting for mine.
Ya bro I know that long dreaded wait!! I am going through the same thing on an offset. But once it arrives you forget how long it took to get there!!! Thanks for watching Richard!!!
Would love to see a video showing P setting recommendations for various types of meat on the 1600 elite!
I will try to add that in a video for ya!! Thanks for watching!!
Different smoke settings is definitely a great upgrade!
Heck ya Rusty!!! SO far I am very impressed with this pit and honestly it is Pit Boss's best todate for sure and maybe even the best box store pit for 2022?!??! Like always thanks for watching brother!!
Jeff you're the hardest working pitmaster on TH-cam! Really enjoyed the review. Now get that suckling pig in the Elite and let the smoke roll!...Later my man.
Thanks Papa!! I try my best brother and like always thanks for all your support and always leaving a comment!! Talk soon brother!!
Looks like a couple of nice pits. The Pit Boss looks like a better unit but then again the Pit Boss also looks good. My choice is the Pit Boss was the better of the 2 units 😜... Good Review Ricer!
Wow how did this one slip through the cracks?!?! They are both good. Ha ha thanks for watching Troy!
I have two Pit Boss's Vertical and the grill. Wish I had better controllers. Good Information
Thanks Gary!!! I hope they upgrade the Verticals soon!!!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Since the Ultra Mega Elite represents the top end of the big box smokers, I'd love to see a head to head with it vs the Lone Star Grillz Pellet smoker. Is a pit like the LSG worth the extra money when factoring in product produced, longevity, and care and maintenance? ('d say the the same for a Yoder 640s) Love your content, man. Keep up the great work!
The LSG is worth the extra money. I might match it up later this year. I just don’t think this one is a fair match up though.
That HBE is definitely looking legit...I'm gonna need a larger quarter jug to save up! 👀
Ya Jeff I have been very happy with it and I believe that it is Pit Boss's best pit to date!!!
I love my elite 1600
Great review Ricer, it took me awhile to get to it ( it's time to "cull" some channels out of my subscription list) . So it's getting hot outside so how bout some Santa Maria action buddy? Sir have a great day. 🌤 😁🍻👍🥩🔥
Just picked up the pro series 1600 series 3 (PB1600PS3) from Lowe's...the new igniter is amazing...I had flame in less than 30 seconds (with a handful added to pot)
Nice!!!! They are using a Silicon Nitride from Heat Founder. They ignite way faster than the old metal ignition rods. Thanks for watching!
Hi great video just wondering would you be able to leave the sear Handle off and cover the drip pan with foil if your not planning on searing anything. Thanks
Yes you can but honestly just let it dip on there and scrape it down after a couple cooks! That grease builds a nice season on it and with foil it will kind of rust up some! Thanks for watching!
Have you had a look at the new 1600 pro v3 (PB1600PS3)? I think its pretty well priced @ $999.00. Things like the light, griddle insert, and new touch screen swayed me to grab the only 1 I could find within 100 mi on Sat. Thanks for the vids, lotta info for us buyers.
I have not had the chance yet and hopefully I get one sent to me to review!! Sounds like they made some pretty good upgrades!!! Thanks for watching and enjoy that new pit!!!!!
I would like to see a video on how to get the P setting to work. Everytime I try it changes my temperature. Also would love a video on how to add recipes in to the controler and explanation of the dampner
I can maybe mess with the P Settings more but I typically run mine at 3 and never adjust it again. So the lower the P setting the more smoke you get and the lower temps has been my experience. But if you set that P setting to low you can have a blow out and the fire gets snuffed out. The P setting was something I used more on the older analog models. So the new PID controller having the P adjustments is new to me as well. The damper I just leave open because I do not see a huge difference.
Good video brother! Please do a brisket video with that new pit.
Hey Darron I actually did do one. Just look back a couple weeks on my videos. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ will do thank you!
Nice comparison between these two giants. 👏 Do you have any plans in the near future to review a Camp Chef Woodwind 36? I would really love to see the Camp Chef Woodwind 36 vs. 1600 pro series elite.
Thanks Ryan! I really hope to get a Camp Chef in one of these days! I am working on it but no luck as of yet!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ
Anytime...stay safe out there. I look forward to the next one.
You too!
If you would could you do a short video about temp variants across the chamber on this elite pit? Would be much appreciated
Here is a video that I show the Elite temps vs the new Timberline temps. Thanks for watching!! th-cam.com/video/glW2lWbR2KI/w-d-xo.html
Is the interior of the grill all stainless as well, I’m concerned about it rusting out like my current grill, that the reason I was considering the Recteq, but I like the features of the pit boss, thanks for the great reviews
Yes the chamber is lined with stainless steel.
Wish I could adjust my pee setting to 9:00am in the morning hahaha! Great review Jeff!
Hahahaha ya Rus, I could use that same setting and a counter weight could be helpful at times!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ 🤣
Thanks for the comparison. I was initially looking at purchasing the Pro 1600 V3 but then I discovered the advantages of the Elite - the only thing that Im not so sure about PB grills is the fact that so many people seem to have problems with controllers and a large number having to change controllers as various issues and temp variations are all over the map. SO now Im stuck deciding between a Tecreq 1250 that appears to be a lot more stable and better controller and PB Elite 1600 - the price difference is only about $100. What do you think about these two? Which would you pick?
I would buy the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro with a sidekick, sorry! hahaha I have owned a couple RecTecs and they are nice pits but don't have the ash clean outs or a sear zone. My next video I am working on right now is "My Top 5 Pellet Grills". Nothing to do with price, just what I have liked about them. FYI #6 is the PB Elite.
looking at getting a new pellet grill and was pretty set on a Lone star till I saw the shipping cost. lol Do you recommend any other pellet that has the performance of the lone star but maybe could be picked up in a store? Also maybe you already have this but would be super cool if you had a buyers guide website! thanks for all the good content
Yes the shipping cost is steep but the LSG hands down is the best pellet grill I have ever ran. This pit is a buy once cry once but example the new Traeger Timberline XL is about the same cost without the the shipping. But my boys will be fighting over this LSG pit and my Traeger XL will be already recycled into Busch Light cans already when I kick the bucket.
Pit Boss certainly added some great features to that Elite! But they seem to think 8 inches is enough 🤔 The front shelf Ricer! 😁
HAhahahaha for most people 8 inches measures up!!! hahaha I agree though Pit Boss add some very nice new features to an already good pit!! Oh ya if I didn't already know about your new purchase I would have told you Baby Huey needed a new home. But I found someone to adopt him and he is finally back to being the King of Cul-de-sac and getting the attention he needed!!! hahaha
@@DeadBrokeBBQ With these fuel prices, I could probably buy an Elite for the cost to ship Baby Huey across the country!
What's your opinion on the new Green Mountain Grill?
Boy I wish I could slip the price difference down the stack of my 1600 and it would transform itself into the Ultra!! I guess I'm due for another upgrade real soon. Hahaha. And if that's your boys in the background, my 2 aren't afraid to make that noise either. 🤣
It is a step up from the OG 1600 but not leaps and bounds!! You got one and if I was you I would wait for another year before you upgrade!!! My guess Pit Boss will have some more pits coming with this upgraded controller next year!!! I got to get more cooks under my belt on this pit but so far I am very impressed with the way it performs!!
Ya that was my oldest blowing his beak and droppin A at the same time!!! Ugh teenagers!!!!! hahahaha
Like always thanks for watching Mark!!!!
What was that smoke setting at the 7:59 or I mean sear setting? My son Damian has a sear technique as well that sounds very familiar! Cheers brother!
Hahahah ya that was the oldest blowing his snoz and droppin A at the same time!!!!! Talk about a drop the mic exit!!! hahahahah Like always Rob, thanks for watching and all your support!!!!
Just bought an elite based on your recommendation. Although I am extremely disapointed in my neighborhood Lowes, Huntington Beach, CA. As far as the grill goes, this thing rocks. 1 question - the app allows you to start the grill remotely. It seems this is dangerous unless the cover is open all the time. Should we make a rule to never start the grill remotely? The cover is usually closed between uses. Thank you for introducing me to this grill, I wish Pit Boss would use other retailers.
First thanks congrats on the new pit!! Second thanks for watching! Third so with the noew exhaust system cut through the back it is a lot safer to start up a pellet grill with the lid closed. But I always start mine with the lid open! I just like that white smoke to clear first and then I preheat it up! But the start up on the Elite doesn't take long so you probably could still be safe with that lid closed. But because I am old school I would still open the lid as soon as it started to smolder. Have fun and smoke on!!!
Ricer please do a video explaing the smoke mode on the 1600. How to use and when. A lot to f confusion in pit boss FB group on this. Thanks.
I think I showed how to use it in the first cook video on this pit when I cooked a brisket?? Can't remember but I will show it again in the future! Thanks for watching!
Question: The 1600 Elite vs the 1600 Elite PSE. $100 Difference. Is the difference the touch screen on the PSE?? Is that the only difference, and is it worth the additional $100? Thank you for making this comparison video. Helped me tremendously!
I am not sure but I should be getting a PS# soon. Thanks for watching!
I know this video is fairly old, but the higher the P setting the lower the temp and more smoke exposure the lower P setting you achieve a high temp and less smoke exposure when in smoke mode.
I just saw the 1600 competition series with the roll top. It’s nice!! What are your thoughts on the comp series v the elite?
If Pit Boss sends me one I certainly will do a comparison! One thing I know is that the controller in the Elite is better with more features! Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ thank you for responding. That’s all I need to know. Love your channel
Does the Pit Boss Side Smoker Attachment fit on the 1600 Elite? I have the 820 and it's cooked a ton of great meals but always preparing for it's successor :)
I am pretty sure it does attach to both of these pits! I would double check on Pit Boss's website but there is a cover bolted on where the stack was on the OG 1600!! Thanks for watching!
I'm just starting to look for my first pellet grill I like the elite opinions but I don't need that big of a smoker do you know if pit boss is going to bring the elite series to a smaller grill?
I think they have updated the Pro Series at Lowe's so they do have smaller pits with the newer controllers!
what about Pitt Boss Pelletsmoker? is it still a good choice?
Dead Broke Babe Hello and Thank you...
I Was getting ready to head to Lowes and get the 1600 Pro-Series- Then... I seen you had a recent video on 1600 Elite :-)
I got to say... "Yay!!! " Because I 'am now sold on the smoke vent instead of smoke stack- Yet someone mention here the slide bar gets stuck when wanting to open up and flame for adjusting for fire cooking. Have you encountered this problem? Love the looks of the Elite stainless steel and all, Yet high temp can ruin that gorgeous look over time- no matter how much you clean and shine- Unless that product you were spraying the steel with is magical (What was that spray cleaner?) Also loved that they got rid of the diamond plates, along with the side table that now can fold down. for storage. Love your video's and seriously you and only you sold me on Purchasing PittBoss only vs. nothing else!
Thanks for educating me because I could not find a sales person anywhere in stores that know anything about what they are selling!
They just don"t have the knowledge or take time to read about what they sale- on the floor or shelfs- Sad, but true.
I look forward to your answers for Questions above.
Thank you again... I enjoy and appreciate all your help. :-)
Sorry this one got past me. Glad I could help and the flame broiler can get stuck sometimes but wiggle it and give it a jerk and it will pop free.
I was using Zep. Then I also use 50/50 water and white vinegar to clean the pit. Thank for watching and the kind words!
Can you run either pit in the rain if the plugs are not exposed to the rain? Was at Lowe’s last weekend taking them apart and looking inside, both great pits for sure.
Yes you can run these in the rain. During a downpour it does help to cover up the hopper though! Thanks for watching!!
Pitboss Laredo 1000 vs the pro 850? Which would you suggest? I like the hopper clean out and ash clean out on Laredo the 850 I didn't see those features.
I would still go with the 850, the Larerado doesn't produce as much smoke but it still runs good! Thanks for watching!
I always hang my sear gate rod over the lip of the drum while cleaning. Learned real fast how annoying it is when that rod gets in the way
Ya only thing I don't like because it is always in the way!!! hahaha Thanks for watching!
The diamond grates SUCK TO CLEAN. They should just drop them. That is the only thing I can say about my Pit Boss that is negative. I would buy the “normal” stainless grates for my 850 if they offered them. Great video 🍻
Heck ya Mike!!!! I am not a fan of the diamond cut grates either!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!!
Can you show me how to adjust the p setting on the elite please? I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!
I will in an upcoming video!
Pro series 1600 to pro series 1600 elite to now the ultra mega elite.....it's legend proceeds it's release. But glad all around it seems to be with the price. Probably the best one in that price range? Seems to be great value
HAhahaha well I had to rename it and just by chance I heard the Ultra comment so I thought "that sounds like a grill name"!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!!
On the 1600 Elite what do you think of the hinge system on the lid. They seem to wobble when you open the lid, Just wonder how long they will last supporting that weight .
Mine is still good and I think it should be ok for a while! Thanks for watching!!
Mine as well get a Rectec
Thinking of buying the elite... but I want a cover and the recommended cover is the one for the regular 1600 which has a stack and the side shelf doesn't fold soooooo... what would you recommend?
I honestly do not have any idea other than a tarp. hahaha I do not have a cover for mine yet but I would think they would be making one for the Elite eventually.
I choose the Pit Boss over the Pit Boss! For real! 🔥🔥🔥
Hahahaha me too Moe!!! Thanks for watching brother!
Which griddle is the one on the PB website is the one that fits? Is the 1600 considered a “1000 Series”?
I honestly can't answer that. I think the best bet would be to call customer service on this one!!! I would think that most of them would fit but one never knows!! Thanks for watching!
Is it possible to order the bottom grill grates from the elite and would they fit on the original 1600?
You will have to check the website and see if they are now available through Pit Boss.
So does the P2 produce more smoke than P7 cause im having loads of trouble trying to get good smoke flavor out of this thing while it’s in smoke mode l.
Yes the lower the setting the more smoke it will produce!
Any chance you can buy the grates? Or at least the bottom one? If not from pit boss, any ideas? (I already have the pro series 1600 and would love to trade out those grates)
I think you can but it might be too early to buy replacement parts on this pit. Maybe call Pit Boss and see???
Have you had any experience with recteq smokers? I’m torn between this pit boss 1600 elite and recteq 1250. Just wondering what you think would be the best decision
Yes I have owned a couple Rectec's I still have the RT340 that we use if we go up north. But of those pits are good and I think it just boils down to this, do you want to see some flame when you are using it as a grill? On the Pit Boss you can do it. The RecTec might be a little more in cost also. IMO I would be happy with either. Thanks for watching!!
Hey could you do a pellet grill cleaning video. thanks
Ya I could do a video like that one of these days! Thanks for watching!
Hi Jeff, I'm wondering what's your thoughts on the Austin XL and if you have seen the modifications that have been done to them to have a pretty consistent controlled temp from left to right of the grill. I think personally for me 400 bucks at Walmart plus those mods u really can't for wrong with it. Would you also recommend a sear plate and would you recommend I upgrade to the diamond plated grates instead of the ones they come with? It's that shiny black coated grates and as far as the custom stainless steel I don't see any available for the Austin XL online
I like the Austin XL but I would skip the diamond cut grates. The regular wired racks are better. Have fun modding it up!!!! Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ one more question do you recommend the grill grates for searing baby back ribs?
@@rorysuire6177 they work on anything but sounds like you plan to grill ribs and not smoke them? Because if you plan just to smoke them don't wrap them and they will get nice and dark bark on them.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I usually sear them first then wrap them with pepper jelly and then let them sit 300 for bout 1 hour.
How has the controls improved? Are you still experiencing big swings and inconsistent temp holds?
The Elite addressed a lot of the issue the OG 1600 had. It does have a difference from left to right but honestly most pellet grills do. Thanks for watching!!!!
I got the original one for $750 at Lowe’s, still in the box.
Awesome!!! Enjoy the new pit!!
Get the Savannah onyx black it’s the best one out of all of them pitboss series
I am hoping to get one sent here so I can give it a review! Thanks for watching!
Answered a lot of questions I had about the elite. Not all, but a lot. The only one you missed really was, how do I get the mrs to let me buy the elite?
Begging helps! Ha ha thanks for watching brother!
Anyone have a link to buy the stainless steel grill grates? I’d love to replace my original 1600’s grates.
Might have them on P{it Boss's website pitbossgrills.77jaha.net/504Vj Thanks for watching!!
Would love to buy the elite, but not available at Lowe’s in Canada….only the baby Huey
Hopefully this spring!!!! Thanks for watching!!
Wish I could find the elite anywhere. Every Lowes I have tried hasn't had any in stock in months.
I am hearing and getting more comments that people are starting to see them again so I hope one rolls in for you soon!!!!!!
What are your thoughts between the Elite and New Pro Series 1600 PS3 version? Still recommend the elite?
I have not see it yet, sorry!
I'm in the market for a pellet grill. Wondering if there's a difference between the pitboss 1600 elite and the lone star pellet grill. Should I save my money for the lonestar, or is the difference so miniscule I should just get the one I can afford now and get to smoking some meats?
Hi Greg there is a difference in those 2 pits. The body on the LSG will last a lifetime. The Elite is a great value but not a lifetime pit. The LSG smokes a lot more than all of my pellet grills but the ELite does a dang good job! Thanks for watching!
How about a video on how you clean the elite
Sure Ryan I can do that!! It is pretty simple but I certainly will maybe show on a couple pits how I do it!!!
Any ideas if they’re planning on making elites in the other pro series models?
I don't think this year but my guess next year there will be several new models with this same style of controller!!!
More like amplify some garage fun next to the backyard.
HAhahah ya these days everything is shot in the garage now!! Not as many issues like it was in the past but on perfect days I open up the garage door and bam I feel like I am still outside!! ha ha When I do an addition though one part will be backyard bbq fun again!! Thanks for watching!!
Do the p settings control temp like they used to. For instance p1 would always be hotter than p7 albeit more smoke on p1.
Well that is a good question and I can't answer it! The controller is a combo of both but when you have the smoke mode on it certainly will swing the temps more because that is how you get more smoke. I will try to pay closer attention to it but it certainly didn't spike up like my old 1100 did. Thanks for watching and great question!!
I got the 1600 pro series..for Christmas it bin a month can I still return it for the elit
Not sure, sorry but you will have to check with them!
Any comments on the Pitt Boss competition model i like the elite but wanted know if anyone has any opinions on that model
I am hoping in the Fall to try out a competition but I am not sure the Comp has the new VST and that is a game changer for Pit Boss. Thanks for watching!
I only have 2 temp probe inputs on mine. Is that the latest model?
Not sure, I think both have 4 inputs. Maybe they changed it since I filmed this?!?!? Thanks for watching!!
Will the stainless grates fit in the og 1600?
The bottom one will but it might be tight on the top 2! Thanks for watching!
What are you spraying on the elite to clean the outside
Zep stainless steel cleaner. After a while though I just let it patina up IMO. So much work keeping a stainless steel pit clean.
What the heck is the difference between the 1600 elite pse and the 1600 elite with smart compatibility. I didn't even know there was two seperate elites. I'm about to buy one but now I'm confused on which one does what
The Elite has a better controller and is made of Stainless Steel. Buy the Elite.
where can I buy an elite? It seems Lowe's is out of them in the South Carolina region
Ya they are coming in slowly throughout the US! Hang on or do a WIDE search! People are getting them but some areas are still waiting! I am tired of all these supply issues in this country!! Thanks for watching!
I can’t figure out how to change the p setting on my elite. Even following the directions. Anyway you can do a quick video of that?
I recently purchased the Elite, and had the same question. Turn the power on the pit, make sure you turn on smoke mode before you do anything else. now when you push the P settings button a P4 should pop up where the set temp normally is, adjust to your desired setting, you have to be a little quick on that part it seems to flip over to temp if you do not adjust in the first 2-3 seconds. Once that is set you can set the aim temp and be on your way.
There ya go James nailed it!!! Key is to have the dial set at "S" before you do anything! I will still show how you do it in a future video though!
Great job James!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thank You Jeff. Wifey finally told me to stop talking about buying a pellet grill and do it, so I did....lol. I decided on the Elite, and so far, its been a good decision from what I can tell. And the Family is digging the smoked meats.
My Man....
Thanks for watching brother!!
Are we going to see a Verses between the Pit Boss 1600 Elite and the Z Grills Multitasker?
Maybe?!?!?! I could do a friendly battle someday! Thanks for watching!
So head to head would you go with the Traeger Ironwood 885 or Pit Boss Elite pro series 1600?
Just because the ELite has the flame broiler I would go with that pit personally. This Elite is by far the best pellet grill Pit Boss has made to date. Plus the controller on this one actually works pretty dang good!!! Thanks for watching Max!!
Thank you and outstanding content.
Which one?? Rec Tec!!! BEAST!
Hahahah ok thanks for watching!
Is there any special mode it has to be in to adjust the p settings if I hit the button it just changed for F to c temperature.
Got to have it set on S to adjust the P settings. I think on my first brisket cook video I show you?? Thanks for watching and have fun!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thanks for the reply you Rock man keep up the good work!
Can you put the 1600's smoke stack on the elite?
You could but the back venting seems to work pretty good but I had to remodel the Studio because all these pits coming in lately followed the trend of getting their stacks chopped off!?!?!?!?! hahaha Thanks for watching Pete!!!
Can the bottom grate in the elite be switched out with the cast iron diamond grate in the non-elite? I would like to purchase the non-elite and like you, prefer the rod grate instead of the cast iron diamond grate.
Yes it would fit if you can find one to buy. Honestly though I would save up a tad more and get the elite. In the long run I think you will be happier with that pit over the OG 1600. Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thanks for the response. Do you have any thoughts on the Pit Boss Navigator? Seems very similar to the Elite minus the lack of wifi in the navigator.
I would go with the newer technology of the Elite. The navigator needs an upgrade!
How is it compared to the LSG Pellet? Large price difference, but what’s the difference in smoke flavor now that Pit Boss has VST?
So far the Elite is the best box store pellet I have ran because of the smoke flavor! Even comes close to the LSG but nothing can match that pit in smoke! Thanks for watching!
Ultra Mega Elite…lol that’s the king!
HAhahaha why were you in my spam on this comment!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ dude, doesn’t even surprise me. TH-cam has been hiding my comments.
I'm torn between recteq 1250 or pb elite anyone have a preference ?
Flip a coin IMO. Both are very nice pits!
Can you please compare/review the Lockhart?
I will probably pass on that pit and wait for them to redesign it first!! Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ may I ask what specifically should be redesigned? I'm looking to get a pellet smoker soon. One with wifi capabilities and the ability to sear meat. Any advice? Ty!
The pit is too big and never really gets hot enough and I have heard it does not smoke very much either, very similar to the Laredo I have. The new Elite has a decent WiFi app and gets hot enough to sear. IMO it is Pit Boss's best pellet grill to date. Yes it is pricy and not perfect but the new Traeger Timberline is WORSE! I also like the Rider DLX 1200. That pit is a searing machine but I would take the Elite over the DLX. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Can you compare Traeger Timberline XL vs Pit Boss Pro 1600 elite?
Ya I could probably do that for ya! I still haven't even fired up the XL yet but hopefully soon! Been a busy month away from TH-cam! Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Looking forward to the video, thanks brother!
