The front wheels are casters, made so you can roll it in different directions without having to pick it up. They're also locking, which is a nice touch. Another huge deal maker for this grill is the ash pot clean out on the bottom, probably the best thing about it.
I have a question! If the Hopper runs out of Pellets...and you happens to not be around at that moment,......will the grill automatically shut down by itself?
Good question. If the Pit Boss 1600 competition series grill runs out of pellets while you are not around, the grill will not automatically shut down immediately. Instead, it will continue to operate until the remaining pellets in the auger are completely used up. Once the pellets are exhausted, the temperature will begin to drop, and the grill will eventually shut off due to the lack of fuel to maintain the fire. However, this can result in a couple of potential issues: Temperature Drop: The grill temperature will drop, which could affect the cooking process and the quality of the food. Fire Outage: If the fire goes out and the grill is left unattended for an extended period, there is a risk of ash buildup in the fire pot, which could be problematic when you restart the grill. To prevent these issues, it's a good idea to regularly check the pellet hopper and ensure it has enough pellets for the entire cooking session. Some pellet grills, including the Pit Boss 1600, may have features or accessories available to alert you when the hopper is low, such as hopper sensors or Wi-Fi connectivity with notifications, so consider using these if you are frequently away from the gri
@@PelletGrill Thanks> Oh BTw..if PIT BOSS aver asks you about comments made from the Public I'd like you to pass the following along to them . "The PIT BOSS1600COMPETITION SEROES has many fine features that make it so great, but of course many of these same features are available in the competing brands such as Traeger and Weber,..... HOWEVER the one feature (besides the great price) that sets this model apart from the rest tis the ROLL TOP LID! It opens SO SMOOTHLY without the need for a Heavy Lift i just see that as Genius!! If PIT BOSS can begin to offer that in subsequent earlier, but "Upgraded " Models...even the small ones, I'm sure that would be a great selling feature!

Yes. The PitBoss 1600 Competition Series is a beast. It is Meade with heavy duty steel. Assembled Dimensions: 63"L x 34.5"W x 49.7"H Weight: 208.3 lb. To learn more about the entire Pit Boss collection, click here: pitbossgrills.77jaha.net/qnM76j
These "Cons" seem pretty minor. As far as weight goes...those foolish enough to want a 24" "Komodo Joe" Charcoal grill, realize that it weighs Almost 500 pounds and you have to stoke it with charcoal. This Pellet BBQ doesn't even weigh half that!
@@PelletGrill I saw a Komodo Joe 24" for $3,000. Weighed about 487 pounds. Had a cooking area of about 452 sq in. That's about 29% of the area the PIT BOSS 1600 offers...for about $800 Gee..I wonder what the better deal here is!

Exactly!
Love the Competition Series 1600! The ability to adjust the temps by 5 degrees is awesome to really help dial in your BBQ.
Heck yeah! That is a great way to dial in your BBQ. What is your favorite thing to BBQ this time of year?
@@PelletGrill Everything. lol

@@balancedactguy It is a great selling feature.
I have the 1150 Pro but can only set temps at 10 degree until you reach 300 too bad PB couldn't upgrade the controller by Wifi.

How does this smoker hold up in really cold temps or windy days? I live in southern Alberta, Canada lol

I have the 1150 Pro and I'm in Calgary , it takes awhile to heat up but works well, in the cold.
This the same With the 1250 cs? Just the size difference ?
Yes, besides the size difference they are the exact same.
I think pit boss need to stop advertising wi-fi Bluetooth capability until they get the app working properly. IT DOES NOT WORK PEOPLE!
Didn't show the actual pit in real life
Great point: here is a look at the actual pit. th-cam.com/users/shortsFxDPJNjlg34?feature=share

They are pretty minor. A 500 lb grill seems overkill unless it is on a trailer.

@@balancedactguy This is true!
@@PelletGrill AND about a 73% Reduction in Cost!..... and about a 57% Reduction in Weight as well.
This the same With the 1250 cs? Just the size difference ?
Yes, besides the extra space, they are the exact same pellet grill.
@@PelletGrill One thing to note is the 1250 does not have access to the burn pot from under the grill. That is pretty handy on the 1600.
@@GrillSergeant Great point.
