- Pit Boss Burn Off On The New Pro Series Elite. First I am very impressed with is Pit Boss Pro Series 1600 Elite! From my experience I think this is Pit Boss's best pellet grill to date as far quality and features! Now obviously I need to start cooking on it but there has been zero issues so far and I do not see anything changing real soon!! I can't believe how quiet the Pro Series 1600 Elite runs!! I hope to see them do more models like this in the future! Next up a brisket cook to see how it runs when it matters most!! Thanks for watching!!

Should make a video on how to properly clean it after a cook
I can do that Carlos! I will help you amplify your backyard bbq fun. 😉
I second this request!
Well I bit the bullet bought the 1600 elite. I think I've watched all your videos. Have you done the video on the VLS or the controller of the 1600 elite I can't seem to find it if you did. Thanks for helping me make my decision.
Stackless Leah? I knew a Leah who was very unstackless. Another great burn off Jeff. =)
Thanks Brian!! I have known a few stackless myself!!! hahahaha Like always brother thanks for watching and I hope you are doing good up there!!!
Genius a cord wrap!
I got a couple of them without one. Such a pain wrapping it around the hopper! Thanks for watching!
Pit boss definitely upped their game
Ya Rusty I am very happy to see what they did on this model and I hope to see them update some of the other models too!! Thanks for watching bro!!
Looking forward to seeing the brisket. When seeing gonna see the Lonestargrillz Santa Maria again 😁🔥👍🍻
I plan once it warms up some again!! I want to do a tri tip video just for fun and maybe do a year in review on this pit!!! Like always Victor I appreciate you watching brother!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Well I'm looking forward to seeing it. And I understand wanting it to be a little warmer also. This is something off subject but wanted to let you know I have made arrangements this week to rent a foodtrailer for the next 7 months. I'll be doing bbq at our local farmers market every Saturday. Now I'll be able to do some events and pop up's. It's a fully certified commercial kitchen. So starting in May I'll start doing videos occasionally at the market. Should be fun. Fyi, I'm scared as hell to. Wish me luck 😁👍🔥🍻
Nice review video. Been looking at one of these. Can’t wait to see the future videos on it. Bring on the cooking videos. 😎
This now sits at the bottom of my apartment stair way 🤘🏻 Thanks for the videos man keep it up
Awesome and congratulations on the new pit!! I appreciate you watching!!
That’s a pretty cool pit can’t wait to watch you cook on it
Heck ya brother! You need to take a day off and come over!!! Thanks for watching bro!!
Picked up and assembled mine yesterday. Doing the burn off right now.
Nice pit and informative video!
Heck ya Mark!! Very nice pit for sure and thanks for watching bro!! I hope all is good at the home front!!!
Ricer, finally got my Elite after three tries to order here in Michigan. Burning it in now!! Woop Woop!! Thanks for the videos on this pit. So helpful with the assembly and burnoff!! He's a beast for sure and looking forward to some great cooks!!
Good looking cooker and a thorough video brother. I can dig it! 👊
Thanks Dawg!! Pit Boss did a pretty good job on this pit and now I can’t wait to cook on it! Thanks for watching brother!
MAN O MAN YOUR A BLESSED WITH THIS PIT
Yes I am. Thanks for watching!
I'm ready to upgrade, great video.
Heck ya and thanks for watching!! Make sure you let me know what you think!! Thanks for watching!!
For a year I’ve been wanting to smoke. This week I’ve been watching a lot of reviews. For storage space reasons I’m going vertical (still want to keep my grill) so we still have seating on the patio. But the main reason for my comment is all week this is the first burn off video I’ve seen and I’m glad I’ve come across this. Clicking that subscribe.
Thank you and glad you liked the video!!! A vertical is a great option if all you really want to do is smoke up some protein and use your other grill for grilling! I appreciate the nice comment and happy to have you as a subscriber!!
Pretty sharp Jeff!
Thanks for watching Jim!
Great features on this grill, plus it looks beautiful👍 I was surprised you didn't already have the donger modification in place😆
I am working on that Bobbi!!! You know me I am sure it will be a great fit!!!! hahahaha Thanks for watching and this pit certainly is a job well done!! Pit Boss came to play again this year!! HAve a great week and thank you for all your support!!
Pit Boss did a good job on this pit! Great video Jeff!
Heck ya Rus!! They certainly stepped up to the plate and ready to swing away for sure!! I can't believe how quiet this pit is!!! Man I kept checking to make sure it was running!!! hahaha Like always, thanks for watching brother!!
Looking forward to the new videos
Heck ya JJ!!! I am excited to get cooking on this pit! Hope to cook a brisket on Wednesday!! Thanks for watching brother and hope you are doing good!
Hi Ricer, I love your bbq videos, I've learned a whole bunch!!! You said in one of your prior videos that you were going to do a cook on the Lone Star Grillz Pellet smoker using tge main chamber charcoal grate. When can we expect that video? I'm really looking forward to that. Thanks again for all you do to help us do good bbq.
Yep James I plan to record a video with the insert. I have tested it out and this is designed as an open pit grill. So burgers, brats, hot and fast steak, or anything you just grill. Works dang good and it can get very hot!!! ha ha Once it warms up more I plan to do a little more practice runs and then I will post a video. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!!
Awesome video, I watched your video on the old 1600. Since I'm in the market to buy a smoker. I been watching a lot of videos on pallet smokers. I did see the 1600 stainless steel on Lowe's website. But I end up buying a Recteq 1250. I'm new to smoking so keep up the videos.
First thanks for watching and second the 1250 is a good pit too! Have fun with your new hobby and thanks for leaving a comment!
I just bought the 1150, had no alternative because the 1600 Elite is not available in Canada, if it was I would have purchased it. 😤😩, cmon PB , I’ll trade ya. 😀
Yup.same here. I want this grill but, in Canada every new pit boss grill or vertical comes a year later. What gives? I keep nagging them about this dumb marketing thing their doing.
Ugh that stinks!!! Well hopefully they keep growing in the Canadian market!!
Hopefully they can get more models up there!!!
I drove down to Bellingham and just brought it back with me. Canada sucks.
Nice informative video Ricer! I too am anxious on that heat up time. I agree, love those SS grates, because those diamond porcelain coated ones are a pain in the butt with all the clanging trying to clean them. With the new one not having a stack, you could call it "Vag". Imagine hooking that up to "Donger". 🤣🤣Keep up the awesome videos man!!
Great minds think a like Mark! I am trying to make a “Vag Hat”. Ha ha so this pit crushed that brisket cook. Posting on Monday and I think you will enjoy hearing how quick it took to heat up! 12 minutes it took to get to 275 and it was only 42 degrees out.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Hahaha. That'll make an awesome hat for sure!! That's great news on the new 1600. Can't wait to see the video. I've been researching many different pellet smokers lately to possibly replace my 1st gen 1600 after being disappointed with the bad experience I've had with mine. I just may give Pitboss another shot if the new 1600 reviews good. Thanks for the update sir and looking forward to the next video!!
PS- You could always intro it "So grab your meaty brisket Mark and let's break in the Vag" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent review! This looks more premium and may be able to compete with some top of the line models. I'm considering the rec tec 1250 but this may be more in the budget. Can't wait to see how this thing BBQs first
Pit Boss step up to the plate again this year! It is their best pit to date. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this review. I am in between this one and the competition Series 1600 that Academy sports and Menards has. This video helped a lot.
I need to get the competition in hee and review it!! But I am not sure that model has the controller and if they run as quiet as this pit does!!! Very noticable how quiet it is because I kept checking to make sure it was running!! hahahaha Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Yeah man that would be awesome I can’t find any reviews on the either of the competition series pits. That would be a huge help to a lot of people. The competition series is also up to $500 cheaper then the elite. Thanks again for the videos.
Wish these were available at the Lowes around me here in TX so I could go look at one. I like the stainless racks and the amount of space in between them. Looking forward to your future videos on this cooker.
Dang Thomas I think you might be able to order one online but I would just get on your Lowes and say get one in here dang it!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I am signed up on the email alert list for when they get some in stock at both stores here around me. Both stores say they have no set ETA on when the grill could come in. Meanwhile I will watch your informative videos on the cooker and learn from your experiences while I wait somewhat patiently.
Thomas, I would check now as they are rolling in slowly. After three weeks of waiting I’ve finally got mine.
@@brianyarbrough238 Apreciate the info. Just checked both Lowes near me and they both have a few in stock. Gonna go take a look at one this afternoon.
Nicely explained Jeffery ! You and your damn timer and donger……lol ! This pit looks awesome! Hope all is well with you and the family! Take care Brother !
Thanks Kent!! Ya you know me---old habits die hard!! hahaha Ya we are just chugging along brother!!! I appreciate you watching bro!!
Just bought one today and waiting for delivery at the end of the month! Okay Ricer, we need a rotisserie mod ASAP!
Ha ha ha ha I hope that someday Pit Boss adds a rotisserie!!! Thanks for watching and have fun with the new pit when it arrives!!!
Loved my pitboss but bought a Yoder. Wish they had a flat drip tray like everyone else. Just easier to clean. Would still have the pitboss if they did.
Ya it is a little tougher to clean up but nothing wrong with a Yoder either!! Thanks for watching!!!
GREAT VIDEO LOOKS ALOT BETTER THAN MY 1100 PRO PITBOSS MAKES A GREAT PRODUCT
Heck ya brother! I am very happy to see Pit Boss pushing themselves to keep improving their product!!! Thanks for watching!!
I just picked up the pit boss 6 series elite from Lowes. It’s my first vertical smoker, and it is very quiet compared to my pro 1100. Only complain is even with the water pan temp. fluctuates like crazy. Set it to 225 and I checked and it was up to 265! I really enjoy the videos! Thanks for sharing!
Well all pellet grills fluctuate. My Lone Star Grillz swings 50 degrees all the time but so does my offset. It really doesn't matter unless you get 100° spikes. Cook until tender and enjoy. Heck put probes in your oven and I think you will be shocked! Thanks for watching and just cook.
Great review! I’m between this grill and a Grilla Silverbac. I don’t know what to do!
Thanks for watching! Always hard to just pick one!
I checked out one of these at my local lowes today. It was damn impressive the racks are massive definitely oven style. $ 1300 but it seems worth it
Very nice box store pit! Plus pretty good value!!! Thanks for watching!
Looks like that Elite can handle some serious protein! Interested to see how the heat zones go during your first cook...
Heck ya Jeff!! This pit is huge brother!!! I am excited to see and test out a few things myself!! I like going into these burn offs blind so I can just watch and see what all happens but it certainly got up to temp quicker than the OG 1600!! Like always brother I appreciate you watching!!!
I love my Pit Boss 820 but damn I kinda want that pit.
It is a very nice pit and runs pretty dang good!
Thanks for the video, this looks awesome. What is your opinion on the heat deflector under the drip pan? I took mine out of 1000sc. Most people say get rid of it.
I have just always left mine in, One of these days I will take it out to see if there really is any difference but I do like it because it is easier to vacuum off that instead of scraping it off from the bottom if some grease gets down there. Thanks for watching!!
No griddle. Like the pellet shield. Would be great if the heat deflector and the slide were made out of stainless steal. Love my regular 1600 with controller being upgraded. 4:42 sorry to hear about your donger.. Glad to hear it got some improvements. Nice job on the video.
Yep the OG 1600 is a very nice pit but I am glad to see the upgrades to this one too. They are moving forward on improvements every new model! I never really used the griddle much but it is a nice addition. Thanks for watching!
Hey Ricer just bought the elite have you done the video on the controller and VST and all the features yet ?? Would love to see it !! Gonna do my burn off in the morning.. thanks for this video
Hi Randy I showed in my comparison of the 1600's how the the VST works. Super simple brother and use that smoke mode and you will be very happy with the smoky flavor profile!! I have been running mine at P3. Thanks for watching!
Great video. Question on the seasoning, do you spray Pam on everything before the initial burn off or after? I’d think you’d want to get the manufacturing oils off first before applying the Pam but I just don’t know for sure.
Nah just spray it up either way they both burn off. The reason why I spray mine down right away is that is covers the pit better. You can certainly burn it off and then season it up later but there isn't really a difference! Thanks for watching!!
i like it. i think i faunded what i luking for. think you
Hey Mr. Ricer for those who have the original 1600 I wonder if we can just buy new stainless steel grates and the updated controller?
Hi Kris I talked to Pit Boss. This controller will not work on the regular 1600 but they might come out with a version that could do some of the same things for yours in the future.
At the moment the stainless steel grates are not available to purchase as parts but they said they will be a few months down the road.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ man that’s awesome!!! Thanks for the information and again thank you for all of your content!!!
Pretty sure I can feel my wallet getting lighter as I watched this video... that smoker is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to get one of my own
Ya dude so far I am very impressed with this pit! Crazy quiet and certainly smoked enough too! During the brisket cook I will do a couple things to see what it does. I like to go into these videos blind so I really don't have any idea what things do or how they react!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ absolutely can't wait. The last time I did a brisket it was a 4lb flat on my pro series 1150 and came out a bit overcooked so I'm curious to see what you do with yours and will try to emulate it.
Very nice..I knew you was going to do a brisket first cook..( very brave) I like the 5° incriminates..have one favor..have a probe inside to show what actual heat inside as to what the grill actually says..Enjoy
I did it just for you brother! So it has a 50 degree difference from left to right but on the the fire pot it ran at 275 what I had it set at. Now I hope is closes that gap a little but I like having a hotter side in a pit anyways. But man did it crush that brisket. Video will post Monday.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ awesome..thanks..I have a brisket in freezer just don't have time to cook it everyone is busy busy..thanks again
Have you ever come across a code LL3 on plug in? My pit boss 1150 all of a sudden is doing this. Sometimes it will power up.. sometimes not
I've really enjoyed your videos. I'm curious, are you in a cold weather area? I'd like to see how this thing, or the other version of this smoker does in a cold weather climate. I'm in Michigan
This pit can handle the cold weather but remember it is still just a pellet grill so you will see it take a little longer to get up to temp when it is -20° out!!! hahaha Thanks for watching!
I would like to know how accurate the meat probes are from pit boss that come with the pit boss, pro series 1600 elite if they are not very accurate please give me some info on the most accurate ones. Thanks in advance really enjoy your content. keep on doing what you’re doing.
I am very happy with the probes on the Elite! They are very close to my signals but they all read a little different when probing meat because they have to be in the exact same spot. But again I never had any fails with this pit!
Great review Ricer! I am looking to upgrade. Curious about the heat up time and did they improve the app or is it the same SmokeiT? I di like the upgrades but why can't they make that front shelf deeper?.....
Thanks Kevin!! I will certainly time how long it takes to get up to temp on the brisket cook. I know that just from so much time spent on Baby Huey it certainly was faster. I will use the app down the road also. Ya if the front shelf was 3 inches deeper it would help a ton!! I got a comparison in the mix in a couple weeks also but I obviously want to spend a little time on this pit to make sure that it is better than the OG 1600. Like always brother I appreciate you watching!!
Could you do a video with your grill grates and how long it would take to get to max temp with sear plate open? For grilling some steaks or burgers?
Many after the big pit rush finishes up but right now I got 3 new pits waiting to get under the spotlight. Thanks for watching!
Great video, very informative. In your opinion which is the better grill between this one and the camp chef woodwind 36?
Sorry I can't answer I have not owned the Camp Chef yet.
Mine back rack holder easily hold two racks. I'm wondering if you have an earlier model.
Ya I have had others tell me the same thing----I have tried different ways and mine just won't do it?!?!?!?! Thanks for rubbing it in that yours works!!!! hahahahahahaha just kidding!!!! Thanks for watching!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ What doesn't work, is fitting those racks in my dishwasher. They are so large and awkward to clean. I really wish there was a solution to that.
Love your videos! I am trying to decide between the Elite 1600 and the Traeger Ironwood 885. Do you have any thoughts on which way would be the best to go? Are they pretty equal in terms of how much smoke they produce? The Pit Boss grills have awesome warranties! Thanks
Pretty even on this one so I would flip a coin!!! Thanks for watching!!
GREAT VIDEOS! I just bought the Elite and just finished my burn in! My unit did not come with the defuser. I called pit boss and they said these do not come with the defuser. Did you buy the defuser separately? Thanks for your help!
Yes mine came with the defsure but mine was one of the first Elites made. They got rid of the defuser last year, just doesn't need it now with the new controllers is my guess!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Have you tried the upgraded model of this one The Pro Series 1600 Elite PSE
Not yet but hopefully soon!!! Thanks for watching!!
Picked mine up at Lowes last night and got it put together.
About to start my burn in right now
Thanks for these great videos. It’s ultimately what lead me to this pit.
I’ll let you know how the ribs turn out tonight.
Awesome!!! You will want to rotate them. The right side runs a little hotter than the left like most Pit Boss pellet grills but that VST is awesome and produces a lot of smoke when it is on! Have fun with the new pit!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ They sure do. I just upgraded from a 4 year old 820. I just didn't have the real estate with that one.
I am thinking about popping the ribs up on the second rack, and kicking in VST. Rubbin it down with honeysuckle and using cherry pellets.
As always, another great video. Pitboss really seems to be trying to move out of the budget freindly category and into the upper level quality.
Thanks Curtis! Ya Pit Boss is stepping up their game for sure! Glad to see them improving the controller!! Hope all is good over in Westby!
Jeff what would you recommend for fingerprints on the stainless steel?
Hi Jeff, I use Zep. Stainless is awesome but requires a little more care! Thanks for watching!!
When's the first cook video going to drop? I'm looking at the pit boss and the char griller gravity smoker. Suggestions?
The brisket video will post tomorrow. I never ran a char griller yet but I did have the Master Built. I am not a fan of the fire boxes on these cheap gravity fed pits. A good solid gravity fed pit that will last is the only thing I would invest any money into. Thanks for watching!
I'm on the fence about buying the Pit Boss 1600 Elite, or the Traeger Ironwood XL. Any thoughts?
Well I got them both and like them both but there is a big price difference. They cook the same but the controller is nice on the Ironwood. With that said you can grill a little easier with the Elite. IMO it boils down to the money you want to spend. One thing my guess is that the Ironwood will have a couple addon accessories coming down the road. Thanks for watching!
What’s your cleaning process like for the pro series cast iron grates
Heat up the pit burn off what I can and scrub like crazy! Then a couple times a year hit them with the pressure washer. Thanks for watching!
Is there a part 2 to this video , wanting to know how the Digiq did ?
I did a brisket cook and posted that last Monday. Thanks for watching!
I got my elite. Went through the instructions. Primed the auger and started it for the burn off. I got some minor smoke but no heavy white smoke. Torchy sound started and have a good flame in the firepot. Are you supposed to get heavy smoke everytime with the elite? My old 700 classics produced heavy smoke every start.
Yep the Elite does not have as much of the white smoke like other models in the past. Everything you explained is the same as mine. Thanks for watcging!
any way to check if these racks work in the last 1600? I wouldn't mind swapping to the new version grates if so
I will check it out soon. I do know that the new grates are not available yet. Thanks for asking and I will be filming a comparison on the 2 soon.
In this video you said you were going to do a standalone video on the vst and the controller where can I find this video??
I think I added that in my 1600 comparison video. It is so easy but the manual gets confusing!
Newbie question here…Do you spray Pam on all the inside surfaces for each use, or just for that first burn off?
Just for the burn off. After that the pit will continue to season as you use it.
I've never used a pellet smoker grill before and my wife don't like smoked meat , would this cook chicken , steaks, etc like a regular grill ?
Yes it will but obviously it will have a smoky flavor. But not over smoked. I like to say pellet grills have a clean smoke flavor.
Whats a better pellet smoker? Pit boss elite 1600 or a Camp chef woodwind 36?
Im currently a Traeger pro 22 owner and im not impressed. Several things broke in less than 10 cooks. Im not paying $3700 for the new Traeger just to get stainless. While these companies along with Rec Tec offer it much cheaper. All are madebin China. If i was gonna spend over $3k on a cooker id be buying A Lonestar, Kando or Yoder. All American made and very heavy duty. Right now those arent an option for now.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I do like the Camp Chef Apex too...
Sorry for the late reply! I do not have a Camp Chef yet but they also make nice pits!!!
Looks like a nice pit. Hoping it is so good you give me that LSG pellet grill. One can dream can't they? LOL
Hahhahaaha oh I so wish I could give you my LSH Troy!! But Chris would come up here and hang me up by my frank and beans!!!! hahaha This is a very nice pit and I am excited to see how it does on its first cook!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I thought you'd like that one 🤣
Looking to buy my dad a pellet grill for his birthday coming up (I also plan on using it a ton). Neither of us have any experience with them. I'm between the pro series elite 1600, Traeger timberline 1300, or the traeger ironwood XL. In your opinion, which of the those would you say is the easiest to cook on as well as best value for the price? Keep in mind that we have a regular gas grill now that we will not be getting ride of.
Well for the creature comforts, the Traeger Ironwood is a tad better than the other 2 because of the controller IMO. As far as operation, all 3 run pretty much the same. Have fun and enjoy the new hobby!! Thanks for watching!
Just got one of these and the ambient probe is showing 100 degrees over what it actually is. Only the tenth cook and it’s clean. Any ideas?
Call customer service. Sounds like a bad probe?!?!?! %0 off left to right is normal but a 100 different in the control is odd. Thanks for watching!
Except that Lia does, and according to the other "smokers" it works.
Hahaha perfect reply!!
Ricer, this made my head turn. Tough choice, do I get this or the new Ironwood XL?🤔 what do you think?
I have the new Ironwood XL just haven’t fired it up yet. Obviously there is no comparison on price between the 2. Pit Boss also came out with the Pro Series 3 now and I hope to get that pit in to check out soon too. I like my Timberline XL and I like the Elite. One is cheaper but both cook about the same. The Traeger’s controller though is a lot nicer than the Elites. Tough decision bro but boils down to money spent.
What are your
Thoughts on Pit Boss Elite vs the Z Grills 11002B? You recently reviewed both, similar price points, does one edge out the other?
Both are good Chad! If you plan to grill then the Elite has the edge but Sam's Club had the Z Grills on sale for a killer price! So if you can find that deal go for it! Thanks for watching!
Does this cook evenly? Any hotspot? I'm definitely thinking picking this pellet up at my local Lowes next month.
Ya the right side is a little hotter like most Pit Boss pellet grills. But I honestly like to have a little warmer side! I have done several cooks on this pit now and it certainly is a step up from the OG 1600 and SMOKES a lot more with the new smoke mode!! You just got to rotate you protein around during the cook and that helps to get it evened out on the temps! Thanks for watching!!
Is there a probe port on the Elite series?
There are 4 ports! Thanks for watching Pat!
Im between getting this or a Traeger timberline 1300. Thoughts?
That might be a coin flip brother! Both are great pits!! I am very happy with this one with their new smoke mode setting and I do have the new Timberline that I am going to start cooking on some soon too but that pit is a lot more expensive!!!!! Thanks for watching!!!!
So you're saying it tucks it's stack to go swimming🤣😂😳😝🦖
Hahahahaha exactly brother and it is by far the fast Pit Boss to get up to temp so I think it could winner a medal and maybe break a record!!!!!! hahahaha Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ 😉👍🏼🇺🇸🍻
Can’t believe you weren’t one of the many CZcamsrs to get the new Traeger. Damn that thing is expensive and feels like a lot of plastic after checking one out at Ace. I’ll take my Weber Smokfire any day over that thing.
Hahaha they only gave it to the real Elites! I am way too white trash for a Traeger!!! But I might buy one and do a review my style. Maybe even match it up against the LSG, this could get ugly!!! hahahaha Thanks for watching!!!!
Can you tell us what kind of spray are you using???
Pam spray works great. Any cooking oil spray will work! Thanks for watching!
I hate the back vent. I also love the diamond pattern great for veggies with out needing a tray
Ya but most pits are moving in that open vent direction. Nothing could make me a fan of the diamond cut grates. hahaha Thanks for watching!
Love my Pro, but wish I had the wire bottom grate instead of the diamond shaped porcelain grate. That is a bear to clean
Ya dude I hope they move back to all wire grates moving forward! They admitted to me they loved that I call them the “Ricer upgraded grates” ha ha thanks for watching Mike!!!
What’s the best pit boss under 600-700$ range ?
the 850 but you might find the 1150 on sale??? Thanks for watching!
What did you spray on it?
Cooking spray! if you are talking about the stainless, I use Zep or 50/50 vinegar and water to help clean it up!
Is there enough distance between racks for a full brisket on each rack? How about pork butts on each rack?
Not really. Brisket flats yes but not a whole packer. There is a lot of room in this pit but I wish there was another inch in between the grates.
the bottom rack has no pins.. so when loaded ,when u push it in it sinks before resting in place..have to slide middle tray out,stick ur hand in the and pick it up to get in place..that stinks..lol
I don't mess with the bottom rack but you are correct! Thanks for watching!!
Mine was dropped of pre assembled with a stray bolt rolling around, no instruction book, only 1 probe and I can't figure how to remove the ash box. It also isn't working with the smoke it app. I'm a little confused here.
Unclip the ash pot and pull to the right hard. It will come out. Ya I never let anyone assemble my pits other than my boys with me near buy to supervise! Thanks for watching and get a hold of Lowe's.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ , thank you so much for responding and I'm calling Lowe's tomorow, I'm a big fan of your content. Please do a vid on the controller function like you said even if it's shorter. Have a great day Ricer.
I plan to do it but I got to get some videos shot on these other pits I have be sent too! Thanks for watching!!
So what’s with the Pam spray? I haven’t seen that before. So burn off then do it again with Pam spray. Why Avocado spray?? Can you use something else??
Use any oil. All you are doing is seasoning the bare metal so it builds a little nonstick surface.
So this? Vs the top of the line traeger ironwood ?
I think this pit has more features for the money but the ironwood is a nice pit too. I got the new Timberline coming in May. We will see if that pit is worth it or has Traeger just become the pit of the elites like Mit Romney and Hunter Biden types??
@@DeadBrokeBBQ appreciate the response! Both pits seem top quality! But that extra 500 in my pocket wouldn’t hurt either. Probably gonna choose the pit boss over the ironwood
5° increments? I'm going to have to upgrade. Hurry up with the cooking videos Ricer!
Ha ha it crushed that brisket cook and excited to share the video Monday! Thanks for watching!!
Tried to purchase one from Lowes and they are telling me there are none available anywhere and they have no idea when this will be in stock.
Ya my area I guess has them at Lowes. Not sure how long before they get all of the stores stocked but I know they got more coming. Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Lowe's contacted me via email to let me know there was a few available to purchase. I ordered one and it's a week lead for delivery to our local store. I have always cook with offset smoker with wood and love the food I make. This is my first pellet smoker and I will doing a blind taste test to see if there a big difference between the smokers. I will say I don't understand why no pellet smoker has a water pan. Thanks Phillip
@@peparcell Well there will be a difference in the flavor. Compressed sawdust doesn't have the gasses in it that a split of wood does. Pellet grills are for convenience but I did a couple racks of St Louis Friday on this pit with the smoke mode on and adjusted the P level down to 2 and I was happy with the smoke profile those ribs had. My oldest boy did his first prime on this pit yesterday and he nailed it! Perfect flavor for a smoked prime rib but we didn't use the smoke mode. So I am very happy how this pit is performing, truly is Pit Boss's best pellet grill to date!
So mine did NOT come with a heat diffuser and is not listed in the parts list either. Am I missing something here? No pun intended lol
You are all good! They got rid of that heat diffuser late last year because it really didn't do anything!!! Thanks for watching!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thank you for the heads up brotha! Thank you for the content, happy grilling! 😎
I thought you have to run it a few hrs to burn off all of the factory oils, and then spray it with Pam and burn that in?
After doing so many burn offs, I noticed that both are burning in. So I just spray it right away and get it done. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I just got the 1600 elite for Christmas and doing the burn off tomorrow. @DeadBrokeBBQ
I dont understand why you would spray cooking oil all over the inside that will catch smoke and stain everything. This is high heat oil you could use for seasoning a pan if you do not have proper seasoning oil. Can you tell me why and what the reason is for spraying oil before you turn the heat on for first time burn off procedure that is designed by the manufacturer to burn off all manufacturing oils and test the function ?
Done it both fricking ways a 100 times and yes I have had over a 100 grills. It don’t mount to a hill of beans either way. You burn off the machining oil and it leaves a stain. All you want to do is burn the shit off. Do it how ever your little heart desires, but you are just wasting time. I coat it up right away because these pits aren’t dipped in an oil bath before they are sent. Ha ha just a little here or there. Again you can run yours for a couple hours and then add the cooking oil to add some seasoning. Or don’t add any cooking oil. But I add it because 100% it makes clean up a lot easier. I have done 1,000’s of cooks, so experience goes a long ways.
Thanks for watching.
So its for an easier cleanup. Thats what I wanted to know, you didnt mention that in the video, or I missed it, That does not apply to me as I only clean the firebox, the bottom of the grill and the grates, along with wiping down the outside. I never clean the upper or side walls, except to clean the temp sensor every cook. But thanks for the reply. I will be buying a new pellet grill and am looking at all the reviews, which mostly seem to point back to the Traeger pro 575 or the new Recteq.@@DeadBrokeBBQ
Has anyone actually been able to find one of these grills? I swear I have looked in my entire state and cannot find one.
Wisconsin has them but hopefully you start seeing them in your state real soon. Thanks for watching.
Lol where did the Lone Star go?!
It is still here, just got a lot of other pits I need to film at the moment!! Thanks for asking though!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ how does it compare to the rest? Main question…. How is it in the taste department compared to the others??? Smoke 💨 on!!!
@@bw935 The Lone Star is the closest pellet grill that I have owned to come close to my old offset in smoky flavor. This Pit Boss is the closest to my LSG pellet. Very impressed with the smoke mode on this pit!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ don’t know how my GMG compares to the fleet you have?! 😂 Welp as far as the smoke flavor it puts on the food in comparison to LSG or the pit boss elite.
That heat defuser is the most useless thing they put in there. As soon as I took mine out I’ve had perfect temps all around.
Wow no stack?
A lot of pellet grill manufacturers are heading in this direction. Thanks for watching!
I second that, it sucks that there is no stack. WTF pit boss. I wonder if you can retrofit one 🤔
Dimond coated???????????? Come on!
ha ha I said it right the other time!! hahaha Thanks for watching Dan!!!
This is a GREAT Video...
but the background (noise) music was a little too loud, making it hard to hear and understand you at time...
We don't need background music ... We just want to HEAR You talk.
For every comment I get like this I have 200 that disagree with you. Thanks for watching.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ
Exactly... whatever works for you... I was just trying to help.
All good Judi! I just get it from both sides no matter what i do!!! ha ha but when it is cold my studio pellet stove is kind of loud so it helps break up the fan noise! Hoping to upgrade to a quitter stove this fall!! Thanks for the input!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Thank you for making these great videos
You could get the treager for 3700 dollars lol
It will be here the 2nd week of May. 😂🤣🤪
I wonder if us 1600 Pro owners can get the controller and bottom grate from the 1600 Elite? If not I will have to think hard about selling my 1600 Pro.
Not the controller but you might be able to get the grates in a few months on their website.
The controller is designed around the brushless motors. You would have to buy the whole hopper assembly too. But not sure that would fit exactly right either. Thanks for watching!
