broke in the new Pit Boss Savannah

The 1st cook on the new grill. 12lb brisket from Winco.

225° for the first 8 hours, bumped it to 275° until internal was 190-193ish then in a turkey roaster overnight at 155.

I started the cook at 9am and cut into it 25 hours later.

My 1st brisket made some good chili, this one is just damn good.

Austin XL

I've had this for a year. The temps are all over the place. I have put on an after market diffuser and a two way flame tamer. The probe temps are left side on the rack and right side. What products have worked for you?

Snagged a used pro series 1600 off of marketplace. Question:

It seemed like it took a long time to fire up. It definitely seems like it is taking longer to heat up but im sure its because its bigger than my old unit on the left and much thicker metal to heat up. Strong flame in the burn bowl, but perhaps the igniter is getting weak? Maybe ill replace it just for giggles and shits. It was an absolute steal for $240 though. It has seen 1000s of less cooks than my old one. This thing is a heavy beast.

Anyone come from an offset smoker?

My trusty 15 yr old old char griller offset smoker has rusted through 5 years after PCSing to NC. I guess it's my fault since it wasn't covered but I've spent most of my life in the southwest where it's dry and things can be left outside and not rust lol.

I'm getting older and was starting to get tired of babysitting the fire and adding wood every few hours anyways lol.

I used to make fun of my friends with pellet grills and thought they were a bit lazy for using them lol and have always found the meats I smoked to be juicier and more flavorful than the meats they smoked on pellet grills.

But now I'm starting to see the allure as I am shopping around for grills... The idea of filling the hopper, setting the temp and just letting the grill do its thing is soooo tempting...

I've been looking at the Austin XL Onyx at Walmart. Does anyone have any experience with this grill? How do you like it? Are there any mods or upgrades recommended for it? Obviously now I'll be getting a cover.

I'm a little bit concerned about regular grilling as my char griller I was able to just heat up some coals and also use it as a regular grill, from what I've been reading these are more like a convection oven and only have a small open flame searing area...if I get this thing I feel like I'm gonna have a huge learning curve and I don't want to regret getting one lol..

What about in the event of a power outage? It rarely happens here but it's always a possibility lol... What do you do then or what would you do? It's not like I can simply just keep fueling the fire whenever it needs more wood...

Any advice and tips or tricks is appreciated. Thanks again!

No Binder No Wrap

Pit Boss V3 smoker.

2 slabs came fairly trimmed up. Removed backside sheath.

Paper towel patted dry from refrigerator over night.

Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ rub.

250 for most of cook middle rack didn't move didn't rotate.

Water spritz top and bottom at 2.5 hours.

At 3:15 hours internal hit 192ish.

Sauced with Stubbs Smokey Brown Sugar

Bumped it up to 300 and let it run 15-20 minutes.

Bumped down to 225 for 10 minutes plus then pulled and let rest for 15 minutes.

Perfect bark, firm bite juicey AF meat candy.

The slabs were on the thinner side so the cook too less time.

Enjoy.

Smoker stopped working after 6 hours first time firing it up

The auger was not turning so we took everything apart and found this rock thing jammed in it. It almost has the same finish as the smoker. Putting the smoker back together and hoping it didnt kill the motor. This thing must have either been in the smoker itself or in a bag of pellets. Regardless I just put my smoker together last weekend. Filled the hopper and did the burnoff this week and just had a pork butt in there for about 6 hours before we got an error code.

Anyone ever have anything like this happen? The grates are fucking useless.

EDIT: Thank god the motor didn't burn out and the smoker is working as it should.

Navigator or Titan?

Which do I pick? The Pit Boss Navigator 1600 or the Titan 1600?

Is one more reliable than the other?

I bought a 1600 Pro Series 3 but it came damaged and Pit Boss is offering replacement (through the original retailer).

I had the 1150 Pro Series 2 and found it to be great. I decided to upgrade and was disappointed with a damaged unit. But now I have fortune on my side again!

Help me choose!
