For the past 5 years, I've had an enormous 5+1 burner gas grill. Over the past 2 years or so, I've noticed a propensity for grease to NOT drain into the grease trap...it would just sit on the lower tray under the burners. A few months ago, it caught fire and ruined my burgers, so I tossed it. We were planning on getting an extension to the porch poured, and I figured it would be the perfect time to get a new grill. I wanted a smoker, but my wife has always been hesitant...her stepdad bought one when she was a teenager and smoked EVERYTHING for about 6 months, then lost interest and SHE wound up being the only person to use it. She was reluctant to have the same thing happen again. Now, you also have to understand that I have acquired 4 propane bottles over the years, so I wanted the ability to actually use them (and let's face it, sometimes you just want to throw some hot dogs on the grill and not have to fire up a pit). So when I found the Pit Boss Pro Series 1100 II, I knew right away that it was EXACTLY what I wanted.
So I made burgers on it after the burn off, but noticed that the Pit Boss brand pellets I got were SUPER dusty.
On Memorial Day, I made a brisket. Sunday evening, I set the grill to 225 and let it go. It rained overnight, and when I woke up, the grill was at 177, despite being still set to 225. I had to hold down the prime button to feed extra pellets into the firepot to bring it back up to temperature. During the day, I set it to 250, and noticed that the temperature was at 205. Repeat the pellet feed procedure to correct it. I used an accurate probe thermometer, and found widely different readings between it, and what the controller reports, too. Is this something I should call support about?
The brisket still turned out fantastic, though.
