Hey All,
I'm Matt, I live in AZ. I just picked up a Pro Series 1600 today off Craigslist. It was brand new, never used, but missing the griddle and one of the upper grates, neither of which are a big deal.
I got it home and assembled and did the first burn off this afternoon. I have seen a couple videos saying to do 2-3 to fully season the grill, so will probably do another tomorrow or Wed.
I'm stoked about my purchase, planning to smoke ribs on Friday for a NYE get together.
When doing the burn off I put a thermometer in the smoker, and I noticed that while the controller appeared to be holding steady at 450°F, the thermometer only got up to about 410°F. Is this type of discrepancy normal?
I do know that I have the old firm ware, as I have the 25°F temp increments. Is this something that I just reach out to Pit Boss about and I can get the update pretty easily?
Been looking for a long time, and the right deal just happened to strike this week. Super excited about the smoker.
Thanks,
Matt
