Hey everyone!
Had been eye balling a Pitboss 1150 online for a while as my Oklahoma Joe's traditional smoker gave way to the elements and humidity down here after 5 years. Lowes didn't have the 1150 on display, but had the smaller 850.. looked like a great grill that could handle what I wanted to do.. then a glare in my eye got me. The 1600 was sitting a grill or two down. I immediately fell in love with how solid this thing felt! Gasket around the lid!?! What! Light in the barrel!! Sweet!
Anyhow, I left Lowes without either. Wanted to do more research and they didn't have the 1600 in stock.
Today they finally got some in stock and I grabbed the 1600. Got it together with the help of my boys. We did the initial burn in this evening. Took longer than expected to get up to temp, but new smoker it happens it'll get better after a few cooks. Probably gonna break it in tomorrow with some ribs, pork shoulder or tenderloin.
One question tho. I don't see a smoke setting on this nor in the manual. All the videos I've watched about the 1600 were from when it first dropped. Before the updated controller. Is there no way to ensure you get a lot of smoke from this pit?
This is my first pellet smoker, I'm used to charcoal and hard wood. So very interested to see how it works out for me. I've helped friends break in their pellet smokers, traegers mainly.
