Did PB support today.
Called to discuss further smoke control. while was on hold i was perusing the FAQ page on the PB website.
I saw a question on P settings and had remembered earlier posts where people discused it. The newest generation of control boards don't have a P setting buttonthat used to be on the control board.
I you aren't familiar with P settings, it's a mode only available while in "S" (smoke or "L" low mode. what is does its sets a mode where the auger will push for varying times to load the pot then rest. loading the pot will allow pellets to smolder briefly generating smoke. There are 7 steps of P mode, and a nice video explaining the difference on the PB website under FAQ's P setting.
The support agent emailed me a PDF on setting P modes with the newer control panel.
It's a pain in the ass involving setting a recipe time for the P level you want and on and on for different P levels
I can't post the PDF here I think.
its actually a pain in the ass. You can also manually press the prime button with limited success since the fan will incinerate pellets as soon as they ae dumped into the pot

anyway. when I learn, i share.
time to get ready for Thanksgiving and get my turkey out of the freezer
 
I have no "P" setting on my PBV4PS2, but it is almost 4 years old. My controller has the 10-degree increments.
i Mike,
Neither does min. the P setting only shows if you go into recipe mode. it's a convoluted PITA. i don't know if i can attach a PDF they sent me, but I'll give it a go.
