Hope you had better luck than I did. My motor is definitely installed incorrectly, and the motor was wired backwards. After receiving another motor from Amazon, I see the motor has more problems then running backwards and being installed wrong. It is bound up. I'm not giving up. But will be sending a note to PitBoss.
I will say that I broke in the PB150PPS on Sunday for psuedo pastrami aka corned beef brisket that my amigo donated to the cause for a first time smoke. The corned beef was washed (i would recommend a cold water soak of a couple hours before hand as the end smoked past product was a bit over salted which would have been taken care of if you boiled your corned beef so definately soak pat dry and add black pepper and coriander to a 60/40 BP to C ratio. So I turned the unit off after a 40 minute burn and the added the pastrami brisket (smaller 6 pound mostly flat with the beginning of the point) then fired it up again at 225 and went on..6 hours in had a stall at 152 and then finally after probably 1.5 hours started going up and pulled at 180 then pink paper wrapped and bumped up to 250. Pulled at 193 and did the bamboo skewer test and in went right through.. I was solid and 4 peeps ate the whole thing with 4 pastrami rueben sandwiches. I did have some shrinkage and we ate some as we were cutting... I was concerned the pot would be filled with ask but there was literally only alittle black carbon and just a hair of ash in the pot. I was super happy with it and took the advice and put the left hand legs front and back on a 1/2 " piece of would to angle as people have said its a short run for the auger and that has eliminated pellets not moving towards the pot. All in all very happy with the cook and the taste.. Will be doing another cook over this coming weekend and informing with some pics. Peace Out
