hello everybody
I'm out here on my deck
on the back side of my house
just wanted to tell you a little bit about what I picked up today
lately I been thinking about
doing some smoking
no not that kind of smoking
lol
I'm talking about
acquiring a pellet smoker
so I can do some cooking outside
I mean I love smoking food
it just has a wonderful flavor to it and everything else
so i was finally able to
sell a couple of things
and get the money to buy a
pellet smoker
I was limited on options
went to a few stores
I don't know man but everybody is sold out on stuff
even at the prices their at, cause they are pretty expensive
so I ended up with what is called a Pit Boss
pro series
and
I don't know nothing about this brand
or this type of smoker
but, I was very limited as far as options go
they only had two Pit Bosses in stock
and I ended up going with this series cause it had WiFi and digital temperature controls
and stuff like that
so, let me show you what it looks like
so this is the Pit Boss
pro series
the thing is wicked heavy
I actually had to take it out of the box
so my buddy and I could bring it up to my deck
and all the other pieces are right down there
just waiting for me to get this thing put together
it looks like its well built
very heavy steel
I mean its wicked heavy
heavier than I thought it was going to be
pellet feed
pellets go inside here
feeds through, the auger is down in the bottom there
and then you got your digital control here with a knob and what not
I don't know much about a smoker cause I never owned a smoker
most of the cooking I ever done in the past
has been with charcoal and wood
so
I'm looking forward to getting this thing set up
and up and running
so I can try it out tomorrow
what I'm going to do now is I am going to put this together
I'll do it as a time lapse
and hopefully I can get this together man
(lol) I don't even know
I'm by myself right now so
we'll see if I can get this together or not
alright let's do this
(music playing)
their you have it
she's put together
it was actually easier than I thought
the only tools you need
to put one of these together is a philips screwdriver
a flat tip screwdriver
and a, what size is this, 7/16" wrench
it went together very well
no issues at all to get it together
and I did it myself
took about, in actuality, taking my time
took me about an hour maybe an hour and a half
to put this together
it is very, very heavy
two people are not going to be able to move this thing
the way it sits here now, complete
we had to actually take it out of the box like I said before
to get it up here
maybe if you get some really strong, two strong people you could probably pick this up but
it is going to take about four people to move this thing, if I need it to go down the stairs
or something
I don't plan on moving it
I think it is going to just stay right here, in this position here cause I got a plug on
the back side of this wall
if the smoke becomes a problem I'll have to move it over to the other side
but I am very happy with this so far
of course I haven't used it yet
I turned it on, the igniter is working, the fan is working
I put pellets in there
so we're ready to go
I am going to take the stickers off
get rid of these stickers
don't need this on here anymore
this thing does have WiFi and an app for it
don't know anything about that right now
eventually I will figure it out
this is the plagued that came with the grill
says 8 in 1 cooking
you can grill, smoke, bake, roast, sear, braze, char grill and barbeque with this setup
1155 square inches of cooking surface
so, I didn't want something that was super super big
but I didn't want something that was so small I could only cook, you know
one rack of ribs or something
so I am sure your all wondering what this ran me
it was just over, 700 dollars, but I also bought
two bags of Hickory blend hardwood pellets and I bought the pro series cover for it
I picked a lighter up for the house and some of this sweet rib rub
alright so we're going to start the burn off
and get this thing ready to cook tomorrow
if I get a chance
we're going to go ahead and power this up
we hit power
igniter is getting hot, the auger should start feeding the pellets into the fire box
going to run this thing at 350
for 40 minutes
to let everything burn off, the oils and all that stuff
so right now the fan, I know you can't see this but the fan, auger and igniter are all
working right now
this right here is for the temperature probes
this thing came with two temperature probes
when you first do this
you put the pellets in you have to prime
prime the system or the auger
so you just hold the prime button down
and that will turn the auger
until you get pellets into the fire pot
takes about a minute, maybe
alright, I don't know if you can hear it but you can hear the pellets dropping into the
fire pot
so we're all set
about a minute to about a minute and a half
you got to hold the prime button down to prime the system
and we should have some heat shortly
she's smoking now
I'm going to let it go for about
ten minutes or so with this open
get rid of all this white smoke from the oil and everything that is on the plates
now according to the manual this is what they call a burn off
wow you can really hear that flame now
woo!
look at that thing
I think you can see it
so now that most of that white smoke has gone away
we'll go ahead and close this
we'll let it burn off
for a total of 40 minutes and then we're done, we'll be ready to cook tomorrow if I get a chance
now its time to go to the grocery store and get some meats
don't know what I am going to do yet
I'm thinking a couple of racks of ribs
give that a shot
see how it come out
you all, take care
I'll see ya on the next one
(coughing)
does smell wicked good
