I’ve been eyeballing this unit so I can ascend into an entry smoker. Very detailed run through on the hot spot.

Love the Turtle Toast test Mazie! Great explanation about the different uses. Especially for newbies it makes that confidence level jump up a lot! My Pro Series 2 has the same toast marks as your Austin XL. I love the different zones cause it lets you manage your cooks all that more!

Turtle toast is awesome. Gonna buy this grill this fall. Planning on getting the curved diffuser infill panel for the left side for more accurate temp readings, and maybe the firepot cover piece to make the smokes more even. You da WO man Mazie.

Another great video. Speaking of cooking things that are outside the normal "bbq" items, we love baking our pizza in our pellet smoker, we put them in as the temp is ramping up to get some of that wood fired smokey flavor (works with frozen too). One person's turtle toast is another person's excuse to make chicken salad sammiches. Have an amazing rest of your week.

That’s an awesome idea to take advantage of that extra smoke! I’m working on pizza for the channel, you’ll have to let me know how I do!

Turtle toast. I saw on another guys channel that there is a small heat deflector you can get to deflect a lot of that heat from the burn pot to the left and right. He also found that the standard pit boss design allows for a lot of heat to come out the left side of the drip tray, then hitting the RTD probe making the grill run cooler overall than set point. They also make a plate the goes in place in the left side to fill that gap and allow heat to go around more naturally around the front and back. It seemed to help a lot for his pit. No matter how big you burn pot deflector, at higher heat there is always a hot spot right over it. Pit boss’ decision to have they sear feature and no standard deflector under really accentuates that hot spot in the middle. I’m glad you point it out because as a newbie many years ago I didn’t think much at all about radiant heat….and it DOES matter. Now I pretty much smoke everything on my top rack with a water pan under the lower grate sitting on the drip tray. Other higher heat cooks I do I the bottom or simple short cooks.

Turtle Toast! This video was exactly what I was looking for and so I thank you. I owned the original Austin XL for 6 years. Long story short I need a new one now (my fault and we will leave it there 🙂). I just seen the new ones and wanted to research them. Seen this video and it helped so much. My old one had hot spots and that bread trick was great! I was seeing if they also fixed the smoke flavor too. I always felt the old one didn't produce enough smoke flavor. Hope this one is better! Great video's!

Turtle Toast Mazie! Just picked up one of these that was under a tarp and marked "Clearance" at my local Walmart. Box was a bit beat up, but you couldn't beat the price. My first smoker and me thinks I'm going to love it. Been a Weber kettle guy for many moons and wanted to upgrade. Don't know if I'm going to dump my kettle grill, gas grill and my Big Green Egg just yet, but time will tell. So glad I found your vids! Will finish assembly tomorrow and do my burn in. Want to smoke a turkey breast for Turkey Day! The adventure begins!
