Fixing the HER code on a pit boss Austin XL

[@SuperPahoo]

The Pit BossTailgater model has a few more steps but uses the same part you did. It has a spade bid connection outside the burn box at the back of the pellet hopper that is enclosed within a removable cover. No doubt to ease production in assembly. A good thing to bypass and with full length cable like yours. There is an easily removable shield plate over the cable in the burn box also. Yours is the only one I could find that addressed the HER code and you are to be greatly commended to show us the process so well. By far this is one of my most treasured how to videos I have benefited from. And that's good.. because i was getting hungry. Part arrived lightening quick from Amazon.. like 13 bucks including tax. Thank you, thank you, thank you..

I just got this code tonight after grilling some steaks and burgers. The burgers were on the far keftside and had a pretty good Grease flair up so it triggered it? Plus it REALLY REALLY needed cleaned out so we cleaned it up and let it cool and it works perfectly fine again

Swapped out the thermal probe, smoker turned on but right away was reading high temp, but no ignition then code came back on and wont start, opened control board and saw the fuse isn't burnt out. not sure what's next.

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

The board itself might be bad 🤔

[@correy9413]

Where would I pick that up at?

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

I got mine directly from pit boss.

It fixed mine finally on my NEW PIT BOSS after waiting a month for a new panel that gave the same error. Waited another 2 weeks for that probe. BTW voltage isn't stable on my faulty thermocouple.

[@sfiv1987]

What issues were you having that you had to replace the rtd probe?

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

The thermometers didn't match after heating up and it would also shut the grill down giving the HER code

[@joshlowe670]

This might explain my issue as well. My pit boss has been reading WAYY under temp. Had it set to 250 the other day, came back and the manual Guage was reading almost 400 while the digital Guage was only reading about 205..... I was Noth thrilled. Thing I'm gonna replace the probe and see if that changes anything.

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

That should solve the problem if not you could have a bad motherboard but as long as it's under warranty pit boss replaces the part

[@ronbelcher9301]

thank you for the video mine was reading about 100 degrees more than what the actual temp was so I couldn't cook anything idk what made it go out we've only had it about a year maybe when we moved to our new house but we we're carful when we did move it. Anyway waiting for my part to come so I can replace it I ordered it on Amazon so it's only taking 2 days I can't wait weeks to eat bbq again lol

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

I'm glad I was able to help 😁

[@tilafoo]

Thanks for making this update, you had my dying laughing too haha.

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

I do what I can

[@richardthomas3858]

Do you keep it covered on your deck?

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

Oh yes I do

[@winnypooh818]

My lexington was jumping all over the place from 215 to 520 then droping slowly to 340 then getting erH all while being set at 250.. i will get this order asap

[@Atown804]

Same thing just happened to mine tonight. Did this fix yours?

[@winnypooh818]

@Atown804 yes it did all smooth smoking since!

[@Atown804]

@ thanks for following up! I will order a replacement tomorrow. Hopefully they can get it here before the weekend!

[@winnypooh818]

@@Atown804 mine was on Amazon next day delivery, installation would have been easier if i didnt have sausage fingers 🤣🤣

[@56nomadman]

Great Video Vinnie! I'm on the fence about which grill to get. My favorite BBQ is HEAVY smoked or to the point where it is bitter or almost bitter to the taste. Will this Pit Boss Austin XL get me there? Thanks RG

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

I'm sorry for making you wait 2 days for my reply I just saw this comment but yes you can get a really rich smoky flavour from this grill especially when you keep it in smoke mode as long as possible and you can also press the prime button and given an extra burst of smoke if you think it's not enough After I made the repair this thing has worked well beyond expectations

[@56nomadman]

@@VinniesKitchenYt No sweat Vinnie...thanks a lot for the reply !!

[@billysanders1313]

A smoker tube is the best way to get heavy smoke with a pellet grill, they’re cheap and work phenomenally. Amaze-ing brand is what I have

[@depravedregime5288]

Thx Vinnie

[@VinniesKitchenYt]

Happy I could help.
