Getting started is easier than you think!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Wow great job Drew and thanks for the shout out brother!! Good luck on your KZbin channel! remember it is a marathon and not a sprint brother!!! Hope you are still enjoying the 1600!!! I always say it is a great value pit for sure!! Plus they really do have a good customer service!!!

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Means so much to me. Thank you! Love your channel. Your video was the deciding factor in me getting the 1600 and i still love it. This KZbin journey is definitely a marathon, but I’m enjoying the process.

Best video I have seen yet thanks just got mine put together fixing to burn it off

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

@@josephbennett728 thank you. Means a lot to me. You will love your PitBoss

@@ReadySetBuildIt solid video and tips. Already purchased this grill but was looking for some more info on the initial burn, turns out it's gonna be the initial burn ins! Very helpful and good insight!

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

@@BradleyType Thank you. It really does make a difference.

[@bradcalbick4166]

I literally just got mine yesterday and I am looking forward to using it. Great advice and I appreciate knowing about 3 burn offs. One of the things I learned also is in order to make sure there are no cool or hots spots, and it is even temp, to add this metal covering to seal the gap near the probe under the heat shields. Apparently it works wonders.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Awesome. That’s great advice too. Ill look into adding one

[@tedstryker7965]

Great video Drew. You’re a natural.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thanks so much. I appreciate you.

Congratulations on your new grill! We’ve got a a Pit Boss Austin XL we’ve had about four years. Lots of cooks under our belt with good results.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thanks Deborah. It’s an awesome grill, I haven’t gone back to my gas grill since purchasing it.

[@toordog1753]

I just got the 850. Putting it together today 💪

You won’t regret it!

Good review and burn in! It's really great that Pit Boss has good customer service. I've heard that from a lot of people. Ricer is a good friend of mine and great guy. He sure knows his pits for sure.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thank you. So far so good. The new control module was back ordered and finally arrived. That will be the next upgrade.

Thanks

[@Jewnyer]

I loved your video brotha! Really informative. Quick question. When you said that they suggested 3 burnoffs, does that mean to shut it down after each burnoff? How long should you wait to do the next burnoff?

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thanks so much. I did my burn off consecutively, but I’m sure you could take a break in between if that’s what you had for time. The process is ready about “seasoning your grill” and allowing your pit boss brain a chance to learn its environment.

Damn 1600 square feet of cooking space. Wish my house was that big. I think you mean 1600 square inches buddy. Thx for the video.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

You’re right. Misspoken, but I think you get the gist. Thanks for watching

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

I have been using my Pit Boss Pro Series 1600 grill for a little over a month now and I don't know how I've lived without it. Let me know if you have a Pellet Grill and what you think about it.

[@teesong6801]

Good video and tips. I saw that turkey you were about to smoke. I’ll look for it on your channel! 😂

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn’t film the turkey cook. It was freezing that day, but it came out great. I’ll look to re do it at some point

[@SepatownSon]

Building and bbq. I can dig it.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thank you sir! Two of my favorite things

[@joshuabasham8502]

Awesome video. Had my 1600 for about a week. Have you had a problem with grill PID sticking to a certain temperature and not moving (350). It bounces around at first but then sticks, with lid open it still stays the same temp. All pellets grill I've ever used soon as you open lid it drops drastically. But this one never does. Thanks

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thanks Joshua. I haven’t had that issue. I’ve recently upgraded my PID and it is even better than when I first put the grill together. I would reach out to @pitboss as they have been really helpful to me when I needed help.

[@rinzler9775]

Dam, they got wifi in everything now.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Yep. And it’s awesome

[@johnwilliams4675]

Just a note; you should screen your pellets before you use them especially when the bag is close to empty. It will clog up your auger and send you an error message. Take it from one who had this issue happen to him!!

[@johnwilliams4675]

Also I have the Pro 1150 and love it!!

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Excellent tip. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnwilliams4675]

@@ReadySetBuildIt No problem! Merry Christmas!

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

@@johnwilliams4675 same to you pal.

[@jamor2549]

Do you keep the smoke stack closed during the burn off process?

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

I leave it opened. Air flow is a big part of how smokers work and you need air exchange to keep the temperature consistent

[@anthonyhpd1]

I’ve heard the deflector plate is pointless. Has anyone removed it?

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Interesting. What would be the benefit of removing it? I believe its purpose is to turn your direct flame into an oven by spreading the heat laterally and around. I would think removing it turns your pit boss into an ordinary grill.

[@TheDWZemke]

0:21 1600 sq inches not sq feet. Nice job on the video.. I love my 1600 pitboss.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Yeah that would need quite a bit of pellets haha.

[@stevethach3340]

Hey Drew! Great video! How have you liked the pro series so far? I'm thinking about getting the 1150!

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thanks so much for watching Steve. I’ve had it for about a year now and I’m still in love with it. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the griddle and that’s only because I’m too lazy to add and remove it repeatedly. 10 out of 10. I would buy it again!

[@emendoza41]

Did the griddle come with the 1600 only? Just got the 1150, but no griddle. Does Pit Boss sell as an attachment by chance?

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

To my knowledge, only the 1600 has the griddle. I’m sure you can google PitBoss griddle insert, but I think you would be better served with the PitBoss stand alone griddle.

[@emendoza41]

@@ReadySetBuildIt thank you sir

[@joebogle5272]

Have a friend who has a pit boss pellet grill. The pid controller has the temperature going all over the place. Sometime 50.degrees too high and then 50 degrees below set temperature. Anyone have that problem ?

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

I haven’t had that problem, but has he tried doing 2 to 3 cycles of the burn off to help the PID learn it’s grill and environment? From talking to customer service, multiple burn offs are key.

[@BAD-DAB13]

Nice grill. Got mine assembled yesterday. What cover are you using? I heard the one for the 1150 was a little short for the 1600.

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

Thank you! You’re going to love yours. I bought the 75in Horizontal Pit Boss Cover. Model #73402. You may have to get it from Lowes. I wasn’t able to find it anywhere else.

I had this exact same thing happened to me one time and I said bye bye pitboss hello z grills

[@ReadySetBuildIt]

I’m sorry to hear that. My new PID just arrived and although I’m happy to have more temps to use, my Pit Boss has been pretty spot on in matching the temps my signals are reading. I’m very hopeful the new PID will be dialed in quickly.

[@iceberg2221]

1600 square foot huh thats more room than my garage

Yeah my pit boss is the size of a small house 😂

square inches.....square feet is a HOUSE.

You got me. But square feet isn’t just for homes since we’re on the subject.
