Pit Boss Lexington Onyx Edition: Put Some Heat In Your Grilling Game. the burn off

[@OkieSmokin]

I have that exact model arriving today, great video explaining the initial setup. Thanks man!

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Thanks. the more i use it the more i love it. . you may find it over shoots set temp. but that will go away the more you use it.

[@judgewepbbq]

That Onyx series pit looks legit...impressed how you manned up and read some instructions! 👀

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Thanks. Still reading up on it. Lol

[@andrewturner2226]

You could take a handfull of pellets and drop them in the burner to get it started.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

you could if you like.

[@Martin4949]

Your auger tube won't be primed, though.

[@mramericanmuscle40]

You keep holding the prime button until you see pellets then you put a handfull into the but pot.

[@vmarsfiles]

You don't have to keep holding the prime button once you get a few pellets on the auger..once you get a few pellets inside you can stop and it should ignite

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

you need just enogh pellets in the cup to touch the igniter.

[@andrewturner2226]

@@ScottysBackYardBBQ You can also drop a handfull of pellets in the burner.

[@jonthomas8487]

What I’ve noticed is most companies focus on larger models and say they do everything a gas grill does as well as smoke things. For me I’m not looking for a do everything grill. I like the convenience of a propane grill (I use a Napoleon Prestige 500). I mainly want a dedicated smoker for brisket and other things. The smaller pellet “grills” seem to regulate temp better and are more efficient at smoking meat than larger ones. Is that a fair assessment?

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

this lexington does great on briskets holds temp great, for a small family or 1 person it is perfect.

[@theilliniguy]

Good stuff! Looking forward to understanding about PID and the new digital temp control options compared to the old model.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

Coming soon sude by side comparison.

[@ssp_2015]

PID is awesome. Idk if you're familiar with it but it's basically just a computer controlled temperature.

I've seen a tip when you're doing.Start up for the first time.Take a handful of pellets and fill it in the Is burn chamber and by the time It's ignited.The auger will have brought pellets over

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

i do not recommend that. since the auger is on a timer. it could over flow the pot.

Almost 1yr in, what's your opinion? I I just bought one and I'm worried I should've bought a bigger/better one.

its an amazing pit i bout 1 more. i love the lexington. if you have a big family maybe go bigger. or do what i did and buy2 lol

[@ComedyBros5]

@@ScottysBackYardBBQ That's comforting to hear. Thanks for the quick response. I was worried about size because I my extended family is huge and I usually grill burgers/pork steaks once a couple months and have everyone over. I was using a charcoal grill about twice the size of this Lexington. So, while I could have twice the amount of meat on the grill than I can with this Lexington, I was also dealing with slow cooks/fighting temperature. I'm thinking with this Lexington, not having to fight the the temp will speed up cooking and it won't be such a hassle anymore.
