Watched like 10 videos on this and you're the only to actually explain how to use it. Greatly appreciate that.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Glad it was helpful! and hope to see you again!

[@DiannaAtherton]

Hands down the BEST video I've seen for a beginner like me. Thank you for a Easy to follow, straight to it and no loud music. My friend said "and the most useful information".

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks. Of course I hope you have subscribed. Also. 24/7 questions answered [e-mail]

[@PB-en1up]

Thank you so much for having us video I actually called the New York rep that deals with PitBoss and the other ones who emailed me your link because people us needs to do one thing from Traeger and that is give a full step-by-step instruction on how to prime it and do the first lighting as the one thing that Traeger beats him again thank you so much I'm gonna let it cook for 40 minutes and then we'll go to the first cooking take care of yourself Peter

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Awesome post and much appreciated! Enjoy and if you ever have any questions [e-mail]

[@graphwyatt454]

Just assembled my new 7 Series. Can't wait to smoke a brisket next weekend. Thanks for this video. Really helps me to be prepared, get it started right. Much appreciated.

TGOGS thanks buddy.

[@allneedsmobiledustlessblas2859]

Great video brother! Yours is the first to walk through step by step of the setup. Smoke on!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks and I hope to see you again.

[@stevenlogsdon5453]

Awesome video was given a used pitt boss and was having trouble getting it going. After watching had no problem getting started smoking.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks Steven. Enjoy it which i'm pretty sure you will.

[@mjrockholt]

Never heard anyone say "of course" so many times, but very informative video

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

Looks pretty cool Tommy! Can't wait to see you cook up some good food!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Charlie so far so good. love the real estate it takes up, or lack of real estate it takes up :)...

[@RicsBBQSpecialties]

Very helpful video, I just picked up this same smoker today. 😎 let the fun begin 😉

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Ric, That cookers a beast.

[@Viewtoagrill]

Fun Fun!! New bbq toys! Very interesting.. I have never seen a pellet grill this close... I don't know anyone who actually owns one... Looks like a great new cooker though! Can't wait to see you pull something off of it.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks and stay tuned.

[@J.SargeScratches]

Gotta prime your smokers everytime for those who don't know. Very important step!! 👍👍👍

[@thegalleryBBQ]

That's Prime it everytime before first use. once used priming is no longer necessary. unless that is you run the cooker out of pellets.🙏🙏🙏

[@CookingwithKirby]

thanks for the tip bro. Im buying that bad boy this weekend.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Kirby, Thanks brother. You'll love it.

[@SmokingBears]

Nice demonstration bud 👍👍

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Lee thanks bud.

[@cskoo5942]

Why would you use smoke for the first burn off, I would think the high temperature would be enough.

[@simplemansBBQ]

Man I want one of those so bad. I'm a lil jelly right now haha. I can only imagine the wonderful BBQ you can make in that Tommy.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Jason your day will come, trust me!

[@Misty3133]

I never had to prime mine. I did the burn off and a batch of wings the next night. Love it!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Enjoy and happy new years!

[@ChipsOutdoorChannel]

I'm liking the new toy! I accidentally bought a bag of wood pellets online. I don't have a pellet smoker. I'd send them to you if shipping wasn't more than the bag itself! I'm looking forward to seeing your creations with the new Pit Boss!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Chip thanks buddy. maybe a pellet smoker is in youe cards. lol

[@CookingwithKory]

Ready to roll, Tommy!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

You betcha.:)

[@meatcranium4280]

First off love the tumbnail

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks Chris. I see Mike, You, Rico and a few others using Pictures in there Thumbs and figured i'd give it a go since it looks cool. so yeah, thanks :).....

[@johnmanthey2683]

Looks brand spanking new. I removed the safety grid on my hopper as makes it easier to clean the hopper out when I want to change pellets. I have the Copperhead/series five. Have it about a year. Learning from Louis at R-Shack BBQ I got couple pieces 1/4 inch rebar and cut them to size as shelf width. Got meat hooks from Gateway Pit Barrel smokers. I can hang ribs and chicken. I like my ribs done that way. Good luck. I did two 15 pound whole turkeys last thanksgiving.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Louis is the man to learn from for sure-. John, your going to love this thing. I also have the #5 and the things a beast. smokes well and holds temp pretty good. you can also feed a small army :)... Enjoy it and please keep me posted as you move forward.

[@CookingWithRexy]

Loved the beginning!!!! 🔥 🎶 🙌🏻 And love you soooooo!!!! Ok gonna watch you set up that bad boy! ☺️😘

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Im all about the bigining and ending ;)...

The Gallery Backyard BBQ OOHALALALA 🔥

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Great thorough information bro. These videos should do well for you.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Scott thanks buddy. So far so good with the cooker.

[@scottyjones2140]

I just bought the onyx edition I did the prime, burn off, and my first cook on it at 250. However, no somke flavor at all what did I do wrong or any suggestions

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Mike from Culinary Cookhouse really loves his. Will be fun to see you break it in.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Hobie's definitely. i'm looking forward to creating some good food.

[@laurenmasson3364]

Hi there, thank you so much for your very informative and visual demo. I thought I did the priming properly and started the burn up. when I went back to the Pit Boss series 3 vertical the display read ErL which I cannot find in the trouble shooting guide. maybe when priming the flames did not actually start? thanking you in advance for any advice you can offer :)

[@thegalleryBBQ]

You have to search what that code means.

[@CookingWithRexy]

Ok that was sooooo cool! Ya learn something new everyday I say! Hmm 🤔 Thank you for this my Tommy! That is definitely one bad ass piece of machinery! Good luck and have fun with it honey. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of it. Hehe 😉 🔥 😋 OMG the ending. I am OCD! I wanted to fix your rack! ( Haha that sounds funny but ya know. Haha 😆 ) Much love honey. 😘

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Its always all about the rack. I think I said Rack 20 times. oh wait, thats in my baby back rib cook up soon. rack rack and rack. damn that rack. lol

[@CookingWithRexy]

The Gallery Backyard BBQ lmaooo 😂 I mean who doesn’t love a good rack. Am I right or am I right!? Hehe 😉

[@GrillSergeant]

What! Why have I never seen this video!! We have the same smoker! LOL

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Dude..... your me, i'm you. I thought we went over that!

[@LuckyLarrysBBQ]

Hey Tommy I’ve been looking at the pit boss copperhead vertical smoker do you have an opinion on this I’m wanting to know if the model 5 or 7 is the way to go I’m currently using my Traeger or my Masterbuilt 30” vertical smoker to do my custom smoked bacon I want something that can hold more as I do between 40-60 lbs a month thanks for all you do cheers 🔥👍🍺

[@thegalleryBBQ]

if i remember correctly PB makes a good vertical

[@LuckyLarrysBBQ]

@@thegalleryBBQ thanks Tommy good to know I’m looking to enhance my bbq options

[@4seasonsbbq]

Well Tommy I hope yours works better than mine. Mine is a total piece of you know what. I've had mine about a year and a half and I've used it three times. If I set the temp at 250 it will jump up to way over 350 and then drop down to about 180 or less. It's done it all three times. It now sits in the back of the garage and gets used as a collect all, it works much better as that. Good luck brother.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Jeez Ron I've heard nothing but good things. Same grill as mine ?

[@4seasonsbbq]

@@thegalleryBBQ oh yeah same smoker. Someone told me my thermostat must be bad but I'm so pissed about it I don't even care. I just build my own now, I know they work.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

You're welcome!

[@raytrout8272]

You do a lot of different equipment I know it's not an LSG but what's your take on the pit boss vertical

[@thegalleryBBQ]

As a dedicated smoker its killer.

[@danna140]

Once again I can't wait to see what you're gonna smoke first 💨

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Dan the man Na your continued support is much appreciated.

[@piggywill5157]

Right

[@nathanusrey777]

Should you have water in the tray for the burn off?

[@thegalleryBBQ]

No..... not during the burn off.

[@priceles74]

Of course

[@meatcranium4280]

That’s a Huge hopper

[@thegalleryBBQ]

right. 60 lbs. the better part is that easy clean-out as now it allows me to change out pellets 1-2-3. I wish my Rec Tec had that!

[@JSway-fp4mj]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

You're welcome!

[@slysleuthatx]

Any idea why I'm getting erH? Copperhead is basically new. Only a rack of ribs cooked in it to test. Worked well for that. Getting error now. Cleaned, including temperature probe, and auger is putting out pellets.

[@sbaker8971]

It's either a bad board or the temp sensor has a bunch of baked on grease. Clean the temp sensor and if it still doesn't work, call the company for a replacement board and temp sensor. Assuming you registered it.

[@slysleuthatx]

@@sbaker8971 its only.one cook in. They're sending me s new control panel. Thanks for the response!

Tommy super Cool Brother

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Chris thanks my man.

[@bradmaples8876]

I just bought one of these and I'm not sure if the ignitor is bad or what but it won't ignite. I can feel the air coming out but it doesn't even begin to warm up. The augur will drop the pellets in but it just runs and nothing happens. Looks like I'm going to have to return it

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Did you prime??

[@bradmaples8876]

@@thegalleryBBQ Thank you for the response. I got it figured out. It was 100% operator error 😂

[@paulsq_]

It looks like you had a lot of smoke leaking out the top of the door? It’ll start a lot faster next time you fire it up, now that you’ve got pellets in the auger. I might go and buy a copperhead next so I’ll have a dedicated smoker for hanging sausages and bacon when I don’t feel like firing up my WSM. Can’t wait to see what you cook first on it.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Thanks Paul. I'll check that. i'm sure some Mods will happen down the road.

[@brentsvensson7882]

Did you add the hopper opening handle? Mine didn’t come with one...

[@RobsBackyardBBQ]

Looks great Tommy - whats the first victim on the new smoker?

[@thegalleryBBQ]

I did 1 nice small 2lb rack of hand selected baby back ribs. video is in edit:).....

[@hellalike]

Did yours smoke for the entire burn off period or just at first? Mine started smoking just fine but then it stopped smoking. There’s just a small fire in the burn pot that I can see.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

It smokes more on start up then slows as the cooker warms up. Thanks-)..

[@stevostoys]

Followed steps in the instruction manual exactly, it starts smoking but never catches fire and the auger eventually overills the pot the embers go out and it trips an error code.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Bad unit. Contact pit boss ASAP.

[@retiredfire2013]

Good smoker seems that it was leaking a lot of smoke around the door?

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Yeah.... Love the Pit Boss but had to sell it. Thanks for watching and hope to see you again

[@JustinKirby]

The door latch (just by looking at the video) wasn't properly adjusted. In their instruction manual: "Fine tune and test the cabinet door latches and hooks to ensure they align properly and there is a proper seal while the door is closed. Poor alignment may result in heat loss and leaks during use."

[@drierdan]

Great video. I have watched many of your MB 560 videos too. I can decide between the PB vertical and the MB 560. Which one would you recommend, or are they both great?

[@thegalleryBBQ]

I loved my vertical but like my 820 better for the direct flame that i can get for searing. The 560 can be found for a steal at around 300.00. so yeah, both great:)...

[@danielperry3008]

Can't get the start button to shut down hold it a bit and it just stays on called cust.ser. and they never call back. On hold just got tired of it

Thanks for the comment.

[@DanielDiaz-ng5wb]

**BEWARE FIRE HAZARD** I have been a firm believer and user of this product for some time now. I have done many smokes almost weekly. I maintain and clean my smoker after every use. I have recently found an issue that is concerning and could cause a fire on long smokes. Under the unit were the thermometer line comes through, there is a big hole that allows the grease to run down onto the electrical wires and connectors. It has the potential to cause a fire.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Interesting find. Thanks.

[@johnmanthey2683]

By the way. Louis bought an extra shelf and brackets. He did 12 racks of baby backs in his

[@thegalleryBBQ]

John, that things a beast. I love mine and you'll love yours.

[@johnmanthey2683]

The Gallery Backyard BBQ I’ve had mine for a year now. It is great. But for a fat old single person it is really too big for me. But, for a young buck like you with a family and all I think you will make great use of it. All I can say after a year it turns out great food.
