Smoked Salmon on the Pitboss Pellet Grill

[@cookerama6265]

You can only adjust the P setting on smoke mode because it only works during smoke mode... default is 4. Lower number means less "pause" between auger runs. 10 degree diff between each number

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Yes I explained that. Thank you.

[@cookerama6265]

@@thebackyardgriller9076 you explain adjusting the setting before changing the temp. The p setting does nothing when setting to a temp

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Ok, thank you.

[@bgunckel]

@@cookerama6265 The P setting adjusts how often pellets are fed into the firebox; therefore, it is a heat adjustment. More pellets means more heat, and not necessarily more smoke.

[@cookerama6265]

@@bgunckel no kidding. I only said that the P setting can only be changed when in smoke mode. Once you change to a set temp then the P setting no longer does anything.

I added a another home built heat shield over my hot spot and got rid of it. It's just a flat piece of steel with four short bolts on the corners, works good.

[@lavellesmith96]

Great job on that Simon recipe and the cooking of it. Thank you for giving the pit boss P settings process.

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

It is my pleasure! Thank you for watching,we really appreciate it.

[@shanesnider8645]

Good job mate! Cheers from Texas!

[@andrewlwinanssr1261]

Very nice video looks awesome have to try it some day.

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Thanks!

[@CLEANCORVETTE]

Trying this today ,thanks for telling about the P setting , we the same grill and all videos I have watch nobody mentioned the P setting ,Thanks

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching i really appreciate it.

[@chrisb48907]

the P setting should be left at 4 actually because controls the auger that pushes the pellets into the fire pot..and you dont want t overload it...just my 2 cents

[@jdrhoads1984]

The P setting also only works when the auger is in timed mode “smoke setting”. It just increases the time between feeding pellets the higher you go. When you are on a temp controlled mode like 200 or 250 the PID is controlling the auger based on temp, not timing and the P setting doesn’t even come into play. So the way you messed with the P setting, you basically did it for nothing because you took your smoker out of smoke mode.

[@johnrussell3449]

The spray butter is the bomb to use on chicken or turkey!

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Oh yes I agree, I use it on my Turkey as well. Thank you!

[@kingofthebonelesschickens2722]

Very simple. Thanks for sharing.

[@Travisjoe31]

Life hack- adding butter to any meat is always going to work out

[@kevincomstock5633]

P setting doest change anything when your running a temp. If you want more smoke use a smoke tube

[@redbone7040]

Excellent 👌 thanks for tomorrow 😋

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Thanks for watching!

[@BarbaraR55]

Looks good

[@s.pursell8901]

Your comments about the "P setting" isn't completely true. I spoke to a representative from Pit Boss over the phone. Which started via email. And this setting is only adjustable during when using the smoke setting. As soon as you turn the dial to a temperature it automatically goes back to 3 or 4 depending on which series you own. This is due to it not being able to hold a contest temperature when burning more pellets. Which in turn would create more heat. Please feel free to contact them as well. They were really nice over the phone and even sent me a huge box of sample pellets for free.

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Thank you very much, I read the manual and it explains the p settings fairly well. I only adjust it on the smoke setting then I adjust to my desired temp and it works like I expect it to. Thanks again for watching and your comments.

[@usofine0690]

Hubby Tried it your way and it was delicious 🤤

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching.

[@GTJW22409]

What Temp did they finish?

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

145 to 150, thanks for watching.

[@MaverickZ007]

Why does the salmon look like it's been grilled rather than smoke?

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Very good question, it has to do with the rub that I used. It has some sugar so it will form a crust when smoked and because I added the spray butter. This turned out very delicious not kidding, give it a try. It so simple vs brining for hours before smoking. Thanks for watching!

[@gabelizaola3232]

What rub did you use?

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Just lemon & pepper.

[@raidergil6003]

👌 NICE

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Thank you, i really appreciate it.

[@TheMoistDonuts]

Was the skin crispy or rubbery?

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Crispy, turned out delicious.

[@mcdonalk53]

Never realized you had to have it on smoke to change the p setting that’s for the tip!!!

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

You are welcome! Thank you for watching.

[@theviper6602]

The p setting only works in the smoke setting doesnt change smoke while on other setting

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

@@theviper6602 Yep, when I use it, I just set it on smoke for about an hour then turn it up to cook.

[@BBBYpsi]

Where is the smoke once it starts cooking?

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

It's there, pellets burn very clean.

[@kimsetraycic5453]

Did you spray the butter after 30 minutes into cooking?

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Yes, makes a big difference.

[@tjh7835]

Fish did look good but you were cooking way over 200 degrees your machine was incorrect at 200 degrees that would not happen in 45 minutes.

[@enviping]

2 years ago but looks SMACKIN

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Thank you!

[@rc9749]

No brining, no pelicole

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

No brining,correct.

[@Arakines]

as a master salmon smoker ill let you know your salmon is not smoked salmon that is grilled salmon

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Well good for you, I never said I was a master . Thanks for watching and have a great day. God bless.

[@mjuberian]

Cooked it instead of smoking it.. too hot

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

It tasted very good!

[@grouponful]

I saw zero smoke in the video

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

That is because pellets burn very clean but you do get some good smoke flavor. Thanks for watching.

[@0707sheva]

Overcooked

[@gabelizaola3232]

I think he cooked it perfect. I guess it all depends how u like your fish cooked

[@Arakines]

that isnt even a recipe, applewood rub and throw it on the grill?? lol no brine no drying funny

[@puhlyy]

You know you can eat salmon raw right? Lol

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

Yes I have seen that done but not my cup of tea lol! Thanks for watching.
