The Ultimate Guide to Restoring Your Pellet Smoker

[@RicsBBQSpecialties]

You did a great job on this one! Crazy what people throw away.

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

[@themurc6391]

19:18 ah yes. That new phobia that GS’s “what not to do” video unlocked in me.

[@felipestevens2719]

that's really cool what you did, especially for your neighbor

[@themurc6391]

So sad someone gave up on this smoker. I couldn’t afford it when I went I buy my first smoker but this is the exact model I told my wife I wanted one day.

[@TherealSoxfan85]

Awesome video and music. Seriously one of my favorite kind of videos to watch.

[@meredithmcdaniel2640]

Awesome job. I love getting stuff off the side of the road to fix and play with.

[@gharv1313]

Great restoration Andrew! Your neighbor will love it. Thanks for sharing. Cheers 🍻

Woo Hoo!! The pit boss whisperer. Great job.

[@g2skinny]

Dude really cool music hope it works for a long time it looked rough oh try oven cleaner on the grates and stuff

I got a Pit Boss 820D for free this past weekend, it needed a good cleaning. I cleaned it up and then it kept getting a ERH code, so I ordered a new control board and RTD probe off Amazon for $45, and now it works. I also replaced all the gaskets and some of the worn out screws.

Was up pit boss Grill Sargent,. I have 2 months with my pit boss and got it used, It was also very dirty and cleaned it up, I turned a small fire and degrees melt down the grills very carefully that worked for me and changed the controller I loved it Pit Boss Austin Xl. Like your Channel 🤜💥🤛

[@anthonyp2003]

I have one of these grills, very underrated especially if you only have space for one unit. The time based controller is definitely inferior to the modern PIDs controllers, so I don’t use it for long cooks much, but she’s great for small or short jobs like smoked cream cheese, smoked Mac, etc. and also nice for cranking out burgers if I don’t want to mess with charcoal.

Spray first with Dawn ultra platinum power wash dish spray

[@joelewandowski8232]

Looks good . I sprayed my grates with easy off cleaner then power washed. Just don't get it on your skin or in your eyes.

[@anitaeaton6307]

What can you spray on rust inside grill? Or leave it alone???

[@GrillSergeant]

I usually spray cooking oil on the inside of the grill, you really don’t want to paint the inside of a grill.

[@PINTO2O2O]

Just got a Pitt boss smoker hand down and I'm bout to go through this process, my question is, there is some rust on the barrel part right under the lid on bottom side, is there a safe spray paint for that or am I screwed until a rust hole opens?

[@GrillSergeant]

I would avoid painting the inside of the smoker. I would spray oil on to help keep it from further rusting

[@PINTO2O2O]

@@GrillSergeant it's on the outside part of the barrel were the lid closes, sorry I should have been more clear. It almost looks like from steam condensation something that came out of the lid and and drained down the outside, kinda like the streaks around the lid in the video. It was stored on a semi sealed porch with no rain contact. Could I paint that part?

[@GrillSergeant]

@@PINTO2O2O For outside stuff I would use a high temp paint

[@PINTO2O2O]

@@GrillSergeant Thank you!

[@stevenwilliams1517]

So I ended up getting a good deal on the pit boss grill like this one, I’m looking forward on giving it some TLC and start cooking on it. Does Pit Boss sell hardware kits for the grills? The grill is missing some parts and stuff.

[@The_Dougie]

I don't get these combo grills. Neither side is big enough for any large cooks.

[@GrillSergeant]

True, you can’t feed a small army with it, but for a small family if you are cooking a brisket or pork shoulder, it will get the job done. You can do cold smoking on the grill side or hot quick cooks with the burners on. If I just had to pick between this and a dedicated gas grill I would choose this triple combo in a heartbeat.

[@The_Dougie]

​​@GrillSergeant fair enough. I have dedicated grills for each use including a small gas grill. Love my pit boss smoker.

[@The_Dougie]

​. Enjoyed the video BTW. Reminds me I need to clean mine. When I find time and get off KZbin. 😂

[@Portuguese-linguica]

Ooo man she was abused and not loved.

[@loubarbero7362]

Use goo gone oven and grill cleaner. It works great.

[@Michael.Cookv2.0]

Oven cleaner is toxic, so I’d use something else. There’s plenty of non toxic degreasers or just turn up the heat on the grill or put the parts in your oven on self cleaning, it burns off everything at 600*
