Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to make this video sir! I’ve been on the fence about getting myself the timberline and this video swayed me to get one. Keep it up man and post more, your channel is great!

You'll notice too.There's a little magnet on that side where the light is and that indicates that it's open for more pellet delivery and the light is letting.You know that it's responding to it.I don't necessarily think it's just for vision.That was not its intention.I'm not mistaken

[thebear]

That's another thing between the ironwood and the timbermine.You'll notice great smoke performance with this new type of barrel design on these units.At any temperature they produce consistent and abundant smoke

[thebear]

I noticed just from feedback from my customers. The ironwood does take a pinch longer than the timberline. When it comes to high temperatures, but once it's there maintains pretty well, especially with the door sensor that's where the light lights up on the side of the hopper indicates to the logger to pump more wooden based on the fact that your girl lit is open, but I tend to do more low and slow myself. Some food items that you would like that. Smoke and taste don't finish as well unless you do cook high and fast. Haven't had any problems myself. And like most things when you're doing a smoke type.Cook take some time even at a high temperature so to be expected

[JonNicarlo]

Do you find the unit is big? In other words unnecessary cooking space where you would be fine with the smaller ironwood? I have the timberline 1300 and thinking about going ironwood but between the XL and standard size.

Brother, this grill looks perfect. So much more smoke than in the older ironwoods.

[Grumpy_Monk]

So, how does this thing work for stuff like hot wings? I will throw them on the grill at around 400-425 and I haven't seen any reviews saying anything on this.

[thebear]

What helps with that sometimes too if you want that extra smoking is that you can't get even though these units produce great smoke.Get a smoke tube and put some chunk pieces of wood.Whatever you're liking is off to the cooler side and that will help boost the smoke flavor if you're not getting enough from whatever pellet choice you've made and whatever temperature you're cooking at at least I find that helps

[thebear]

What I would say. I'm not saying you don't do. It is always leave. It plugged in and connect it to the internet. And then you won't run into any issues. If there is an update when you have to cook and like any computer, sometimes it trips the machine out. Also I noticed sometimes from filling the hopper. You get dust particulars behind the knob. And sometimes it's not as responsive quick. Blow out will machine blow out something like that? Like a leaf blower type machine. Have a small one remedy that issue highly had. That happen to me one time. I have a trigger timberline. But the controller.
S and hopper Also the auger are the same in the ironwood also

[pudman]

So you can use the meater block on the xl

[thebear]

Great video.By the way very intuitive for people who are interested

[daveshalley]

Hi mate, great video, what pellets do you use?

[miggythegreat]

Do you leave the lid open when starting it up?
