PIt Boss Titan Pulled Pork -- First cook and Comparisons

Today’s video is all about testing out the new Pit Boss Titan Competition Series pellet grill, and we’re doing a smoked pork butt. We’re keeping this pulled pork simple with the seasonings so we can really taste the flavor, and we’re learning about the controls and smoke mode on the new Titan Pit Boss grill.

How did my first pork butt on the Titan pellet grill turn out? What about the bark? And what mistake did I make (for the second time)? You’ll have to watch to find out!

This is why your videos are so Damn good, you show your mistakes and own up to them unlike others who edit it out and never mention it. Kind of like when you forgot and flipped it upside down to take the paper off 😝. When struggling with WiFi if you have dual band you can turn off 5 mhz (on most routers) and use only 2.4 mhz for the connection. Once it’s found and connected you can turn it back on. Doesn’t always work but most times it will, most things struggle with 5 mhz, it is stronger so that’s what it tries to connect too but not compatible. Once it finds and remembers it you are good to go. Looks delicious as always … Cook on kids!

Definitely looking forward to the Ironwood vs the Titan comparison!!!

Great job Neil and Amy, came up with a winner after all and even the tweedy birds enjoyed it too so it has to be good. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and have fun with what you're doing. Fred.

You're not alone on wifi issues. Last week when you introduced the Titan I went online and checked it out. In the reviews there were a fair number of one star reviews, nearly all of them complained about the wifi not working. They either have a user unfriendly system or bad hardware/firmware, whatever.

On the foil boat preference, I find it most useful when the fat cap needs a little more render even if the bark is set well. The open top keeps rendering happening while protecting the naked meat on the bottom from getting overdone.

Everyone does it differently. All that matters is the taste and texture. I ran out of wood halfway through but had a decent bark. I put it in the instapot to finish it off. Came out pretty good. I've never tried a pellet smoker and never tried the paper method but eventually i will when i move. Until then I'll keep using my barrel smoker. I love that you have so many options to cook with

Excellent video. I like the reality the two of you provide.

[hkopper]

Excellent video….i love the idea of comparison video as I’m still on the fence between those 3 pellet grills.

In another video we talked about reheating brisket (or anything!) using the sous-vide method.
I did it tonight with leftover brisket, and it was absolutely perfect @145F for an hour or so. It maintained its original juiciness and tenderness. WooHoo! - Cheers!
This pork cook looked awesome - I've been adding a baking sheet under the foil after "foil boating" to prevent your juice leak - seems to work well for me so far.

Great idea with side by side cooks on the different smokers. Been Pit Boss fan for years, Titan on the top of my list for an upgrade. Don’t need the Wi-Fi or BT but like some of these features.

[simpletechreview]

Awesome transparent video as always. That’s why I use full and half aluminum pans 1. To keep the smoker as clean as possible and to catch juices and fats to reintroduce to the meat.

[smokingtarheel]

I read some reviews and many people are having issues connecting to that grill with Wifi. Great job cooking as always!

[markowen]

That definitely looks delicious!! When I do mine, after it gets good color bark, approx 165°, I put mine in 1 of those foil pans with the high sides and add a little apple juice, then cover tightly with foil. Once probe tender, I pull off and leave it in the pan and remove the foil. Let it steam off, and the bark will actually kinda Reset itself. After sitting for an hour, uncovered, I pull it. If I lack juice or need juice for reheating, I use apple juice. Everyone is different but I do like the foil method you did. I did that with racks of ribs and it was amazing!! Nice video as always, Neal!!

[Corypearson]

I made this yesterday and was told by those eating it that it was one of the top things I’ve made off the smoker.

[TheFoodExperience]

That Titan sure is a Beaut!! That pulled pork looks awesome to me! Great job on that Neal!!

[gharv]

Awesome cook Neal! Smoker did a great job, and you definitely pleased the taste testers 😂. Cheers brother 🍻

[bigvisk]

i just cooked one on my kettle yesterday, still early but now i want to go reheat some for an early lunch :)

[steveop]

I have smoked a pork butt(shoulder ) with just "shake that" and it was amazing Neal Great video sir

[johngardner]

On the smoke mode use your finger and dial it from p4 on up to p7 I believe is max I have the same grill and you can adjust the level of smoke on the smoke mode👍 keep em coming great video. Speak with pit boss on WiFi issue had the same issue they walked me thru it.

[charlesshepard]

would love to see the pit boss vs searwood. Top two on my list for an upgrade.

Getting a new pellet grill this week… what’s the smoke flavor on the Titan vs Traeger or your other grills? Does it hold up?
