How to use a pellet grill | Pit boss pro series 1150

WHAT IS A PELLET GRILL?
Pellet grills are outdoor cookers that combine elements of smokers, charcoal - gas grills, and ovens. They use 100% all natural hardwood pellets as the fuel source that allows Pit Boss® Pellet Grills to provide direct or indirect heat.

HOW DO PELLET GRILLS WORK?

Wood pellets are poured into a storage container called a hopper. The pellets are then fed into a cooking chamber by an auger that is powered by electricity. Thru combustion, the wood pellets ignite, heating the cooking chamber. Air is then brought in by intake fans. Heat and smoke are then dispersed throughout the cooking area.

Much like an oven, pellet grills give you precise temperature control digitally or with a dial, usually ranging from 180°F to 500°F. So, you can cook “low and slow” or searing hot.

Most pellet grills have a meat probe that can connect with the control board to monitor the internal temperature of the meat. Pit Boss® Grills have a patented SearZone™ plate which allows for indirect or direct heat and 8 different cooking options.

HOW ARE THE PELLETS MADE?
Wood pellets are exclusive to pellet grills. Pit Boss® hardwood pellets are made from 100% all-natural hardwood that is dried and ground into saw dust. The dust is then pressurized at extreme heat to create the compact pellets that are coated and held together with the wood’s natural lignin. Wood pellets are also known as the easiest fuel to use. They produce less than 1% of ash, so an entire 40lb bag of pellets will only turn into ½ cup of ash, which makes clean up a breeze. They also provide immense flavor without needing to think about babysitting the air to fuel ratio like with wood chips or chunks.

PELLET GRILL VS SMOKER

While pellet grills give you the option to smoke foods, they are different from traditional smokers in certain ways. Mainly, since pellet grills use an automated fuel and air delivery system, it is much easier to control temperatures than a traditional smoker. You might have wanted to avoid smoking food due to how difficult it can be to manage the fuel source over a long cook that can span many hours. Pellet grills can eliminate this frustrating task, making the smoking process a virtually “set it and forget it” one. Now you can enjoy the flavor benefits of smoking without needing to be an experienced BBQ pitmaster

Pellet grills also give you the convenience of combining many different cooking options into one unit. A traditional smoker only smokes, so you would have to buy a separate unit if you wanted to grill, bake, or roast your food.

[chastityvereb]

[BryceYoung-mk]

Thank you for this. This will help out a lot of beginners.

[Baron-Ortega]

Im loving my CC WW36! I find using a paint scraper on the drip pan to help get grease off really works well. Thanks for the video

[koreywilliams]

I'm thinking about getting my first combo grill, pit boss pro.

[stevencole]

When you are done cooking and do the shut down, do you need to empty your pellet hopper? When you empty the hopper, the shut down burns off whatever pellets are in the auger. If you leave pellets in the auger then they will get moisture and swell up and cause a jam.

[brianbrian]

What happens when you lose electricity while using the grill? Will it affect the pellets any?

[brendawaters]

I want to know more about the p setting and cooking with it and should I regulate the chimney if I want to cook at a low temp on the pitboss

[Hutch-qk]

Placement of meat on the 1050. Where do you put a brisket/ribs/pork? Right above the burn pot (center of main grill? To the outlet side (right)? On the upper rack?

[Vegacbr]

I’m looking to switch over from charcoal to one of there pellet grill

[dawnymae]

So it does smoke even when it’s turned to a temperature ?

[dewaynehastings]

Will it help to “sift” the pellets before filling your hopper to remove the dust

[leanderkelsey]

Great video, just got my grill haven’t even turned it on yet going next video. To do burn off

[grubnstuff]

I have what looks like this model. From other videos, there is a "P" setting or smoke setting from the settings menu. Mine does not have that option. Does the one on this video have one or is that just the way it is?

I will have had mine for 1 year this November. Lowe's had a $500 off the Pit Boss 1150 with FREE assembly and FREE delivery. I couldn't pass this up. I guess I used it 5 times after I bought it and in the summer in Houston we had temp over 100deg so the grill stayed wrapped up. Now it is getting cooler I have been cooking on it for 2 days. I can't get the phone app to work. It asks for my grill password. This is step 7 of 8 and for the life of me I don't know the grill password. I put in the name of my grill, the grill ID number and nothing would work. The grill still work manually but I would like again to have it where I could see it on my phone.
One thing I wish the grill had was a 5 minute prime button to load the pellets and a 'run-out' option to turn the burner off and run the pellets out without heating them. Here in Houston we have a lot of humidity so I don't keep pellet's in the arguer tube.
It does have a 5 second prime and a 10 second prime and at the top it has a prime button on the controller but it goes right out after a few seconds.

[zamo_curryfb]

Do you have a video on how to regulate the heat?

[danpost]

Hey I have I think a good question. Can one use pellets for house heating or pellet heater can one use these pellets in a pellet grill for cooking. Heater pellets are a lot cheaper.

[antforehand]

Do you have to have any mods for the 1150 for temperature regulating? I’ve seen some people talking about the temp probe might need a deflector to maintain correct temps.

[bstewguy]

I have a same model in this video and having a issue with the put boss getting to temp. I see a prime hold prime 3 second hold and prime 5 second hold option in settings. Problem is there's no prime button and holding power just shuts the system off. ALSO I have cleaned out the Fire box and noticed it was holding alot of grease. I am reassembling the grill now to see if the grease was the issue

CAN ANYONE tell me how to prime this grills auger? Because if it wasn't the Firebox grease I'm down to take apart the auger for a clog or I need to prime the auger but without a prime button I can't figure out how to

[harrycutler]

I just got a Lexington pit boss smoker
