This is my first time using a pit boss I turned it on to see if it works and I see the igniter rod got a red glow to it just wanted to see if it worked will have to do the burn off one of these days and what temp do you turn it to do that
If you just turned it on for the first time, then you won’t get any smoke or anything because the hopper & auger is empty, to get smoke to start, prime the system. You have to push the prime button to make the auger turn a little bit faster to get pellets down the auger to the burn pot, but if your patient is short, take a half a cup of pellets directly into the burn pot the unit will start to smoke quicker. The pellets in the burn pot will start burning. The auger will continue to feed the burn pot to keep the fire going, just a pro tip…
Buddy gave me his that he disnt use. This thing takes FOREVER to get to temp. Its been sitting at 195 for 15 minutes. I setit for 250. Im tempted to toss it and just go bqck to using my wsm 22 for all cooks. Instead of just the long cooks.
Yes, it gets the pellets burning faster, so you don't get fault codes or you can just drop a fist full of pellets in the burn pot to get started faster...
make sure the unit is level so fire don't burn back into the auger, and / or when done, turn tempt knob back to 150 for five to ten minutes, then shut down
I love mine also. The music chosen for this video is epic!! LOL
Thanks
Just received mine so this will be my first use. I turned it on to smoke and it's not heating up. Any suggestions?

Mine won’t shut off fully after I turn it to off position I can still hear the fan going
The fan keeps running to burn up the pellets in the cup.
that's normal, the fan is going to run for about 15mins to burn all the pellets out of the burn pot, so the pot clear for the next cook...
Is it necessary for priming

Had a hopper fire in mine.
had the exact same thing happen today

Keep your fingers out of the burn pot. The igniter rod gets extremely hot.
Thanks
Love my table top. No trouble with mine.
It's great for cooking steaks
Music is crap.
thanks
Haters is gonna hate! Great informative video!
