I got one of these for my dad as an entry level smoker for Father’s Day special at Walmart. Nice review thanks!

If you know its 15 or 20 degrees cooler than the display, you already fixed it. That's why you did the test. You have to learn every pit.

Thanks for Watching Sam! I think we can do better…..time will tell…..

I think it's interesting that so many of the partsh look like the ones you find in the name brand units. Thanks for the first look Tom. Looking forward to you telling us how it cooks...

Great review! The internals look exactly like my old Traeger Junior!

Thanks for Watching Rob! Interesting….

[@trevor-bd4kt]

I looked up replacement parts for King Chii and almost all are Traeger interchangeable which makes me that much more tempted to buy. Wally has on sale for $256 currently.

I am looking to get a beginner pellet grill and loved your review. I am going to buy this one.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! Enjoy

[@tedz.]

It will be interesting to see if isolating the temperature probe from the direct heat of the burn pot solves the actual/set point discrepancy.
It’s no surprise the parts on these pellet grills are interchangeable. This one looks just like the one from the “T” brand except for the price.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Ted! Agreed!

[@user-lc4bo3ic3g]

Was considering getting one but you are making a strong case for sticking with my weber charcoal grill

$235 gamble. Replacing a 5 year old pb340 that has clipping issue. The height is a concern but think will work. Bigger surface area and 2nd shelf sold me for the cost.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy

[@MrKidQueso]

Great video. Good constructive feedback. I agree that without compromising the function of the temperature reader, maybe it could be bent towards the back 45°
I wonder if it can go to the opposite side of the heat source.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! I don’t think so….

As far as the thermostat goes, if the problem is not accurate…you could slways drill a small hole in the lid and put a thermometer on the lid

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Yes you could

[@12packnight81]

Tom U Da Man! Thanks for all the videos. I think I'm gonna get this little grill too. Is there a way to manually adjust the setpoint of the controller temp input up or down to compensate for the variance? like a potentiometer/rheostat on the circuit board?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Some more advanced controllers do have that option. Not this one

Could you make like an aluminum foil snake and stuff it between the grate and wall front to back to block the excessive heat getting to the probe? Would be easier than trying to relocate the probe.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! You could try that…

[@rd8696]

Pitboss has the same problem and I have seen metal plates that bolt onto the heat diffuser over the burn pot that seal off the heat from going up the drip pan to the temp probe.

@tom I just picked one of these up on Facebook marketplace for 150 bucks putting it to use tonight. Kind of watched your video in a few others how to do it. My brother is a smoker and got his help again I ran into some trouble with the temperature. Think it was what you’re saying about the probe did you make a video on how you fixed that issue, if so, could you please let me know and what was the site I could find replacement parts for this item

I have a Country Smokers pellet grill, which I believe is the same design as the Asmoke and PitBoss. Can you tell me the size difference in the grilling area? Mine is locked away in storage at the moment.

[@MarkH920]

Nice overview Tom. Question, do you notice a big difference in flavor from the B&B hickory lump vs the oak? I love the oak lump and briquettes but my Ace does not carry the hickory. I might have them order me a bag to try out if so. I just had them order me some char logs and have yet to test those out

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Mark! I do like the Hickory, try a bag and you’ll be able to see if you can taste the difference

[@user-hs5yl1fn7z]

Been digging and cannot find an answer maybe you can help? I bought the King Chii KPG-341 only complaint it only has the one rack for cooking and a second top rack be added?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! You’d need to find the rack first, if you can find one that will fit then yes

[@Jason315NY]

Is there anyway to hook up a grate clip and extend the thermometer to the center, or where you want it for that matter??….maybe a diff thermometer could plug in the controller somehow to be relocated… if you do this n find out let’s us know
