LMAO @ the ending hahaha! Looks like a solid well built pellet pooper Ricer! I don't worry to much about how long it takes to shut down, because I'm done and eating by that time haha! Cheers brother!
Hahahhaaha I agree Rus, I just let it shut off by itself!! OK Joe certainly did some nice upgrades from the OG DLX and I am happy to see that this pit smokes more than the OG also!!! Like always brother thanks for watching!!!
BTW thanks for the video on the burnoff. I did the burnoff to clear it of junk but didnt spray it down with oil to season it like a cast iron pan. I'll be doing that tomorrow.
Heck ya! I have been updating my studio the past few weeks. All stuff behind the scenes but it will help me out in a huge way!!! New electrical service, natural gas line, WiFi, AC, and a new exhaust hood!!!!!!!!!! Trying to be able to have this place 100% climate controlled and cook with the doors closed!!! Next I got a 200k btu warehouse furnace we are installing for the winter months!!!!! hahaha Thanks for watching!!!
Hahahahaha thanks for watching Kent!!! Ya I had to put that in the video "classic Ricer" hahahaha Thanks for watching brother!!!! I hope all is good down yonder!!!
Heck ya Eric! The 1200 certainly is a step in the right direction!!! You will see it when you come over during the car show!!! Like always thanks for watching bro and see you soon!!!!!
Heck ya brother!!! These new cameras certainly record nice but there is other issues I have to tend with once you go up a notch in quality!!! Thanks for watching brother!!!!!!!
Nice review as always Ricer. Being an old stick burner/charcoal guy, I still haven't pulled the trigger on a pellet cooker, but I'll be sure to give OJ a look if I ever do buy one. BTW, I hope you have not given up on your Tavern Talk channel. I always enjoyed those live chats. I don't follow any other social media so it's UA-cam or NoTube. Later my man.
I am getting closer to going live once in a while Papa! I got wifi in the studio now but the next month is crazy busy right now!!! Hoping to go live next week with Rus in the studio but we will see!!! Like always thank you for all your support brother!
Nice informative video as always Ricer!! I've used your burn off steps with all my pits and my paint has stayed perfect. It certainly does pay to do that gradual cure.👍
Heck ya Mark! It is not fool proof though because if they guy painting it was sloppy it could still peel but your odds are much better starting it off low! Thanks for watching brother!!
Heck ya Jeff!!! This pit is war ready for sure!!!! With the updates to the 1200 I think it is much more reliable that then previous model even if I was always happy with the OG War Machine! Like always thanks for all your support brother!
Nice burn off and review on the features Ricer! I suppose if you live where it's humid, emptying the hopper and allowing time to burn off the pellets in the auger would be nice. But..... I live where it's dryer than a popcorn fart!🤣 So that would be a bit annoying. 😁👍👊🍻
I agree Kevin!!! It is perfect for the humid areas!!! It does start up quickly and you can always walk away during the shutdown process but the auger stronger so I wish they would have rolled the dice to see if it could push through so you didn't have to burn off extra pellets every time you ran it but they certainly added some nice new features to the 1200! Thanks for watching brother!
I just bought one of these while Oklahoma Joe's was running a massive sale. I'm honestly very disappointed so far. There is a massive glitch in the control panel that is causing the grill to stall out when I set the temperature to 350. 300 is fine. 325 is fine. As soon as I set 350, the grill stalls and equalizes at 270. If I set 400, it still hovers at 270. 325 to 350 is the transition from smoke mode to sear mode, and it seems like the programmed logic for this transition is broken.
Nice video. Had two of the old DLX and now this newer version. The improvements are really nice. As far as pellet grills go, these offer unmatched searing ability & area (easily & quickly gets the center round up to 800/900 if you really dial it up). In general, just gotta take into account the center round heat transfers straight upwards, so offsetting that with a water pan and using the racks to cook on is ideal. A good trick for cleaning ash, after dumping the pot, is using air compressor air gun nozzle to shoot up from the ash can below, blows the ash out of fire pot. Over 40 cooks and literally that's all I've done, barely looks used inside, ZERO grease anywhere and have have done many pork butts, fatty chuck roasts, ribs and burgers in her. Most maintenance free pellet grill I've owned to date (and I've had ALOT), literally cooks itself clean. Grilling burgers is amazing, I smoke them on Lo for an hour, on rack on sides, then dial up to 450, which gives 650 grate temp, couple minutes on each side with lid open (it keeps up high temp easily even with lid open!), excellent. You also get awesomely controlled flame flare ups when you mash them a bit, its quite fun to grill burgers on etc! Gets up to temp much quicker than the older ones too. Shut-down burn off seems to only be about 15 for mine, but haven't really timed it yet, as I'm usually inside eating the fixins.
Well done sir. I have no idea how many times I have said this but when it comes to pellet cookers I still don't have a dog in that race. With that said you're doing a great job reviewing them. To date theirs only one I would truly consider and that's the Lonstargrillz unit. But not today buddy, not today. Stay cool and hydrated Sir. 😎 🔥👍🍻
Ya bro someday I hope you get the LSG pellet just so you got a little more free time. I do a lot of pellet grill videos because companies like how I do those types of videos so for now it is in my wheelhouse! Wait til you see what I have been doing the past few weeks behind the scenes to my studio!! I will certainly be able to stay cool moving forward!!!! Like always brother, thanks for watching and I appreciate you leaving me all these great comments!!!! Talk soon Victor!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I'm looking forward to finally doing a video in a month or two on the large Lonstargrillz IVS. Talk about set it and forget it. But the get it up to temp time is about one hour safely. No getting around any vertical smoker being slow to temp. If you overshoot the temp it's hell getting it back down. That's where I think a pellet can have a advantage. But I'm looking forward to showing off the IVS eventually. 12 to 16 briskets at one time depending on the size of the briskets. Hey maybe next year we get you and a guest out here for some salmon fishing and we play with the IVS, I'm sure that would put a smile on Criss's face. Later.👍🔥😁🎣🐟🍻
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I will add or suggest when you do order one get the medium or small ( having troubles remembering what they call those two) not the large unless you're planning on doing catering. At 1,200 lbs it's just to big for the backyard cooks. But brother I do love it. The dog can't brush up against it and get the you know what burnt out of it ( the smell of burnt dog hair takes days to get out of the nose) . And who cares if it's -20°f outside ( you're winter's, not mine) she just keeps chugging along. I haven't put it to the test but Criss says at 225°f with the firebox filled with 2 20lb bags of briquettes she should burn without interruption for 30 to 35 hours. As our Canadian brothers to the north would say " she's a beaut ehh". OK, enjoy some beers 🍻, catch you later 😀.
Oh, FYI I have been referring folks who are considering getting a pellet cooker or are looking for something different then their late model Traeger. I think it's a good idea to help folks who like pellet cooking to better understand the limits and advantages of the pellet cookers. How adding a water pan will not only will help keep meats from drying out but help keep a more consistent temperature in the cook chamber. The more mass the better the heat retention. The more you mentione this perhaps the better they will be designed with more steel. I love the fact that Lonstargrillz is using serious amounts of steel. True they will be heaver but better. It would be great if someone would build in a large water pan that can be easily drained. Oh hell I'm rambling on again. Later.
I have the older dlx and watching this makes me want the new and improved one. Plus with mine it likes to trip the gfi if i crank the heat up to do a cleaning burn from the long low slow heat cooks. Minor tick but gets annoying.
I've been researching pellet grills, and been shopping around for one. Your videos are awesome and so full of information. Of all the pellet grills you've covered, which one is the best one overall? Which one would you pick if you had to choose one? I've been eyeing out that pit boss 1600 elite. But there's so many pellet grills out there....I can't choose
If I could only have one pellet grill it would be the Lone Star Grillz. If I bought one from a box store hands down it would be the Elite! It is reasonably priced and has some great features!! Very happy with it so far!!! Thanks for watching El Jefe!!!
Would love to see a comparison between the Rider DLX 1200 VS THE PIT BOSS ULTRA MEGA ELITE !! Special attention to the SEARING stations. The Elites looks a little small area wise. And total cleanup comparison now that the DLX has been improved. I owned the original DLX but my panel went out and is back ordered. So thinking about just replacing the entire pit. So I'm on the fence. HELP!!! AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!
Hi Ron!! Sorry to hear about your DLX bro!!! Ok so to be honest the 1200 just went to a person in need for a new pellet grill so I will not be doing any comparison video with those 2 pits. I tried to film one but he was desperate and I just didn't have time to do a video. But here is my opinion. Buy the Elite. The controller is 3 times better and it does have WiFi which does come in handy at times. The sear zone is smaller but it does a better job smoking than the DLX does IMO. My 1200 was off on the temps more than the Elite and still had some pretty big temp spikes at times too. Now 1200 is better than the OG DLX but the Elite is truly more reliable to run. Plus the new dump out the pellets and wait 30 minutes for the 1200 to shut off is a pain in the rear at times!!!! I hope this helps but if all you are truly looking for is a pellet grill that grills then the DLX is still a better option. Thanks for watching my video brother!!!!
I am thinking about following the trend and chop off my Donger. hahahah you will see what I have been up to the past couple weeks. Getting there but the studio is really shaping up! Thanks for watching brother!!!
Like all my other pellet grills, I use mine daily so the shut down bothered me. I formed a habit of doing a long 300 degree burn off after long greasey cooks anyways. The last two months I've been just using the power button to shut the machine off. It shuts off instantly and I open the sear to let the remaining pellets burn off. Haven't had any I'll effects from it yet, but will report back if I do.
Hahahahah well I got pits everywhere right now, but my neighbors are nice enough to store a few of them!!! hahaha I got a couple reviews coming but after that we can get some cooking videos done again! Been a very bust June and I had to shut down the Studio for a few weeks while it was getting some behind the scenes upgrades! Thanks for watching!!!
Thanks Ricer! I've been waiting for this one. You mention you used Pam spray (not sure if you said 'Pam" as a generic term) but what kind of oil was that?
Canola oil Daniel. YA I thought I grabbed a can of Pam!!!!! hahaha I do so many burn offs I got spray cans all over the studio!!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother!!
I have a Rider DLX 900. It has pretty much everything the 1200 has just smaller. Ive been watching some videos and people are smoking at 185 degrees. The controls on the DLX only go down to 200 i think and then they have LOW. How do i get down to 185 for a slow overnight cook? Is there a video on the DLX control panel? I could really use the instruction. Thanks in advance.
Gday Ricer, "Heath" from Australia mate. Unfortunately this model isn't available over here yet, it looks great so hopefully soon. The augher jamb issue is the only thing stopping me from buying the previous model.
My favorite bass player played bass, keyboards, acoustic guitar, and sang. And it wasn't just a flunky open E all song. It was lead bass. Melodies. Who kept time? They didn't need one instrument to keep time. They simply knew.
That looks like a hell of a pit. Looking forward to seeing you do some cooks on it. Just don't start painting your face and wearing heals and a wig, I'd have to start worrying about you Mr War Machine LOL
Hahahahaa I might make Uncle Dickie dibs though if I go all demond style!!!!!! hahahahaha Like always Troy thank you for all your support and I appreciate you watching!!!!
Hey Ricer, love your channel! Wanted to get your opinion about a more obscure brand of pellet grill. Kando Gear caught my attention and looks comparable to your Lonestar Grillz pellet grill in price and quality from what I can tell, but I would be very interested in your opinion and review if possible.
First thanks for watching Craig! I have seen the Kando Gear pellet grills but not in person. They look nice and they do have the Fireboard controller. Not as big as the LSG and not as thick of steel as the LSG either. But it is American made and that is nice! If they wanted to send me one I certainly would review it but they have never reached out to me. Maybe someday?!?!?!? So sorry I am not much of a help to you on this one but again I appreciate you watching my video! Have a great 4th!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Hey Ricer, just wondering if you have any recommendations for cleaning and maintenance to help maximize the life of your pellet grill? I spent big for the Kando Gear grill and want to make sure I take care of it right from the beginning. I’m wondering if I should be reapplying the cooking oil like you do for the burn in at some interval like annually or something. Also curious if it would be beneficial to pull my firepot out and wash it off at some interval since the Kando firepot has tool-less removal. Sorry for the specific questions, thanks in advance for any advice!
The heat shield on my Pit Boss gets nasty. I normally cover it with foil unless I need the flames for searing. How do you go about doing something like that on this grill?
Looking at buying a grill this weekend. I’m between the ok j dlx 900 gen 2 my local store has it on sale for 599. Or the pit boss pro 1150 at 699. What would you personally go with?
There are 2 ambient temp probes in the Gen 2. 1 on the side like most pits. The other is right behind the sear zone so it can read an actual temp that instead of making a fake average. Seems to be close but mine runs about 25 degrees hotter so I just set the temp lower one click! Thanks for watching!
No other than just turn it off without any cool down. I do not mind dumping the pellets but it adds a little time to the start up process. Plus this is the only pit that you have to dump them out on that I have ran so far. Sorry for the late reply Kevin----been a busy month for me!!
I prefer to run fat cap up! It is juicer and even more tender IMO but still has plenty of smoke ring to give it that nice added red color!!! Thanks for watching!
So I have to ask would you go with the OK Joe 900 for $399 or the Pit Boss Pro Series 850 for $599. Keep going back and forth. Really just starting out smoking. I don’t care about the extra $200 bucks if it’s worth it. Appreciate any advice thanks. Love be the channel.
@@DeadBrokeBBQ thank you for the response. Yeah I ended up going with the Pit Boss 850 and it’s been awesome so far. I’m definitely loving it. Lol. Thanks again man.
I don't see that much improvement to raise the price as much as they did..I like mine big time..but zero way I could afford the newer model..thanks at 3:13 in the morning..
Ya not leaps and bounds on the upgrades but certainly a couple good ones! I like the baffles being able to be removed and the the 2 temp probes to hopefully help the PID controller to run better than the older analog controller on the OG War Machine! Man you are a night owl brother!!!!! hahaha Like always thanks for watching!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ all “ was” until I saw your vid brother, now everything is going down hill😂 I can’t unsee that ROLMFAO OR what ever the kids say these days¿¿??🤣💯👍🔥
YA I was a little surprised but my guess the next version certainly will have one so they keep up with the other pellet grill companies!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Heck ya Bobbi and I am glad I was able to teach you something!!! On this pit is very important to do it slow!!! This is just plain paint and they love to peel away but at least with plain paint you can always touch it up compared to powder coated pits, those are almost impossible to fix! Like always thank you for all your support!!!!

Enjoy that new pit!!!
BTW thanks for the video on the burnoff. I did the burnoff to clear it of junk but didnt spray it down with oil to season it like a cast iron pan. I'll be doing that tomorrow.
Nice to see you back.

New electrical service, natural gas line, WiFi, AC, and a new exhaust hood!!!!!!!!!! Trying to be able to have this place 100% climate controlled and cook with the doors closed!!!

Kando Gear caught my attention and looks comparable to your Lonestar Grillz pellet grill in price and quality from what I can tell, but I would be very interested in your opinion and review if possible.
First thanks for watching Craig! I have seen the Kando Gear pellet grills but not in person. They look nice and they do have the Fireboard controller. Not as big as the LSG and not as thick of steel as the LSG either. But it is American made and that is nice! If they wanted to send me one I certainly would review it but they have never reached out to me. Maybe someday?!?!?!?
So sorry I am not much of a help to you on this one but again I appreciate you watching my video! Have a great 4th!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Ricer, thanks for your quick reply! Happy fourth to you and your family as well!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ I have their “Rival” model coming in about 4 weeks if your down to come to Arizona! Lol
@@biggyman13 I ordered their Rival too! Mine should be coming next week! Super excited about it! Hope you enjoy yours man!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ Hey Ricer, just wondering if you have any recommendations for cleaning and maintenance to help maximize the life of your pellet grill? I spent big for the Kando Gear grill and want to make sure I take care of it right from the beginning. I’m wondering if I should be reapplying the cooking oil like you do for the burn in at some interval like annually or something. Also curious if it would be beneficial to pull my firepot out and wash it off at some interval since the Kando firepot has tool-less removal. Sorry for the specific questions, thanks in advance for any advice!
The heat shield on my Pit Boss gets nasty. I normally cover it with foil unless I need the flames for searing. How do you go about doing something like that on this grill?
You don't----you just burn it off and scrape it up. Thanks for watching!!
Looking at buying a grill this weekend. I’m between the ok j dlx 900 gen 2 my local store has it on sale for 599. Or the pit boss pro 1150 at 699. What would you personally go with?
I like the 1150 a little more just because it is a tad bigger! Thanks for watching!
If you turn the knob the other way it starts at Low so you don't have to go through the other temps to get there just a FYI.
Thanks for the tip Chris!!!!!! Good to know!!!
Could u explain the 2 temps and where there both reading from
There are 2 ambient temp probes in the Gen 2. 1 on the side like most pits. The other is right behind the sear zone so it can read an actual temp that instead of making a fake average. Seems to be close but mine runs about 25 degrees hotter so I just set the temp lower one click! Thanks for watching!
Is there any way around the draining of the pellets?
No other than just turn it off without any cool down. I do not mind dumping the pellets but it adds a little time to the start up process. Plus this is the only pit that you have to dump them out on that I have ran so far. Sorry for the late reply Kevin----been a busy month for me!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ saw the meet up take place on Facebook, looks like an awesome time! Glad you are such a rock for the bbq community 👍👊👊
Pulled pork/Pork Butt fat cap up or fat cap down? Which do you prefer?
I prefer to run fat cap up! It is juicer and even more tender IMO but still has plenty of smoke ring to give it that nice added red color!!! Thanks for watching!
So I have to ask would you go with the OK Joe 900 for $399 or the Pit Boss Pro Series 850 for $599. Keep going back and forth. Really just starting out smoking. I don’t care about the extra $200 bucks if it’s worth it. Appreciate any advice thanks. Love be the channel.
Personally I would pick the Pit Boss but the old OK Joe 1200 was a good pit but not sure about the 900!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ thank you for the response. Yeah I ended up going with the Pit Boss 850 and it’s been awesome so far. I’m definitely loving it. Lol. Thanks again man.
Im sure they will sell at least ten of those
Do you know if I can upgrade my controller to the one on the new DLX?
I don't think you can. Because of the 2 temp probe system. Thanks for watching!!!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ hell I'll install another one. I'll write them and ask.
Heck ya and make sure you let us know if it works!!!!! I will pin your comment!!!!!
Well they said no, so now the decision to buy a new one and try to sell this one or not begins...LOL
@@merlealbright4525 Ya I figured that the controller swap wouldn't work.
Does it come with a cover
No it does not! Thanks for watching!
I don't see that much improvement to raise the price as much as they did..I like mine big time..but zero way I could afford the newer model..thanks at 3:13 in the morning..
Ya not leaps and bounds on the upgrades but certainly a couple good ones! I like the baffles being able to be removed and the the 2 temp probes to hopefully help the PID controller to run better than the older analog controller on the OG War Machine! Man you are a night owl brother!!!!! hahaha Like always thanks for watching!!!
First?
22wo-st!! hahaha
I think so?!??!?! hahaha
Stop dancing bro it doesn’t work for you🤨
Nobody wants to see that 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video brother 💯👍
Hahhahahaa I am trying JJ!!!!!! hahahahaha Thanks for watching bro and I hope all is good!
@@DeadBrokeBBQ all “ was” until I saw your vid brother, now everything is going down hill😂
I can’t unsee that ROLMFAO OR what ever the kids say these days¿¿??🤣💯👍🔥
I can't believe they didn't put wifi on this thing. 🤦♂️
YA I was a little surprised but my guess the next version certainly will have one so they keep up with the other pellet grill companies!!! Thanks for watching!!!
What a pain in the ass.
I would not know the importance of baking the paint if it weren't for you😊
Heck ya Bobbi and I am glad I was able to teach you something!!! On this pit is very important to do it slow!!! This is just plain paint and they love to peel away but at least with plain paint you can always touch it up compared to powder coated pits, those are almost impossible to fix! Like always thank you for all your support!!!!
