Absolutely LOVE your idea of magnetic hooks for your spare shelf. Wil definitely purchase them!

@thisgrilllife7447 Месяц назад

William!! Such an easy but necessary mod. A friend brought the new pit boss 1150 and the second rack was too heavy for the magnets to hold up. We drilled two holes and installed bolts with nuts.

Second E-777-s sentiments. Local box has this on clearance for under $300. You addressed my biggest hangups..Wifi, heat control and smoke loss. Sold me, hopefully they'll be one left in the morning. Great walk thru.

Could you elaborate on the "Better temps" with the replacement WiFi unit? All the reviews I read say they are the exact same controller, but with WiFi.

@edmc755 3 года назад

I bought a Sportmans 820 , love the pit, i just added a knob handle on the right side on the lid. When you have the pit at about 400 degrees the long handle gets alittle hot when you put your hand over lid to close it 👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@alecandro1958 7 месяцев назад

I've had my pit boss for about a year and a half, it was my first smoker. Now that I've really put some use into it I've noticed the temp issues in the barrel. I cut the curved side from that ash pan to use as a heat deflector for the curved plate, saved some $. Also bought a heavy duty heat deflector for the fire pot and bent in the bottom of the sides for a better fit. Those two mods have improved performance but I'm definitely going to use some of the things I learned from this video as well to really dial in my cooking! The handles on the right to avoid moving the plates are GENIUS.

@thisgrilllife7447 7 месяцев назад

My pit boss Austin XL was my first smoker also. I’ve been really happy with it. The newer models have a lot of the modifications as standard equipment. For me, having done the modifications myself has been very satisfying. I really appreciate your feedback!! If you’re on Twitter (X) you should checkout @thisgrilllife. It’s an awesome BBQ Community. Happy Thanksgiving!!

@bryandamkaer3646 2 года назад

Instead of cutting the center out of the pellet grate, I purchased machine screws and nuts to fit the mounting screw openings. The screws are I believe 1 inch long and support the grate from falling in pellet hopper. I used 2 nuts on each screw to keep it tight. Works great for when you need access and still have proper 'safety' when in use. I am also in the process of using a similar method for the top grill storage on the back. Less expensive and more readily available. I tried the magnet thing but they kept sliding down when I put the grill on the hooks. Front shelf ordered... excellent idea.

Only suggestion, cut the barrel in the center to section it. So you can simply remove the middle grate, slide over the diffuser, then lift the section of barrel, or hinge it, to vacuum out the ash pot.

During the day, I can’t read my control box. What could be done there? Love your modifications! Great help.

@thisgrilllife7447 3 года назад

William, thank you so much for your comments. I know what you mean about the display being hard to read in the sunlight. The only thing I can think of would be to create a shade for the display. Let me know if you come up with something to solve this problem. If you are on Twitter, checkout @thisgrlllife. A lot of great people and so many great grilling ideas!

the shelf on the front of your grill needs sides around the edge to keep your platter of meat from sliding off and making you have a bad day, I have an Austin pit boss and I might add some of your mods to my grill you done a good job with the mods

That heat diffuser might work for my issue. After running the grill at 450/500 degrees the front and back of my cook drum is starting to rust. What I realized is the factory curved diffuser is causing extreme heat at the middle front and back of the grill. It got so hot it burned the coating off and is now causing rust pretty badly. I considered adding a spacer plate to take the heat and punishment of high temp cooks but that diffuser at the pot might do the trick. I hope future models have thicker walls or a spacer/diffuser system. I still love my Austin XL though.

Gabe, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. One thing I might caution you about is that I’m finding the heat defusing plate over the fire pot needs to be opened at higher temperatures. When the temperature setting is high the flames are trapped in the pot and will ignite the pellets in the auger. I had smoke coming out of the hopper. I don’t grill at higher temps often so it hasn’t been a problem. I open the diffuser at 400° and above

Where can I get the flame diffuser? The like does not bring anything up. Great video!!

@thisgrilllife7447 4 месяца назад

Christopher, this diffuser comes and goes on eBay. There are others but don’t have the ability to attach a rod. I check to see if it’s available from time to time and try to let everyone that’s asked know.

Since the griddle doesn't really rely on the center grate, you could just remove it when you open the sear plate and use the griddle.

@thisgrilllife7447 2 года назад

You are absolutely correct. Someone else pointed that out to me. It didn’t occur to me!🤷🏻‍♂️

@TheRealJonsMind 2 года назад

Great information! The gaskets, was one packet enough?

@thisgrilllife7447 2 года назад

Jonathan!! Thank you for your feedback. Yes one package of the gasket was enough. With some leftover

Cloakman covers are made out of thicker material than others. I love mine

@thisgrilllife7447 Год назад

I agree. Mine is 3 years old now. I’m getting ready to replace it. Getting 3 years out of a cover here in Arizona is incredible

@@thisgrilllife7447 I've had mine for around 3 or 4 years and I'm in central Texas. It's faded but doesn't have any holes in it. I bought a different brand for my other one and had it going on 2 yrs and it's already ripped. But both of mine are on our deck with a metal roof.

@rdonner28 3 года назад

Definitely appreciated! You have really done an awesome job of tweaking this grill into the perfect machine!!! That round plate screw on item is no longer available from the eBay seller but im getting everything else! I have done the sear sliding plate and front shelf but im definitely gonna borrow some of your tips and tricks!!! Hey does that WIFI controller allow you to leave home and control the unit? Is there an App for the new wifi system? Also how fast does the WIFI controller work vs the original analog controller? I heard the WIFI is a little slower???? Thanks so much for sharing!

@thisgrilllife7447 3 года назад

Glad you found the video useful. I didn’t know the heat diffuser plate is not available. Iwoud keep checking back on it. The WiFi is definitely a little slower but I think is more accurate.

@thisgrilllife7447 3 года назад

The app is called Smoke IT. It’s available for Android or IOS

@This Grill Life SIR!!!! You have given me a BRAND NEW GRILL!!!! I HAVE DONE the sliding heat diffuser but I did do that Swinging heat diffuser with the ears keeping my grill REALLY STEADY NOW!!! Can't say thank you enough for sharing this information!!!Im still gonna do the rest going fwd.

Hello sir, great video. Where did you get the magnets for holding the top rack? Any link possibly? Thank you.
