Pit Boss Pro Series 1600 Unboxing | Pit Boss 1600 Unboxing Assembly and First Look. 

IMHO the two best grills are the 22.5" or 26" Weber Kettle and/or the Masterbuilt Gravity Series Charcoal grill/smoker. This Pit Boss 1600 is going to be good for a smoker but if Tommy does a biscuit test on this grill you will find out you aren't going to be able to grill four to six steaks at once because pellet grills just are not uniform in temp once you dial in anything past 250 degrees. The Masterbuilt can maintain 700 in the dead of winter. I'll wager the Pit Boss might get to 340 tops in the dead of winter. The Weber Kettle can also easily get up to high temps in the winter. It all comes down to what do you cook on the grill. If you're a steak person this pellet grill is not for you. However if you love to smoke brisket, ribs, Pork Butt, chicken, turkey or cold smoke salts cheese and fish this is a good choice. We will have to wait on the griddle review of this grill. If you are going to drop $899 on a grill I definitely would suggest the Masterbuilt 1050 Charcoal Gravity Series. I personally have a 22" Weber, the Masterbuilt 560 Gravity Series and for griddle cooks I have the 36" Blackstone griddle. I almost went with a Pit Boss pellet grill/smoker but went with the Masterbuilt Charcoal Gravity Series.

Just purchased the 1150 and it came with no instructions, thank you for the video, was able to get mine together

Like many of you I've watched a lot of different videos on smoking/grilling. This guy Tommy is the best at it. You can tell how much he loves doing this.

That is NICE, Pit Boss has really come a long way made made some great improvements. I love the versatility of this one, It's really an all in one!! Looking forward to seeing you cook on it!!

Man that was the best presentation of this grill and I truly enjoyed it. Great music in the back ground. Two thumbs up 👍🏾👍🏾

Holy crap, I thought the other pit looked amazing. This blew that one away, love the griddle plate as well! Pit boss nailed this pit with all the details.

I love new pit days

Nice job Tommy, The more I see pit boss lately the more I’m impressed can’t wait to see the next couple cooks very interested in the griddle have yourself a great new year keep the videos coming👍

Looks like pitboss raised their game👍 looking forward to you putting it through the paces👍👍 have a great weekend brother, you all stay safe!👍👊🍻

Great job Tommy and I love the ash clean out!!!! Mine should be here next week and now I can plan for what is inside!!! Thanks for sharing bro!! Have a great weekend!!

Nice video, I just got one today saved me an extra 10% because they dropped my pre-assembled putting it in the back of my truck and the floor model was the only other one they had assembled @ Lowes.

I have to ask…. I went thru many comments (not all) and didn’t see anyone ask… around 7:20ish it shows the fixed wheels on the front and the locking casters in the back… shouldn’t they be fixed on the right and locking on the left?

The way that lid opens is impressive. The ash clean up looks awesome.

Love video, can’t wait for cook! Are casters and wheels on the right side?

Dang Tommy! That's a one Bad Mama Jama !! Awesome 👌 my brother.

Looking at an 1150 or the 1600. Which do you recommend. Live in Canada.

Tommy, a lot of nice features on that Pit Boss! Great job brother!

Can this pellet grill/smoker smoke over 20 hours? My pitboss upright smoker blew up during a 23 hour smoke. I have this pellet grill/ smoker now because I wasn’t willing to give up on pitboss yet.

Congrats on the cooker Tommy! Looking good!

Fine looking grill 👍🏻. PitBoss is really upping their game.

I'm intrigued.!!! I've had my heart set on a Camp Chef Woodwind for about a year, but this?? I don't know but I'm rethinking my options, we'll see how this goes. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. .

Hi Tommy good looking Pit Boss, was wondering if griddle would fit on 1100??? Would love to have that on my pro 1100.

We're putting ours together right now and noticed grease in the ash catcher circular tube thing inside the grill

Tommy I think the two big wheels go on one end but I’m sure you figured that out already!

Can't find the PSI anywhere?

Did you put the wheels wrong? Seen other videos and both poly wheels are on the same side and smaller ones under the pellet box

Have you noticed a significant heat difference on the left side compared to the right ?

THIS THING IS MAKING ME WANT TO TRADE UP FROM THE 100 PRO TO THE 1600 LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT BOTH BIG WHEELS IN THE FRONT INSTEAD OF ON THE END

It sounds like you are going on a date with the 1600

So cleaning the ash doesn't take removale of the grates and the shroud assembly?

So they bring out another new grill in the Pro Series but still haven't bothered to fix the issues with the PID controller on the 1150. From this video, the major difference I see between the 1600 and 1150 is the lid, griddle and another rack. Is that worth the extra $300 in price? I don't need a fancy lid or an extra rack but that griddle is cool. Could you see if that griddle will fit in your 1150?

I have two questions for you. How did you get that 200 lb+ grill up on your deck? I see you have a lot of grills. Are these company test models or do you buy them with your own money?

Dude you would make a good salesman I’m telling you...you make me wants go right now and get one

Great videos! Would it be possible for you to do a video on the Pit Boss Laredo?

Went on line and looked for this...... could not find the Flat Gridle that you show. Does it come with it ?

Nice!, can't wait for more.

I like it what’s the price for it. Just bought the 1150 couple weeks ago wish I knew about this would’ve waited lol

I have the KC combo with a griddle and it is so useful. I need propane for that but man it’s awesome.

I hope you show us how much smoke this thing produces. Kc combo very little smoke 💨 release

Great video but you put your legs on wrong. The stickers inside the leg tells you where that leg goes. The reason I know there are wrong is both casters go on the left side of the grill. Just trying to help.

Looks like i need to upgrad my xl pitboss

Does this have the half moon metal plate near the temperature probe to block the excess heat ? Saw a video on people modifying the 1000 and they say it helps control the heat swings. Also , the past models temperature setting went from 250 to 300 with no 275. Does this address that issue ?

I have the Pit Boss Laredo and the Pit Boss vertical series 3. On the Laredo the left side is hotter than the right and the back hotter than the front. The Laredo has the smoke IT controller and I have experienced no problems with it. I wish they would make one for my series 3. One thing I did today when I did a rack of baby backs is I plugged in one of the Pit Boss probes and put it in the center of the grate. I put one of my Maverick probes in the center of the grate. I set the temp on the controller at 250. The controller went about 20 degrees higher than what the two grate probes did. I was surprised that the Pit Boss grate probe ran very close to the Maverick probe. Usually a 3-5 degree variance. I wouldn't trust the pit sensor. I like my Laredo. Its a great cooker for my apartment patio, and real easy for a 78 year old fart to maintain. I only wish that Pit Boss would put a hopper clean out spout to direct the pellets better in to your bucket when you want to change pellets. The ones on their verticals are even worse as so close to the ground.

What metal is the griddle made of.

The heat assembly tabs on the left side will cause the left side to be hotter than the right. This is a common problem being discussed in the pit boss forum website

Can’t wait to see you cook on it.

Great video Tommy.

Does the griddle fit the 1150??

Omg Tommy that looks awesome...gotta get one!

What are the big differences between the 1050 and the 1600? What is the width, left to right? the1050 looks to be the same size left to right as the 1600. Is that true.

Looks like a great new toy.

Did you mean to install the wheels on wrong ??? Still a great video 👍

I can’t wait Tommy'!!!!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Tommy, I look forward to your videos and respect your opinions. As you cook on your PS1, can you address; (1) Pre-sear and reverse sear results with both the flame zone and griddle? I tend to prefer pre-sear when possible because I think searing burns off the smoke flavor sitting on the meats surface. Additionally, I'm interested in: (2) the amount of pellet ash and pellet dust that blows up into the cooking area and onto the food, and (3) the "strength" of the smoke flavor.

I think you screwed up the wheels there. You have the two big wheels on the side...aren't they supposed to be on the end opposite the pellet hopper?

Looks like a beast Tommy!

Nice looking unit.

Can you do a hot spot test with biscuits or tortillas?

How is it holding up 2024 😁

What's the actually dimension of the lower cooking area

Time to season it at the same time BBQ baby!!!

Any idea when Pit Boss will be shipping to Lowe’s US wide. I’ve been waiting for it to show up at Lowe’s in AZ but nothing yet. And they’re completely sold out of the 1150’s

So what is the difference between 1150 and 1600 ?

Look forward to this vs masterbuilt gravity

when you getting a Wichita Yoder try them out. i love mine.. nice video great job

not sure if i am a fan of the wheels and how they are attached to the unit. why would they put them on like that?

Looks nice. Can't wait to see it in action. Think your big wheels are both supposed to be on the side shelf end.

I didn't know it had a griddle...I would like to see some smash burgers on a Pit Boss.

Effing 32 lb pellet hopper ,hot DAMN that's a long , long cook !! Molly!!!!😋😋 Yes your wife is!!

Dang bro I would have went with a Rec Tec 700... There are so many issues plaguing this smoker

The wheels are wrong?????

If you don’t smoke a 16# minimum brisket first on this thing, you fail. Lol 😂 I expect big meat from you. The bar is high my friend. Don’t let us down. 😉

Cape may sweatshirt I’m there every summer the best place in nj

Something about those wheels doesn't seem right.

Should of bought rec tech

Hey dude... it's actually a 1600 PS1 (Pro Series One...) Got Wood Yet...??? LMAO.

Hey sell me on the griddle.... Bob

Why are you whispering LOL

Why you gotta be weird though

The grill is cool and all but, I’m really interested in hearing about the controller. Is it the same one as the 1150 pro? Did they make any changes to it. 5 degree increments by chance. Will it set on 275? The griddle is a nice feature.

I'm Alone 😍😥
