What is pid
I initially assumed that these units burned propane for the heat. However, it seems I am wrong and would it be correct thinking to assume that they use the burning of the pellets to create the heat, and the pellets are ignited from the hot rod which is 110V AC powered?
Thank you for this video
Also something that wasnt mentioned or i missed was that its Bluetooth capable. So you can be anywhere in your house connect to it via app and mess with all settings
I got this exact smoker for 99$ on clearance at walmart… let me just say. Even at 300$ this thing is great!!! No regrets no issues
I got mine a few years ago and have been very pleased with it's operation.
Bought this for $50 so definitely can’t go wrong, will be testing it out this weekend!
I think if you block half of all those vents in the back it will maintain temperature better
I bought one today for 288, original price is over 300
I googled till my eyes bled, to see if could find anything to tell me if I do a BURN IN with the Flame Tamer OPEN or CLOSED. Found nothing, but, I see yours is closed, so, I'm doing mine closed.
Walmart was selling it for 195 by accident. It’s over $360 now
I need to know how to get in contact with who can tell me what is wrong with my grill. The temp will not stay set at temp I set it at.
My husband got me one for Christmas, and this has helped so much! About to do the burn off. Thank you!
Not sure what PID is but the reason this grill won’t hold the temperature good is because it all escapes from the back ,way to many vents to hold temperatures desired.I covered mine with a piece of sheet metal and put a smoke stack the I can open and close. And it’s alott better it holds temperatures within 5 degrees give or take .
Do you take the deflector off the top of the fire pot to get a good sear? My attempts at searing with it installed were not as good as hoped. Do you know what the purpose of that part is?
Hi Top I know this an old video but I just bought an expert grill commodore myself. I have problems with the temperature on this grill and I now see why ( temp gauge placement on the unit ). I've seen you do some mods on it, ever think about centering the gauge on unit (moving it towards the center)
I gotten big one for 160.
thank you so much! just got our first pellet grill, this is a manual for pellet grill dummy’s! lol. you’re great!
Hey idk if you’ll reply or even see this but I c ant get mine to smoke whatsoever
I was cooking a tri-tip and the temp was jumping all over the place. Couldn't get it to settle on 350 temp. Any advice?
Can you go through the start up. I turned. It on, I set it on 180 and the temp keeps dropping. The prime light is grey and has 2 red lights on, the fan is on, the. Spinning thing is closed and the lid is closed. I just need it to stay 180 consistently. Am I doing something wrong ? Thank you for you time. Jimmy in Florida
Hey Tom can I get a copy or photo of the quick start guide for my guests? I can't find it online, only the owner's manual. Thanks
Thanks for the video Tom! Looking at picking up a unit similar to this. Do you still recommend it? Anything I should watch out for or be aware of? TIA!
I believe I will try to pick one of these up this year when they go on sale. Hope I can get as good a deal as you did!
Cool Tom
I just picked up this grill for 150 bucks at my local Walmart here in Michigan
I'm having an issue getting mine up to temp. 1st time user so it's probably user error. 🤪 an hour and it's only 247 and I want 350.
Can you use pit boss pellets in this?
$195, did you get it on sale? I see it for $317 at my walmart.. i went with the Pitboss Austin XL because they had it in stock and it was $51 more than the Classic 700 pitboss which was out of stock.
I had a 9 year old Chargriller offset i gave to a friend when i moved outta state and i have a Cuisinart vertical propane smoker thats nice. Payed like $170 for it but now living in TN in Fall and Winter they get bought up quick and the exchanges are $25 a pop.. i like my vertical propane and decided to add the pitboss to my arsenal. The older I get the less I wana baby sit my grills.. just assembled mine and did my initial burn in, tomorrow hopefully get some actual food on this thing.
Anyways i was rambling and actually looking for the grill expert pellet reviews since they were about $6 for a 20lb bag. I aint tryin to pay $20 a bag if the expert grill gives good results.
I think it does have a PID controller. So PID stands for Proportianal, Integral, and Derivative. The proportional value just tells it's output how much to correct, like if its under temp it should dump more pellets. The integral value is time-based, i.e if its under the temp, every 5 seconds increase the amount of pellets you are dumping in on top of the P value. Typically the derivative isn't used in these situations because it isn't a super precise process. The P, I, and D are all adjustable, so depending on how they set them at factory, it could use a tuning to get it to adjust better.
Have you looked into the kamado that expert grill makes? I would be curious to see the comparison between the acorn and the expert grill kamado
I think I let some pellets dry out and now my auger won't turn. Do I need to take the grill apart?
Now there up to 297.00
They have the expert atlas smoker grill. 1000 sq in cooking clearance for 199.00 pretty good deal?
That's 468 bucks in Canada
I just bought pellets to do the initial burn with mine today..
Bought this grill and keep getting erp code.
The reason one biscuit is burned is because there is a hole right under the biscuit in the drip pan that's not supposed to be there mines not. Getting direct heat. Video has been altered. Watch closely
I got it two days ago for $150, had to scan it with my phone to see it was that cheap, price on shelf still said $297
Like to see you cook a pork butt.
This is my first pellet grill, and I would appreciate your input on one aspect of it. I found that after three uses, the daisy wheel was seized with crud. I would rather have a solid sheet steel drip pan. With your knowledge of various grills, do you know if a better drip pan from another grill would fit, even if some grinding were required? Thanks!
A month later, is it still a great buy? There is one for sale near me at $220, I'll either try to talk them down or have them deliver
I got mine for even less. It is indeed very feature rich, great bang for the buck.
Have you seen the Cuisinart Bristol at walmart? Any thoughts…
Do I leave fanwheel open or closed for a smoke?
Nice grill. I’m wondering if a water pan would help even out that temperature, as well as a couple of temp gauges drilled into the hood. 👍🏼 thanks for the video.
Expert grills are short term solutions at best……
Since I'm a novice to pellet grilling. This video helps in looking for a possible starter grilling. Thanks!
I had a BBQ and a smoker I will never buy another one .The pellets get Jammed and and destroys the motor .Then they close the warranty department couldn't get it fixed .Never ever buy one again
Seems pretty decent for the price! I paid 700 for my first trager and that was second hand. It retailed at 1300!
I’m a little skeptical of that wheel in the grease pan. I think that could be a pathway for grease getting to the fire.
