Cooking In Smoke Mode - Pit Boss SAVANNAH PB1500NX Manual

Turning the Controller Knob to the SMOKE (S) setting (commonly referred to as Smoke Mode) allows the user to directly

control the cycle rate of pellets that feed the burn pot. By controlling the feed cycle, the user can infuse more smoke flavor

into their foods at a low cooking temperature. Smoke Mode is also useful when cooking at low temperatures when the

unit is highly affected by the ambient outdoor weather. Since extreme weather conditions can affect the internal cooking

temperature of the grill, learning to use the "P" setting value based on your geographical location is advantageous.

IMPORTANT: Do not push the "P" SET button too hard, as this may cause damage. Only a light push is needed.

The default P-setting value is P-4. On this setting, such as the start-up cycle, the grill will feed pellets for 18 seconds and

pause for 115 seconds. In most instances, you will want to keep the P-setting on the default.

Follow the P-setting chart below:

AUGER CYCLE RATE

"P" SET VALUE

Raising the P-setting to P-5, P-6, or P-7 increases the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn pot. A

higher P-setting is used in warmer or hot environments that want to hot smoke but the ambient outdoor temperature

would amplify the cooking temperature inside the grill.

Note: Monitor your burn pot closely, as raising the P-setting too high or too quickly may cause the fire to die

out completely.

Lowering the P-setting to P-3, P-2, P-1, or P-0 will decrease the pause time between each feeding of pellets to the burn

pot. A lower P-setting is used to compensate for cooler temperatures where the ambient outdoor temperature will re-

duce or weaken the intensity of heat produced inside the grill. Lowering the P-setting can also minimize temperature

swings in varying outdoor weather conditions.
