I’ve had my 1250 pit boss for almost two months now and it’s my first one. Here’s my experience. Follow the directions closely, especially on shut down. I find that if you have temperature very high it’s best to lower the temperature to around 250 and when it reaches that point put it in shut down mode and you won’t have to worry about back burn. These have a hot spot because of the searing grade. If you cover that area with water trays and cook on the second rack the hot spot is cut down tremendously. Over all I’m very happy with it. It takes some learning but that’s half the fun. My only complaint is the hopper gets dead spots where the pellets won’t fall down and you have to poke it ever few hours to get the pellets to fall. This could be a big factor for an over night cook. I plan to reach out to pit boss because mine came with from what I can tell the old style hoper not the one displayed in the store. If I get this replaced and it solves the issue I will report back.

Lexington Upgrade

I’ve had the Lexington for a couple months. The grill has been excellent. Everything I’ve cooked on it has been delicious. Decided I liked the idea of being connected so i ordered the connected upgrade. Got the connected controller last week but today was the first chance to install it. My hands were too big to get to the top so i ended up just taking the hopper off the grill, in five minutes installed. Powered up. Nothing. Wouldn’t connect to phone. Called tech support and he was very helpful. Emailed me a troubleshooting guide. Unfortunately they didnt help. Decided to try deleting the App and reinstalling. Bluetooth and wifi picked it up immediately. Put the grill through several paced, temp up, temp down, timer, etc. walked around the yard, across the street , throughout the house. Worked like a charm. I’m so impressed with this little smoker, the only thing is as i get used to using it i want to use it for everything and it’s a bit small so yesterday my wife bought me a Savannah Onyx for my birthday. Just burned it in and haven’t had an opportunity to use it yet. I’m sure it’ll be just as good as the Lexington. Now i have two pit boss, the Lexington for when it’s just the wife and I and the Savannah when the kids and grandkids and friends are over.

I’m a hobby smoker. I have really enjoyed the pellet grill itself, but this app leaves a lot to be desired. First, the fact that the app will randomly disconnect mid smoke, so I have a sessions started that is only 10 minutes, then a 12 hr session, then a 2 hr session, but all for the same smoke so I can’t accurately gather the data for the session is bizarre. But what really got me is today. I spatchcock and smoke two turkeys for thanksgiving. Doing this on the pellet grill results in insanely juicy turkeys and frees my stove for other items. It makes the day so much easier. Today I fire up the grill, load the turkeys, and go to open my app to watch the temps and set alarms. But first I have to sing in… and server error. Then I try again. Server error. I can’t access anything because I can’t sign in. I force close and try again… indefinite loading. Another time.. server error. So I have guests showing up in two hours and can’t use my smoker app to keep an eye on my turkeys. What really annoys me about this is that I am a software engineer. I have literally architected local/online hybrid systems and know what it takes. Allowing local grill access without login is a no brainer.Have I used the app? Yes, extensively over my two years of ownership. What do I think? Meh. I’m on the cusp of hacking a version that does what I need because this app is too frustrating.

I have never had help with anything much less… light the charcoal, spread the coals, add the meat, turn the meat, check on the meat, take up the meat, while I am preparing other items. I finally saved enough of my money and bought this pit boss. And OMG, it is like magic!!!! It’s easy to start, temp is controlled by my phone, tells me when it’s time to cook, it tells me when it’s time to turn, it tells me when it’s ready, I don’t have to check on the food at all!!! It’s like having an invisible chef at the grill. I’m so in love with this purchase. Thank you!!!! I could sell these easy. I used to be hr mgr at lowes from the time our 5 new stores opened in our district. In 2003. It was the best, had the best employees, salesmen and women. New CEO emanated all of HR. In this era I couldn’t find anyone to try and sell me on this purchase. It should be an easy top seller. EASY!! I trained associates on selling and it was so exciting. Sorry to rant but if I was acknowledged or interacted with someone on this grill I would have purchased before spending time researching the grills on my own and trips to the store. Again it’s like Magic!!!
