When the Temperature Dial is set on SMOKE or HIGH, the Auger turns on, delivers fuel for 18 seconds, then
turns off. The Off-Time is set by or adjusted by the SMOKE CONTROL PUSH BUTTON, which displays a “P”
setting. When the Smoke Control Button is pushed, the corresponding “P” setting is displayed on the LCD
screen momentarily. There are 8 “P” settings, ranging from P0 to P7.
This aids in fine tuning your Pit Boss Pellet Grill, to your desired needs. If you like to Hot Smoke and like more
smoke flavor, then you can adjust the “P” setting, while in the SMOKE MODE, upward to give you a longer
time between auger feeds. This results in a lower temperature output, which increases your cooking time,
which results in a deeper “Smoke Ring” and more flavor.
If you like to GRILL or SEAR, then you can adjust the “P” setting, while in the HIGH setting, downward, to give
you a shorter time between auger feeds. This results in a Higher temperature output, higher pellet
consumption, but allows you to get those “Steak House Sear” marks, and quicker cooking times.
UNDERSTANDING THE “P” SETTING
NOTE: Factory Default Setting is “P 4”
INCREASING the “P” setting DECREASES the Fuel Feed Rate, (heat output). This will result in LOWER grill
output temperatures, lower pellet consumptions thus resulting in more smoke flavor. Care must be taken not
to increase the “P” setting to high, which could result in the fire going out.
DECREASING the “P” setting INCREASES the Fuel Feed Rate, (heat output). This will result in HIGHER grill
temperature output, higher pellet consumption thus higher grilling temperature. Care must be taken not to
decrease the “P” setting to low, which will result in overfeeding the pellets and the production of Creosote or
incomplete combustion.
‘P’ Setting Auger On Auger Off
P0 18 seconds 55 seconds
P1 18 70
P2 18 85
P3 18 100
P4 18 115
P5 18 130
P6 18 140
P7 18 150
The main benefit to the P SETTING Control Button is that it allows you, the Pit Master, to fine tune your Pit
Boss Pellet Grill to compensate for ambient temperatures, humidity, wind, environmental changes, pellet fuel
type and quality. This ensures a World Championship Result, everytime.
