What is the best p setting for Pit Boss? ›

The default P-setting is P-4. On this setting, while using the Smoke setting, 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. Raising the P-setting to P-5, P-6, or P-7 increases the pause time for the auger.

With a Pit Boss, you simply adjust your grill to the “smoke” setting, which will have you cooking at the optimal temperature for consistent smoke. To properly smoke on your pellet grill, you don't want to go beyond 250°F.

An HEr means that your grill's temperature exceeded 550°F/287°C, usually due to a grill fire/flare up. When your grill reaches over 550°F, the grill will automatically shut off as a safety precaution, and the controller will display "HEr."

ERL is a generic error it just means Low Temperature. It could mean anything from a bad igniter to an auger feed issue. The most common thing I see is a jammed up auger. In very rare cases it could be a bad board/thermostat.

Poor location: Do not to place your smoker in direct sunlight or in an area with high outdoor temperatures. These conditions can cause the temperature of the smoker to rise higher than desired. Excess wood pellets: Using too many wood pellets in the hopper can cause the smoker's temperature to rise.

Many of our Pit Boss Grills have a Prime Button. If your grill has never been used or has run completely out of pellets, it will need to be Primed to get pellets to the fire pot while the igniter is still hot. - The igniter stays hot for the first five minutes and then shuts itself off.

You should start your Pit Boss Grill on smoke with the lid open for 10 minutes, which will help burn off any additional fuel built up during the startup process.

Blue smoke is considered the ideal smoke color for smoking meat. It results from a clean and efficient combustion process, producing a bluish tint in the smoke. Blue smoke indicates that the wood is burning at the right temperature and that the meat will absorb a mild, delicate flavor without being overwhelming.

What does ErP mean on Pit Boss? ›

To resolve an “ErP” error indicating improper shutdown, turn off the grill, wait for two minutes, and then turn it back on to ensure proper functionality.

This pause cycle, which turns the auger on and off, regulates the pellets flowing into the firepot. Grills have 5 P-Settings: P-1 to P-5, the default setting being P-2. The lower the P-Setting, the shorter the pause; the higher the P-Setting, the longer the pause.

P is for pause. The higher the number, the longer the auger pauses. At P0 it turns on for 18 seconds and then off for 55 seconds. Every 1 higher P adds 15 seconds to the pause time so P2 is 70 seconds P3 is 85 seconds and so on.

This may seem alarming, but seeing smoke coming from the hopper during a cook is indicative of an airflow issue, not the pellets in the hopper ready to catch on fire. Typically, the fan is not blowing enough to create the correct pressure to vacuum out the exhaust, thus allowing smoke to escape from the hopper.
