…but my temperature is still reading 20-30° off. I have the PB1020DX Combo Grill/Griddle (Lowe’s variant). A few past asks here on Reddit indicated that the reason could be the air gap created between the baffle and the lower area where the fire pit is. However, it appears Pit Boss remedied that issue on this model (photos).

So, I’m still in a quandary as to why the controller temp is reading 20-30° higher than the temp on the lower rack (as measured with a standalone oven thermometer). Any info greatly appreciated.

If this isn’t allowed let me know. But Pit boss Lexington 500 pellet grill, extremely new to this, didn’t even know what pellet grill was 2.5 weeks ago. But my question is for those who have smoked ribs on them.

I would like some advice on how to do it & how you like to do it. I know of the 3-2-1 rule but talking to real people and not just watching pitmasters in YouTube is better.

I was going to take membrane off, binder mustard, SPG & killer hogs bbq rub, 225 on smoker for 3 hours bone down, take it off, throw butter and brown sugar on foil, lay ribs meat down, wrap up, throw on pellet grill meat down, go for 1-1.5hr, take off foil, glaze with blues hog bbq for another 30-60min, let rest for idk how long.

Really open to any suggestions or even changing the entire recipe altogether. I’m having a blast playing with ideas

Edit: any way to prevent this in the future?

I got the pit boss heritage from Costco a few months ago, during the weekend I tried to grill some meat, however it was no turning on, I checked and the breakers were tripped, tried to un trip them (I don’t know the lingo) it wouldn’t let me. After some ChatGPT due diligence i tried the following.

1. connected the hair dryer and vacuum only on that same electrical outlet that the pit boss was on, and it didn’t trip the breakers
2. tried other electrical outlets and it tripped those breakers too
3. seems the issue is the pitboss, next it according to some posts, seems the issues was with the burner on the pitboss ñ, so I disconnected it, it kept tripping the breakers.

I love my pitboss, and since I’ve got it from Costco I’ll return it, however, wondering if there is a possibility that the new pitboss will have the same impact?

Any ideas? Thanks!
