Day 1.
Did burn in. Then put a basic rub on some chicken thighs. 30 minutes at 180° (SuperSmoke mode) followed by 450° until they hit 170°. Amazing skin. More smoke flavor than I expected for such a short cook.
Then tried burgers. At Manual Mode #7 it cruised past 600°. I was scared to try anything higher. Every grease drip led to a flame kiss. Plenty of char. While not open flame charcoal, it felt like I was working with way more heat than propane.
Barely put a dent in my pellets with all that. This is the 600 (not the XL) and Bear Mountain OAK pellets.
Huge thanks to this subreddit for all the help!

Nice. I have some pork butts going on mine as we speak. She’s a beast!
Don’t even need the smoke boost for 30 min on the thighs. Put them on a cold grate and set the temp to 400. As it heats up they’ll get enough smoke. Take them off when they are done.
Hey mate
I’m doing my initial burn in, is it normal for semi lit smoldering pellets to drop below into its tray??
Looking good btw
Keep it clean it turns into a mess if you burn too many pellets. Other than that yeah I love ours so much it isn’t funny.
Still deciding on this or the wood wind pro
