Thanks for ensuring to talk about which wires plug into the correct wires. Other videos did not provide this information. I actually unplugged everything without checking which wires go where so I needed this information to finish the project. Thanks

Thank you! This video took what could have been a job and turned it into a simple task.

Great video packed with plenty of good information.....thank you!

I solved the problem with the help of a tip. Somehow I had put the bottom heat baffle plate on incorrectly. It was not in the 2 slots. This caused no control over regulating the temp. It’s back to normal. Thanks

thank you my man

No problem with the wiring/color code, I just turned the sound down and looked at the configuration lol Tks, big help because I forgot to take some pics prior to unplugging the connectors.

I finally got my replacement control module working - kind of. Apparently, I have all the connections done correctly, and IF I leave the module partly out of the hole (halfway snapped in), the device sometimes turns on - at least it makes the correct noise and the screen is active. HOWEVER, if I have the module fully installed (snapped in tigihtly), the device will NOT work. I believe that there is s short that is only engaged when the wires are gathered and snugged up in their space. In other words - The function to turn "ON" may work f the module is partially pushed into place, but not when it's fully installed.

thank you for this

Thank You!

I got my control panel in and replaced it thanks for your video I did it with ease and all works good. Ya the old one had some grease on the back a while back cooking ribs the grease spilled down the side. I guess it got inside the control panel and finally shorten it out.

Does smoke come from your pellet container? I've noticed that happening to mine and it seems like it uses a lot more pellets to get to the temperature I want it at

Yes the grey is temperature wire, i buy and sell used pitboss grills... Mostly Lowes and Academy Pitboss grills sold there seem to have this problem.

How long have you had your pit boss and how often do you cook on it?

Was the control board they sent you free or did you have to pay?

Hope you can help. My suddenly began to act up. The heat will go above 500 with the controller set to 250 or any setting. It has run away heat. No Erie in the panel. Is this a controller issue ? Want to smoke tomorrow but I’m not sure what is the prob. Any help thanks

Just came across your channel and was watching all the videos you have had about problems with your pit 1100,was wondering do you leave the extension cord plugged in all the time? also what gauge and length is the cord? I have had the 820 pro series for just over 4 yrs now and have never had any problems at all with mine. I noticed in some of the vids you set the dial to smoke then turn on the power, my instructions say to do the opposite. Power on first then set to smoke. My directions also say to always unplug the unit when not being used. Just wondering if some of the electrical issues you have had might be because of that. Enjoy the vids always very helpful and informative Thanks.

I’m on my 3rd controller and it’s doing the same thing. I set it to smoke and burns until it blows the breaker. Takes about 10 minutes. The pellets never stop getting pushed in. No matter what temp it’s set to hit won’t stop heating up. I’m burnt out on it...

So is this problem common? I am looking at getting one but don't want to spend the money if its gonna break.

Did you have Prime again once you put the new board

Bummers. I got my Pit Boss 1100 pro finally put together and I am doing my initial Burn in. I noticed that if I set it to 350, the digital "Actual Temp" will read around the set temp. The Dome Temp gauge reads around 70 degrees hotter. I know those arent really accurate so I took both meat thermometers and place one in the middle and one close to the sensor the digital readout gives. The Dome and 2 meat sensors are reading the same, roughly 60ish degrees hotter.

My controller went out on my grill so pit boss sending me a new on. I hope it will fix the problem, it wont turn on at all.

Just curious why you didn't put the rec tec controller in there since you had to replace that one........ I'm sure it was covered under warranty and I know the rec tec isn't real cheap 200 dollars I think ......but seems like a good investment if you are already dealing with controller issues.......

Can you remove it without removing the bottom cover?

You can just use a screwdriver to pop it out without pulling the bottom plate out.

Dude you got a defective pit, never seen so many problems with anyone's pit boss pits.

You really didnt have to remove the bottom

Way too many problems to be a fairly new pit. You get what you pay for.

Too bad can even hear you
