| How To Get More Smoke From Pit Boss Austin Xl |
Turn Up the Smolder, Not the Heat
First things first, Austin XLs, like most pellet grills, love their low and slow settings. Think of it like this: a cheetah sprints, a gazelle chills. Pellets at high temps sprint to burn, leaving little time for smoky goodness. For maximum smoke flavor, keep your grill between 180 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. This lets the pellets smolder, releasing that delicious smoke that kisses your food and makes your neighbors jealous.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.

Next, let's talk about the good stuff – the pellets themselves! Moist pellets are mopey pellets. If your bag has been chilling in the elements, those once-mighty smoke machines might be feeling a bit soggy. Store your pellets in an airtight container to keep them dry and happy, ready to transform your food into a smoky symphony.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Cleanliness is Next to Smokiness (Probably)
Your Austin XL might be yearning for a spa day. A dirty firepot clogged with ash can stifle smoke production. Make it a habit to clean your firepot regularly (consult your manual for specific instructions). Think of it as a favor to your taste buds and your grill – a clean machine is a smokin' machine!

- Embrace the Smoke Tube: For an extra smoky punch, consider a smoke tube. Fill it with wood chips, light it up, and let it add another layer of smoky magic to your cook.
- Wood You Believe It? For a more traditional approach, experiment with adding a few wood chunks to your hopper along with your pellets. Just be sure the chunks are small enough to fit through the feed system.
