go to the pit boss websight and you should be able to find all the info you need. Or google 1230 pit boss owners manualMy name is Lee Reiners. I live in Central Illinois. I just purchased a 1230 competition series combo wood pellet and gas grill smoker from Menards. We just assembled it over the weekend. I read all of the assembly and user directions. There is little to no information regarding the use of smoking features such as the searing control or using the gas side for smoking. What resources are available to learn more about these features on the 1230?

Wrong grillhttps://images.pitboss-grills.com/catalog/manuel/10515_PB1230_manualUSA_EN.pdf did you get this manual with it?
sorry I thought it was the 1230 grillWrong grill
Thanks for the quick response. I did get both the assembly instructions and owners manual. They both gave almost no information on using the gas side for smoking. Website was no better. I did reach out to Pit Boss customer service and got some help there.https://images.pitboss-grills.com/catalog/manuel/10515_PB1230_manualUSA_EN.pdf did you get this manual with it?
Thanks. As a newby I have a lot to learn. It should be fun.When you set your temp you can increase the smoke if you hold the prime button a few min it works great…
My goal it to put in as much smoke as I can for the first 4 hours I use smoke setting and pick. P seeking that works for what you want changing the p setting will make the temp move you want it around 200 p0 it’s hot out p5 depends on all of things have to find what works best for you … feel free to pm me if you need help
Thanks. As I stated before, all of the manuals came with the grill. I just didn't find them very informative for smoking or details such as the searing plate and the smoke gate to the gas side. As you found also, I learned more in an hour of watching YouTube videos than reading both manuals cover to cover. I'm an engineer so I anticipated having to recheck bolts and screws for relaxation periodically. One of the common themes I've picked up on as you mentioned is do your maintenance and keep you grill clean and protected. As soon as we have a rain free day, I'm ready to start the pellet side.I am new to this also but I have spent out of 3 months prolly 2 months solid using this thing watching vids on pellets grills went threw all kinds of brands I should have a damn you tube but I curse to much lol when I do somthing I go all in I’m setting up a grilling area behind my place this weekend
Your going to need to tighten the hood bolts down every few weeks so it’s a pain but besides that it worked great keep it clean deep clean every 2 weeks give or take and it should do ya great

That's great. I had no idea you could bake in them as well. Nice in the summer so you don't have to heat up the kitchen. Anyone do any cast iron Dutch oven cooking in their grill?Your gunna love this thing baking in the smoker is is amazing cakes super moist brownies come out perfect
