Just got my locklhart.

Maybe you guys can answer some initial questions
1. The instructions say to set the temperatire control dial to "SMOKE" position. How do i do this? Just accept the 180° preset temp?
2. I assume the barrel lid is the lid to the main unit that opens up/down.
3. On the right side of the grill are 2 in/out handles. They appear to be there to control the amount of smoke to the upper section.
3a. Do I put these in or out for grilling/smoking in the main unit.
4. I read that the temperature shown for the upper unit is not accurate. I also saw that one suggestion was to set the meat probe on the botton of the upper unit.
Any other suggestions.

Thanks everyone. I looking forward to using this grill.

Welcome... when you start up the unit it should be in smoke mode if it had a pid controller, if not, switch to smoke and press the on button.. Many people here have this combo in the forum and will help you out. I'd suggest a wifi temperature probe to check against the Pit Boss probes and the unit's temperature probe, no undercooking or over cooking this way.
