  • Great smoker. Multiple racks. Happy with it.
Style: 5 Series Color: Copper
I'm in smoking heaven! A friend had one of these and loves it, so I took his recommendation. Works great. for a long smoke, you need to take a pole and push the pellets around to concentrate them more towards the middle of the pellet feed. I think the design could benefit from a more cone like angle in the hopper to avoid having to do that. That said, I will live. If you buy this, be SURE to follow the instructions on how to open the box and set it up, otherwise you are going to bend the front panel upon opening and setup. (like I did). I didn't find the instructions soon enough which explain how to open the box and lay it down etc. - well - I don't know how else they could package the instructions so that it is front and center when opening to avoid the problem - maybe print something on the outside of the box (?). Clearly, it has been an issue to require them to make very specific notes about it in the instructions. (just a heads up). You will want to put something underneath the smoker if you are concerned about grease or other dripping moisture staining your patio or cement. It does happen. Not a lot, but there are greasy moisture drips, even though there is a drip pan. It doesn't catch all of the moist drippings. At least that is my experience. There is a really good video on youtube on how to clean the interior glass. Just vinegar and water and it comes right off. The glass otherwise cakes up pretty quick and you can no longer see through it. ... show more

  • Bradley smoker replacement
Style: 5 Series Color: Copper
Our Bradley vertical smoker has worked like a champ for years. However, it's been displaying many E1 errors, and the smoke generator randomly shuts down. We purchased the Pit Boss vertical pellet smoker because we prefer a larger smoking chamber, similar to Bradley's. So far, we've made pulled pork, ribs, burnt ends, and bacon. Since it will run as high as 450°F, we've also used it to make pizza and bake bread (!). For smoking meats, if you run it on the lowest temperature setting while the meat's internal temperature is below 120°F, you can achieve a wonderfully smoked result. Then, turn the temperature up to the desired smoking temperature to complete the process. Simple to use, no Bluetooth connectivity or programmable temperature profiles – yay! It features a PID controller to regulate the internal temperature. Working great so far. ... show more

  • Quality smoker
The media could not be loaded. This is a very nice piece of equipment. Assembly is easy. I assembled it alone and it took about an hour. It works be faster with help from a friend! The components are packaged well with plenty of padding. Initial start up was easy. I Followed the directions in the manual to a T. The fan and auger started up right away and the heating rod heated up very fast. To burn in the smoker they recommend heating it up to 350* for 35 to 40 minutes. It didn't take long to reach the temp. After that i dropped the temp to the smoke setting to smoke 40lbs of homemade bacon. The final product came out perfect. The smoke is clean and just the right amount. It holds a decent temp but that could be worked on more in future models. I'm personally not looking for temps within 5degrees of what i set out for so If you require exact temps maybe it's not the smoker for you. I would say it's within 10* within its temp. The way it works is really similar pellet grills like traeger and rectec grills being that it convects the air throughout the smoker and auto feeds pellets with an auger. The biggest difference is the space. You have more space for food and the smoker itself takes up less space. Cleanup is simple. I would recommend a shop vac to clean out the burnpot after smoking and cool down. The door comes off easy and cleaning it after every use is a must if you want to see the food you are smoking. Warm soapy water and a non abrasive pad for smoking components works for me. Also works for inside the smoke cabin. I'm happy with my purchase. Happy with the results. Happy with the ease of use. The only thing i worry about is the longevity and reliability in the long run. I would recommend this to anyone Edit* over a year of use ive come across many issues. Tons of auger jams. The electronic display went out fast. Maybe it can't take ther heat? Longevity has been tested and it didn't last long. Would not recommend this smoker. ... show more

  • Perfect for my needs.
Style: 5 Series Color: Copper
We had the mastebuilt electric smoker first and loved it but needed a larger cooking space. My brother has the 7 series and talked me into getting this one. I love it. I can now do double the food in this one. Better control of the temperature and the taste is just as good if not better.

  • Amazing
Style: 5 Series Color: Copper
I have never owned my own pellet smoker until now but have used a few different brands of horizontal ones. This rig beats them all. In my experience, a vertical smoker cooks more evenly and delivers perfect smoke ring every time. Easy to assemble, easy to clean. DOES NOT HAVE BLUETOOTH. It said on the box Bluetooth, wifi and DL the app. The app works well and is worth downloading. ... show more

  • Good
We got this to make it simple for my husband to smoke food. It works good except when it gets to 300 degrees it shuts off.. so we use it too cook jerky at a very low temperature. Easy to keep clean.

  • Great smoker and easy to work on..
Style: 5 Series Color: Copper
Love my smoker and we use it a ton, not only does it work as promised it is very easy to service, I had a 500.00 dollars brisket fire that spread into the grease trap and then my brisket fire turned into an electrical fire taking behind the control panel, I ordered the replacement parts and in 20 minutes everything was swapped out needing only a Phillips screwdriver... very happy with my purchase.. ... show more
