Dent
I love my smoker but had a small dent at the top of the door after we took out of box It didn’t affect the door but the smoker wasn’t cheap and expected it to arrive in perfect condition

Meat
We love our smoker! Thought it is well worth the money! It was a little hard to put together! Easy to clean! Heats up pretty quickly.

Assembly Required, But easy.
Absolutely a great smoker, easy to use. I am a senior with arthritis and found assembly to be pretty easy, only needed a screw driver, just needed help holding the nut and washer when putting on the 2 vents.

Fantastic Product!
Package arrived in perfect condition. Lots of parts and pieces, but easy to assemble. We’ve used it several times so far, and it couldn’t be better! Temp is easy to control, wood chip tray is super easy to access and fill, and food comes out perfectly.

Arrived Damaged – Striker not working – Unable to reach anyone in Customer Support
I received this and assembled it (took nearly 3 hours) and upon testing the components, I found the striker to light the burners did not work. Work around is with a long lighter. Tried to call customer service – 45 minutes on hold with no answer. Decided to try some pork chops. Temperature fluctuations ranging from 225 – 275 without moving the gas dial. After 3 hours – pork chops done and they were good. This will take some work to get things done right. Had another issue with the water pans – called again – again – gave up after 45 minutes on hold. Never spoke to a live person. Customer service sucks – and will take a great deal of patience to get meat smoked. Thought about returning it – just didn’t relish the thought of disassembly and packing.

Easy to use
I love this smoker, easy to use. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. My thermostat was off a few degrees but called pit boss and had a new one no problem very quickly.

Damaged / poor quality
Box and product arrived damaged. I had high hopes for this product but was let down. Spend your money wisely and buy something of better quality and better customer service.

The Smoker will maintain Your desired temperature.
I like the size of the Smoker and the amount of heavy smoke from the wood.

Poor heater
Not enough power. Max 170deg at night, 225 deg during a warm day. I’m going to have to insulate the to get higher temperature.

Very disappointed out the gate
I am very disappointed with the quality control of this smoker. Not only can you see in photos some of the issues but the built on temperature dial is installed 180 degrees off. Cooking was good but high amount of smoke loss.

Really cooks well!
Temperature seems to easily hold where I need it. Foods turn out excellent. Only two “negatives”, one the ignitor has never worked from day one, I have to use a lighter for fireplaces, etc. Two, the water pan has to be watched, it is unnecessarily shallow. A positive thing is it seems really easy on gas usage, I have prepared several meals so far on my one full tank, and this never happened with my two previous LPG smokers. It seems easier to clean when needed. The wood pan holds a generous amount.

Box says download the app to connect. FALSE ADVERTISING. No wifi/bluetooth
My husband paid $500+ for this smoker specifically because right on top of the box it says to download the app to connect to the smoker. There is no bluetooth or wi-fi on this model. This is FALSE ADVERTISING. Takes an hour to put together. LOTS of parts. First time I tried to burn in per the directions… ERROR CODE. Screen says ErL. There is no code in the book for ErL. There is an eR1.. Took it back apart and wiggled everything around then restarted it. finally got through the burn in. Haven’t cooked anything in it yet because we may return it. I don’t want to give my money to a company that deceives people.I called customer service. They said the only ones that have wifi are Lowes and WalMart versions that are $900. All other versions do not yet they use a box that says it connects to app. Yet… they would not give me the phone number to corporate. I found it and corporate doesn’t care, won’t get me to anyone to discuss. Nothing. They will not stop deceiving people. Bad company.

Beware cheap made
I had one and it lasted about 5 years that’s ok I guess . It rusted out and I decided to buy same one again . This one is junk from beginning . The wood chip box gets stuck when it’s hot and well it’s always hot wnen you use it . The push button igniter hasn’t worked since day one and if the wind decides to blow your screwed the flame blows out . I’ve tried to contact them but always get the run around I want my money back or a new one

NOT RETURNABLE
Arrived dented and despite it being listed as returnable it is not. To be fair I received a10% discount. It’s quality is poor. It leaks smoke, the thermostat doesn’t work well and the vents are not well designed. It has a small burner and doesn’t reach desired temp if it’s cold or windy. Spend some more on something better.

Love my smoker
I use my smoker 3-4 times a week. Good quality and build. Easy to use. Temp control runs 20-30 lower than my gauges but I think it’s due to the position on the smoker. Easily holds 12 lb brisket on a shelf. Cleaning is super easy. Great value and would buy again!

One of the best smokers I have owned
It was easy to assemble and it works really well. I like that it has a window so I can look at the food instead of opening the door and letting the smoke/heat out and having to wait for the heat to build up again.

Well Buit Sturdy Smoker
After using for a few months I find it to be sturdy and it functions very well for the most part. Out of the box it was easy to assemble for someone with a bit of a mechanical background. There is much about this unit that i like; easy to access wood chip box, good door latch, good temperature range, to either smoke, grill or roast your meats, and/or veggies. Thermometer conveniently located on door. I have smoked Boston Butt, chicken, and baked potatoes, all to my families satisfaction. My one minor issue is the touchy burner control. This unit has a two stage burner. Obviously for two different temperature ranges. There is no indication on the adjustment knob to let you know when either one or both burners are ignited. The flame is impossible to see with the wood chip box in place and the door closed. One must watch the built in thermometer for a good while after start-up to see that the correct temperature is maintained. Once it is stabilized it will hold the temp., at least the temp. I use most for smoking, 225 F. I mention this so maybe the designers will take note and make modifications for future models. All in all it is well built, sturdy, and I look forward to many years of service. I will mention that for years I avoided smokers with glass in the doors, as it don’t take long to cloud up. After using this model with glass in the door I find that after smoking, a quick cleaning of the glass from the interior side with paper towels and glass cleaner keeps it clear and ready for the next use. I would recommend this smoker to any grill master or novice that loves smoked meat, fish and veggies.

Hubby loves it
My husband has been wanting a smoker for a long time. He told me the other day this one was way better than the one he had his eye on. He’s smoked ribs several times, a pork loin, and he’s cooked meatloaf, hamburgers, vegetables and a lot more in it. He likes he can put pellets for a smoke flavor, or leave them out and just cook. He’s even cooked a pizza in it. He also says it doesn’t seem like it uses a lot of propane. After using several times a week for well over a month, the tank still fills pretty heavy, indicating that he hasn’t used a lot gas. So glad I got it for him.

Smoking Hot
I put this together today. Very easy to follow instructions. Took 2 hours and 30 minutes of that was unpacking. Quality looks great and sturdy. The wheels are a nice touch for moving around. This is a big step up from my Smoke Hollow electric smoker. Looking forward to firing this baby up.

Will not heat up
Very frustrating this smoker is brand new first time use and will reach over 250 temp. Trying to use first time on thanksgiving. No customer service available on the busiest time of year. All tips say clean out fire pit which makes no sense for a new unit! Took 6 hours to cook a 16 pound turkey. Took 3 hours to get to 250 and never got hotter.

Not a bad smoker but needs better quality control
So of course to start with its a cheap smoker so you have to accept it won’t be the best thing out there but you still expect certain things.Cons1. The door came scuffed up yet the box was perfectly fine…either the quality control at pitboss is horrible or this is a return masking as new.2. the door seal was a joke, leaks everywhere. Going to try and fix this with a lavalock gasket3. Just might be my preference but I wish the wood chip holder opened at the handle so you didn’t have to completely remove it to reload chips.4. Grease leaked down onto the wood chip holder, missed the water pan all together and crusted up on top of it which cause a bit of an issue pulling the tray in and out…going to investigate how that happened.5. The gas knob is very cheap plastic.Positives1. I felt assembly was easy and the instructions were correct.2. Even with the seal leak the temperature was controllable for the most part3. Decent space inside for the small form factorOverall it should work for me for the time being and is an ok smoker for a beginner….I do see why people pay a lot for the great smokers though.

Damaged and dented
Love the smoker. Been doing meats and having a blast. However, when the box arrived the metal was bent out of shape and dented in numerous spots. Had to use an auto body hammer to reshape some parts to get it out together. Temperature is difficult to set as there’s no recommended areas on the knob to say for instance 250. Just the typical low or high flame portion. But getting the hang of it. The metal is thing gauge so it loses the heat if not monitored. But overall I’m loving the taste of my meats.

THIS SMOKER IS AMAZING.
Since buying this smoker I’ve smoked Brisket, pulled pork (Boston Butt), baby back and country style ribes and last but not least home made sausage. I’ve had friends, family and co-workers compliment me and ask how is it smoked perfectly and consistent with everything they’ve tasted. Thanks to the Pit Boss!!

Only the door is double walled
The unit said double walled which is why I bought for smoking in cold weatherOnly the door is double walled the sides back and top are only single wall, same as my old smoker☹️The controls should be on the side so when you load dripping marinated and rubbed meat it doesn’t slop all over the controls.☹️Grease tray not big enough for 4 pork buts. Overflowed and made a mess.Need an internal baffle or diverter to direct drippings from sides rear and front into disposable water tray liner.A big mess to clean up.☹️☹️☹️

Nice smoker
They’ve solved most of the inconvenient parts of my old smoker..easy to maintain temperature and a glass window to look without opening solves a bunch…perhaps it should come with a bottle of bourbon! Enjoy

You don’t have to open it up and release all the smoke to add wood chips.
It’s extremely easy to put together well built. The best thing that I like about it is that I just pull a drawer out to add wood chips. I don’t waste so much smoke when I add the chips.

An Expensive Mistake – Don’t Buy!
Worthless purchase! The wood chip tray won’t come out or go in without brute force. Worst thing is temperature control, a smoker full of meat had to be cooked in our oven because it will not go past 160 degrees. Support is lousy, read off a printed list of things to check, none was the problem. Also, the gas control switch is installed backwards. Never again would I buy even a smoker pellet from Pit Boss. It’s ruining our Memorial Day plans now. There’s a reason this was cheaper than others I was initially interested in. NEVER AGAIN!!?

Not as large as I thought
I have a pellet smoker by the same company. This one is gas. Just a bit smaller than anticipated. It worked well and has the option to use wood chips for flavor.

I am new to the meat smoking life this smoker is a good size and easy for a beginer. It does drop the temperature pretty fast when you open the door and takes a bit to bring it back to temperature

Works well
Works well. Have smoked beef, whole chicken, and pork. Great taste! Only problem was that the igniter didn’t work-called the manufacturer: they sent a new igniter. They didn’t ask me to look at anything specific that may have been a common problem. Did not really come with any instructions, but not difficult to figure out. When I went to replace the igniter, I discovered that the wire had merely slipped off of the igniter terminal, so I just slipped it back on and everything worked.

It’s easy to use and easy to clean. This is my 3rd smoker and the best so far.
I have worn out a Brinkmann and a Smoke Hollow. The Pit Boss was very easy to adapt to.Adding wood without opening the cabinet door or reaching into hot places is my favorite thing.The grease tray access is a step above most others as well.No digital displays or automatic systems. You control the heat, draft, smoke and moisture. As it should be.
