Exactly what I was looking for…
I’m reviewing The Pit Boss vertical smoker, and I must say it looks great. The front glass lets you monitor your food without opening the door, which helps maintain heat. Cleaning is a breeze since the racks slide out easily, and the overall build quality feels solid—not cheap and flimsy. Plus, the temperature control is precise, and the wood chip tray is conveniently accessible. With ample cooking space for multiple racks, it’s perfect for any outdoor cooking enthusiast. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase!

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.

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!

I would say you get what you pay for but…
Heat temp is max 265F. Received with a rusted corner and the corner doesn’t sit on the base well making it hard to move. There’s screws that appear to be stripped and the temp gauge after using it one time is filled with condensation. I don’t know if I just received a defective smoker but I’m certain this thing is going to have continuous issues.

This Is A Good Smoker!
Love this smoker. I was worried at first by the reviews I read about dents and damage in shipping. I received mine on 3/16/25 and it was perfect, no damage at all. Not sure how any damage can happen the way it is packaged. Easy to assemble, took me 2 hours but I was taking my time while enjoying a cocktail or two. Fired it up for the first time today (3/17), 47 degrees outside and had no problem reaching 305 degrees. This is going to be perfect for low and slow smoking at 225 degrees. The door has a good seal too, no leaking smoke from it. This is a good smoker. The one thing I do not like is the thermometer that came with the unit would not go over 250 degrees when the ThermoPro probes said 305 degrees. Most thermometers that come with smokers and grills are never right.

The quality of substandard
Not happy with the quality of this smoker I can’t yet the temperature below 250° and it’s very hard to maintain the temperature and the door seal does not seal completely but it works right as an oven
