Pit Boss 3-Series Gas Vertical Smoker, Red Hammertone - 10773

First time smoking to any degree. This smoker works great. It's just a matter of setting temperatures correct. If the smoker is sitting in the sun or shade you're going to have a wide variation of temperatures that you'll need to correct at the burner. All in all a great product at a great price.. got it on the one day spring sale! I read a lot in reviews about being difficult or taking a long time to put together. I use a battery operated drill with a Phillips head that was correctly sized for the screws to make sure I didn't scar the head of the screw. Took me about an hour... And it looks great!

The quality of the build is SUPERIOR. Very well constructed and nice and sturdy. Cant wait to get it smoking.

The smoker is decent quality. The metal it is constructed with is a bit thin. The seal is not very good so I added a felt seal on the door opening. The base could use a wind blocker to help keep a steady temperature along with a thicker metal. The adjustable shelves are very nice along with the water tray. I like the capacity and the setup overall. The propane helps greatly to maintain temperature while smoking the meat for extended periods of time. The enamel coat seams to be good quality only time will tell. Assembly was not very difficult. I used high temp silicone sealant to ensure a good seal to retain smoke. I'm happy with my purchase.

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!

This smoker works great. Salmon, pork tenderloin, Boston butt. All came out wonderful. Holds smoke good and chips last for a while. Have to keep an eye on it because it stopped working and had to reset it . Door lock is good also no smoke escaped.

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.

I like this product. I was pleased with how fast it assembled and the quality was nice. I used it for the first time yesterday and smoked bacon. It turned out great. I am preparing sausage for a smoke tomorrow. I like to hang my meat for maximum exposure to the smoke. This smoker has room to hang your sausage. Cajun approved.

Great beginner smoker. Set it and forget it!

The smoker looks and works Great, haven't stopped smoking meat since we got it, absolutely love it!!
