Overview
An electric vertical smoker from PIT Boss, model PBV3A1, finished in blue hammertone with an aluminum body. At 23 x 22 x 47 inches it is sized as a standalone upright smoker rather than a tabletop unit.
PIT Boss's PBV3A1 runs on electric heat rather than pellets, propane, or charcoal, which trades some of the wood fired flavor other PIT Boss lines offer for simpler plug in operation and steadier temperature control. Amazon does not supply a seller description for this listing, so the details available are limited to the spec fields: electric fuel type, aluminum construction, and the blue hammertone finish.

Who it's for
Buyers who want a plug in electric smoker rather than one that burns pellets, propane, or charcoal, and who have space for a 47 inch tall upright unit. Less suited to anyone chasing the stronger smoke flavor that wood or charcoal units produce.
Pros and cons
- Electric operation means no propane tank or charcoal to manage
- 47 inch upright size gives standing rack capacity
- 3.7 rating trails many competing smokers
- Electric heat produces milder smoke flavor than wood or charcoal
Performance notes
Electric smokers like this one heat via a coil rather than an open flame, which generally means steadier hold temperatures with less hands on tending than charcoal or propane, at the cost of the deeper smoke ring and flavor that live fire fuel types produce.
