Overview
An electric heating element under a sealed steel cabinet drives this Pit Boss vertical smoker, with wood chips or pellets added for smoke. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you watch and change the temperature from a phone, and a meat probe tracks doneness.
Large capacity with plug in simplicity is why to buy it, suited to batches of ribs and brisket without managing fuel. Its top temperature is for smoking only, and the rack count is listed as six in one place and four in another.
Who it's for
Home cooks who want long, steady smokes with app monitoring will get the most from it. Anyone wanting high heat grilling should pair it with a grill.
Pros and cons
- Very large cooking surface
- App control by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Meat probe included
- Rear wheels for moving
- Rack count listed two ways
- Smoking only, no grilling heat
- Needs a power outlet
Performance notes
The electric element heats the cabinet while the controller holds the set temperature, and wood chips or pellets on the tray supply smoke. A sealed door holds heat, so temperature stays stable in mild weather. Cold, wind and frequent door opening lengthen cooks.
