Pit Boss Grills 77550 5.5 Pellet Smoker, 850 sq inch, Copper

Works perfectly and makes the best smoked meats!

I have never owned my own pellet smoker until now but have used a few different brands of horizontal ones. This rig beats them all. In my experience, a vertical smoker cooks more evenly and delivers perfect smoke ring every time. Easy to assemble, easy to clean.DOES NOT HAVE BLUETOOTH. It said on the box Bluetooth, wifi and DL the app. The app works well and is worth downloading.

This is not a direct review of the pit boss vertical smoker. I have it assembled and working well. I ordered one smoker and received a very damaged box. Not surprising as the smoker is heavy and made of quality materials. I unpacked the smoker and found it to be damaged beyond repair or use. Amazon shipped me a second smoker and instructed me to return the damaged smoker. Second box came in better condition so I did a quick glance over and saw no immediate damage. After complete assembly I went to open the pellet hopper and the lid was bent shut. I had to pull the lid assembly apart and do some repair work to get it functioning. I would absolutely buy the smoker again, but maybe from a store instead of Amazon and save myself the headache of shipping in subpar packaging.

I've only used it a few times but man it cooks great. I'm no expert and this is the second pellet smoker for me. I wore the first one out and gave it to my son. This one is so much easier to maintain. I love the big ole' hopper. If you're new to pellet smokers this IS the one for you.My one con is when you open the door be prepared to get smoke in your face.At this price point I'd buy another one in a heart beat.

Assembly went well, everything lined up. Loaded with pellets and fired right up. Everything as advertised worked well, 4 stars since I have only used once. I smoked 20# of Jerky and what I like about the smoker is being able to get high heat that I need for a short while and will use in the future to roast or bake.

Great smoker. Well made, tasty food, assembly was very time consuming and difficult. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase.

My only complaint is that the smoker came with a bent door! so it doesn’t seal properly. Other than that I love it if the door wasn’t broken it would definitely be a 5 star. I cooked on it for the first time today and it was lovely.

Makes the best ribs. Even had to bake some potato dishes in it for Christmas cause we didn’t have any more room In the oven. Just make sure to always have water in the drip pan so you don’t start a grease fire
