Pitboss for the win
Perfect for my backyard grilling/smoking needs. It does take a bit of experimenting to figure out what works best for your needs. Easy and fun to smoke meat as well as grill plus you can bake in it as well. Did a 7lb Boston butt and it was perfect. Wife and friends were all impressed and full. Could not be happier with my purchase. Pitboss for the win.

Defective
Defective, even customer service admitted that it happens. But pit boss is not willing to replace defective part. Took me 3 months to get an unacceptable answer. Spend your money on another brand. Rusted with in 6months with covering it and storing in garage

    Good grill
    First thing. This grill is very heavy! I think its close to 300 pounds. Having said that. It keeps temperature really well. So far I really like it.

    Great multi function smoker…HEAVY DUTY!
    Amazing! So easy to use! Very easy assemble , very heavy duty!!!! I used it in a bbq competition the first day , had it running from 9 am until 6 pm with only one bag of pellets! Is worth every dollar! I seared meat , smoked ribs and smoked chicken! I would Definetly recommend this grill I'm sure there are a lot better ones , but this is absolutely what I needed!!!

    Good compromise between typical smoker and grill
    I was looking to replace my gas grill and my electric smoker as both were aging and took up a fair amount of space on the porch. Having no experience with pellet smokers, i wasn't sure about this route but I'm quite happy with this as the solution. Hopefully someone finds this helpful in the same boat. I've used this about 5 times now as a smoker including sausage, whole chickens, ribs, pork but and burnt ends. At this point i dont think I could have done better for $400. Plenty of space on the racks, though if you are smoking a bigger pork butt or turkey, the top rack has to come out. Temp control has a little more variance than a cabinet style chip or offset lump smoker, but it self corrects quick enough. I like to set it at 225, but found the temp got as high as 250 for a period of a couple minutes after a pellet burn. Not enough to over cook anything, but does accelerate cooking time just a bit. About a 20 degree variation between the gauge and the electronic probe, so probably will want to keep an eye on that when using it as a grill only. Internal meat probe(2 included) seems reliable. Pellet box is ample and is probably enough to run about 15 hours without running too low in a medim to high smoke setting. 8 different smoke settings that seem to cover the appropriate range between just enough pellets to provide heating fuel all the way to an excessive amount of smoke for fish or chicken. Overall construction seems solid, so I'm expecting at least 5 years out of this. We typically use the grill or smoker at least twice a month year round in Florida and keep it under a covered porch when not in use. Assembly instructions could have been much better, and some questionable packaging choices in my opinion made it more difficult which is the reason i went with 4 stars instead of 5.

    Monster heavy for one person to assemble and move!
    This grill is extremely big and heavy! Very nice quality tho. Shipping carton was slightly damaged and part of the shelving bent. I'm new to smoking on pellet grill and wasted a piece of meat because of it.

    Horrible Grill. Much better products available
    I have a Traeger Grill at a second home. Its wonderful. Maintains temperature and cooks eavenly. I wanted a second pellet grill at our primary home. I bought a Pitboss Pellet grill on sale at Walmart because it was cheaper and seemed well built. Big mistake. Spend the extra $ on the Traeger. The Pitboss is not designed well to deliver consistant temperature. The Traeger has a second baffel to distribute heat through out the grill. If you're not particular about the outcome of your cooking get the Pitboss. If you are meticulous about serving and eating incredible food get the Traeger. The Pitboss is also more difficult to clean. If you're smoking for a long time like ribs or a pork roast it often shuts off. I called Pitboss Tech support about it. Of course everything was my fault. They said I must be using cheap pellets. I was using theirs. They said I did not shut it down properly. I follow shut down procedures to the letter and vacuum it out after each use. See photos attached. I maintain all my kitchen equipment meticulously. The Pitboss will also rust internally with in a month. If you're cooking any product over 300 degrees good luck. It will burn before it is done. Yesterday I cooked a spatchcock chicken at 350. The top looked beautiful. I flipped it over at 140 internal temp to check it. It was burnt. I threw it out. I am done with it. The temperature of the Pitboss varies plus or minus 30 degrees. That's not quality cooking. I've been in the restaurant business for 30 years owning over 21 restaurants serving quality food. Our success speaks for itself. My pitboss is only a year old. Today I am taking it to the dump and buying a Traeger. These units are not professional smokers. At a reasonable cost the Traeger and I'm sure other similar products will produce a quality product for the homeowner. Very dissapointed with the Pitboss.

    Cosmetic Damage
    Ordered online picked uo at local store. Smoker has cosmetic damaged in 3 different location. It has a 12 inch scratch on the hottom base, a 1inch round dullness on the top of the barrel, with a dent on the back of tha barrel as well, and on the pellet holder it also has 2 dents on it. Called pit boss and they said they could not do anything if it works correctly. They d9 jot do anything for cosmetic damage. I explained that I paid to much money for something that was not in perfect condition. I called wal mart online and they told me I had to go to my local store to return it. I will be doing so. I wilk disassemble and take back. I should not have to stay witha damaged item for the amount its worth. I could only upload 2 pics.

    Bad quality control and paint job
    Poor quality control. Got mine last week brand new, Open it up and paint is chipping off the grill before i even used it. I called Pitboss and they did not care that their product with Zero hour, or minutes of use has paint peeling issues due to bad manufacturing. Debating to return it to Walmart or keep it. Pit boss is the worst.

    Great grill and smoker
    I got this for my husband for Christmas and we both love it. I read some of the one star reviews and that must have been user error. This is a great grill and my husband joined a pit boss community on facebook and has been using it more than I've been on the kitchen. His brother and brother-in-law just got one too and they love theirs too.

    Grill like a boss! In a PitBoss
    Can't go wrong with this grill. Ton of room for cooking space. So easy to use and cleanup is a breeze! It took about an hour to assemble but so worth it. We love it and look forward to many wonderful meals!
