Pit Boss Pellets
Wood pellets are exclusive to pellet grills. Pit Boss hardwood pellets are made from 100% all-natural hardwood that is dried and ground into saw dust. The dust is then pressurized at extreme heat to create the compact pellets that are coated and held together with the wood’s natural lignin. Hardwood Pellets are also known as the easiest fuel to use.
- Less than 1% ash
- Immense Flavor
- 100% natural hardwood

Initial start up was easy. I Followed the directions in the manual to a T. The fan and auger started up right away and the heating rod heated up very fast. To burn in the smoker they recommend heating it up to 350* for 35 to 40 minutes. It didn't take long to reach the temp. After that i dropped the temp to the smoke setting to smoke 40lbs of homemade bacon.
The final product came out perfect. The smoke is clean and just the right amount. It holds a decent temp but that could be worked on more in future models. I'm personally not looking for temps within 5degrees of what i set out for so If you require exact temps maybe it's not the smoker for you. I would say it's within 10* within its temp.
The way it works is really similar pellet grills like traeger and rectec grills being that it convects the air throughout the smoker and auto feeds pellets with an auger. The biggest difference is the space. You have more space for food and the smoker itself takes up less space.
Cleanup is simple. I would recommend a shop vac to clean out the burnpot after smoking and cool down. The door comes off easy and cleaning it after every use is a must if you want to see the food you are smoking. Warm soapy water and a non abrasive pad for smoking components works for me. Also works for inside the smoke cabin.
I'm happy with my purchase. Happy with the results. Happy with the ease of use. The only thing i worry about is the longevity and reliability in the long run. I would recommend this to anyone
Edit* over a year of use ive come across many issues. Tons of auger jams. The electronic display went out fast. Maybe it can't take ther heat? Longevity has been tested and it didn't last long. Would not recommend this smoker.

Was able to run several batches of meats and had nothing but good results.
Now for the bad news. The packaging is not protecting the smoker during delivery. The first one was returned because of a dented and warped door. I have to say Amazon was great arranging a return after Pit Boss said the door was not in stock to replace. The second one had a dented rear panel that prevented all for bolts to be used on the push bar. I bent the back around so I could easily use the pellet door. Also, the pellet removal door hinge will soon break. It was put on crooked and will eventually break due to bending it into place.
Clean up was harder than my electric but since I rarely cleaned the old one I expect it’s really not worse. I just want to keep this one pristine or close to it. I used a dish soap spray on each time I used it and it worked great. Light clean up with half vinegar and half water works well. I did order a grill mat to protect my brick paver patio.
All in all I’m happy with the smoker and will update this if that changes.
