Pit Boss - Vertical Pellet Smoker - Mahogany

I recently purchased the pit boss PB1250CS2 smoker and apparently in order to to clean out all the pellets. After every cook, you have to remove the auger. That is absolutely ridiculous! As of yet, I have not been able to find he shot back fitting that will fit through the grates.

I've had this smoker for several years now. Works fantastic, have had no issues. Even had storm winds blow it off my porch and the only damage was to the handle bar on the back. The food that comes out of this thing is loved by everyone. I've even had other smokers ask me to bring this with me to gatherings. I've not put fish or cheese in it but that's a personal preference. Last year I did 4 smoked turkeys for thanksgiving by request. The only thing I do not like on this smoker is that it does not connect to the app so I can monitor temps while I'm away from it. That's the only reason I am giving it 4 stars.

I liked making smoked sausage in this smoker. Worked great for the first six months, maybe used it about 6 times before it stopped working. Now the pilot won't light and the auger won't stop turning. Will have to contact pit boss to resolve the issue. Disappointed in the product failure, especially so soon after purchasing.

IVE HAD MY SERIES 7 FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS NOW AND IVE SMOKED EVERYTHING IN IT FROM JERKY, STEAKS, BRISKET, RIBS POULTRY AND EVEN PORK BELLY FOR BACON. ITS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE IN SIZE AND HOW MUCH WEIGHT IN PELLETS IT CAN HOLD. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO, YOU COULD SMOKE 6 BRISKETS IN IT.

Over priced for the quality, rivets have pulled out of the metal that holds legs on,throws codes all the time for heat and auger not working and customer service is non existing. Look at different brands than pitboss because there over priced and quality is poor .
