Pit Boss Copperhead 5 Series Vertical Pellet Smoker - PBV5P1

This is the second Pit Boss smoker I purchased. My first was a standard pellet smoker. It was great but got old. This time I knew what I wanted. The smoking area is 1500 sq in, double my old one. I can also see the items being smoked without opening the door, as long as its not smoking up at the time. I really like the fact that there is a cleaning tray . It is so much easier to clean than my old one. I also waited for it to go on sale, I got it for a great price.

Smoker arrived in about a week, very heavy to drag into house for assembly since it cold outside. About two hours to assemble but definitely could be done in less time. A few screws take a little patience to get lined up. Tight fit getting through slider doors to porch. Used three times trying out different meats and fish. I like a big smoke flavor so use maze smoker before turning on smoker. This needs to be on a rack away from heat. Hardest part is getting all food ready then it set and forget. Need to purchase second thermometer as now use in quickest cooking food and then switch as food is being taken out. Definitely a learning curve as it's extremely cold outside and find I need to adjust cooking times and bump up temperature 25 degrees. Not a bad clean up but the time invested keeps smoker looking new and grease free. Maybe would have liked to be able to completely empty hopper of unused pellets. Can get the majority out but need to hand vacuum the remainder. Looking forward to get better, already had all five racks full with ribs, brisket, salmon, lobster, Chilean sea bass and wings. Used smoker with maze smoker to cold smoke salmon. Won't buy store smoked salmon again.

Absolutely a great smoker. Just bought my second one. Had the same exact one. Worked great for 5 years until I left it uncovered and it rained. You won't be disappointed!!

This is a great smoker. After trying several different smokers I decided to spend a little more money and it was worth it.. I really I enjoy the wood pellets and never have to add chips for smoke flavor as I get it through the various types of wood pellets I am burning. It is very easy to operate and it is important to understand the temperature does swing during operation. However, it does maintain the set temperate ( swinging 20 degree either way) so I have had no issue cooking moist and smoke flavor to perfection.. I highly recommend getting this smoker. I use it at least 3 times a week and just cooked a pizza opening up several other menu options..

I have owned other brand name smokers with poor results. What I like about the PIT BOSS smoker I purchased from you is the ability to talk to a person on the phone. They answered any question I had. After receiving my smoker I was impressed with the quality of this product. As a machinist this meant a lot to me. Then after using my smoker I am in love with this thing. The controls are straight forward and actually work unlike other smokers I have owned. Great product will recommend to my friends and family.

Love this smoker! Have done some ribs, and smoked meatloaf so far, and both turned out great! I also appreciate the help and support of BBQGuys in rapidly dealing with returning the first unit I received - which arrived with a dented up door, and crushed auger housing. The return was handled quickly and smoothly, the replacement smoker arrived as scheduled and was defect free. A job well done all 'round

Great smoker. Huge hopper allowed for 22-hour cook with no refilling of pellets (which would have been easy anyway thanks to great design). Consistent temp throughout. Perfect, tender, juicy pork was the result. Didn't really even need to pull it; just gave it a mean look, and it fell right apart. Have used at least a dozen times already (bought 2 months ago), and I love it. Great product! Additionally, bbqguys is only place to buy this stuff. First smoker came with some relatively minor damage. I let them know (email with a couple pics), and they shipped me a new one immediately with no questions asked. I buy all bbq-related stuff here now. Easy to get someone on phone when I have questions, and they're always super helpful and knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough.

So far I love this thing! Done turkey breast, whole chickens, salmon, meatballs, pork loin all at the spectrum of Temps this smoker will do, and everything's been great. We are going to do pizza on a stone next, can't wait! Better than the smoker, the staff at BBQGUYS! My first unit arrived with shipping damage, and at 5 PM on a Saturday, I emailed them. By 6:00 they had contacted me, asked for pictures of the damage and arranged a replacement. ON A SATURDAY EVENING! My new go-to for outdoor cooking needs, already ordered some accessories and a second temp probe, the new order arrived in just days. These people are fantastic to do business with ......

When I got the smoker it was dented. Called customer service, showed them pictures and they sent out another. Since then it has been VERY easy to use. I have tried many meats and they turned out amazing. I'm a beginner and feel very confident with this product. Great price for what you get!

Absolutely love the way it cooks and how the food tastes
