Pit Boss Copperhead 7 Series Vertical Pellet Smoker - PBV7P1

I love this smoker! Best one on the market I have had others.

Heavyweight and hi quality! I have smoked Italian sausage, St. Louis ribs, chicken wings, and beef brisket! All came out excellent.

Arrived earlier that expected. The delivery was great and the driver was very accommodating

I'm into my 5 mont. Chicken, Ribs, Pulled pork, Beef, different kinds I live at 5200 ft. elavation. November is cool to cold. Maintaining 275 all night is difficult. So I've made a insulation blanket, for the top, sides and back. Worked great for a 12hr Pulled pork. Pit Boss need to address cold weather cooks.

Nice smoker. Works good. My issue is the same as a lot of reviews I've read. Came wraped and crated really nice. Opened the box that showed no signs of real damage and the hopper grate and rear panel were badly dented. I straightened out the best i could, but still looks like crud. The door looks like its been reused. There are scratches in the surface and trim around the glass. Those had to have come from the manufacturer due to condition of the box. I would have sent it back, but it was already a week past delivery date and figured the next one would also be damaged. This is my second pit boss in the last 6 months. Last one, the digital display went bad and sent the temperature soaring while cooking a load of meat and fried the motherboard and ruined $70 of meat. im hoping that was a one off. I also bought the bigger unit with the electronics on the front bottom vs mid point on the side where it would get hot from the cooker. Like the product and will to give it a second chance. Quantity control needs to do a better job. We'll see if its worth the price.

The grill works great. The only issue that I have is the door is not really as good with the hinges but other than that, it works wonderful I recommend buying it.

I've had this now for a few years. Have only pulled it out occasionally (probably not more than a dozen smokes). The start up process is incredibly frustrating having to babysit it every ten minutes to ensure it doesn't quite before getting to 100° then gives me the ERL code. If I prime it myself while babysitting I can get it to 130. It can't keep consistent temps. Program temps below 200, it stays lower than programmed temp. At 200 it at least puts up a decent fight at keeping temp, but at least 5-10 degrees higher than programmed temp. Incapable of doing snack stick type foods, they become leather. Currently babysitting hour 9 of 25lbs of venison summer sausage now attempting 175°.

This was a Father's Day gift to my husband. He also owns a green egg smoker that we love! We tried chicken, ribs, and brisket I absolutely hated them. All the meat was tough. The top was red. We could not get the ribs to brown. I prefer a regular grill or a green egg smoker! If it wasn't his gift I would send it back!!!

Impossible to hold temperature due to gaps around the door. Bought this online from Walmart, tried to return it and they say to contact Pit Boss, Pit Boss says to contact Walmart. I'm stuck in a loop.

Absolutely do not buy this product! This is a review based upon 3 years of attempted use. This smoker never worked correctly a single time. From the beginning you will get nothing but errors. After the first 10 or so attempts I contacted apotboss and they sent me a new control board. You will be so lucky to spend a significant amount of time to install this yourself. This will solve nothing! I attempted to use an estimated 50 times over the next 3 years and experienced nothing but failures. Best case you will hope it runs long enough to get a little smoke flavor before failure and then finish in your oven but you'll rarely get it to run that long. This product simply will not work. Ever. Invest your money in a more reputable brand.
