Grill Boss Electric Pellet Smoker, Vertical BBQ with Digital Controls, Black

Love it

I’ve been happy with this smoker. It does do a good job at smoking and maintaining temperature. Assembly was fairly easy as the instructions were clearly written with illustrations. I’ve assembled hundreds of grills and smokers and found the quality of material to be adequate for this price range. Electric smokers all work about the same and are easy to operate. For someone who hasn’t used one just read the directions and watch a few online videos and you’ll catch up in no time. I do recommend this smoker as it maintains temperature and is a good sized smoker for the price.

The product is nice but mine arrived with a dented door it’s a birthday present so I hope it doesn’t affect the way it works . It just looks like it’s been used. Haven’t been able to get a hold of the seller yet. Pricing was good but it should not have came damaged.

The Grill Boss Electric Pellet Smoker is a standout choice for outdoor cooking enthusiasts. Its 531-square-inch cooking area can handle large gatherings, easily accommodating multiple chickens, ribs, or turkeys. The 1,500-watt heating element and built-in temperature gauge ensure consistent and precise smoking results, while the durable construction promises long-lasting performance. The 3 height-adjustable grates provide flexibility for different meal sizes, and the side-access wood chip tray adds convenience by maintaining heat and smoke levels without interruption. A must-have for effortless and flavorful barbecues!

I'm an avid BBQ'er, and smoker so I wanted to give this one a try. Took about 45 minutes to put it together, and it's entirely assembled using a Phillips screwdriver (included). Spacious racks, but it should include one more than it does - there's a spot for one more, so just include it. It does need to be seasoned for 3 hours before smoking meat, which put off my first run by a day (I was looking forward to it, but I understand!) It uses a power supply similar to an electric skillet, which just has a low-high dial, so dialing in the desired temperature will have a learning curve. The enclosure itself seems to be durable and solid. It has a water pan for moist smokes, and even a little ramp type thing so you can add more liquid without opening the door. It has a wood chip pan that holds a decent amount of chips, put if you need to add more wear a glove because it gets HOT! There are a couples 'cons', however. There's a spot on the top left of the door that doesn't seal very good, no matter how tight you make the closure latch mechanism. It's unavoidable due to the enclosure design. Also, the price is a bit high. Not outrageously so, but it's priced like a digital temp Masterbuilt when it's not quite at the same level. Lastly, I had to resort to using a torch to get the chips smoking because I usually smoke at low temp. An external smoke mechanism would work better for low temp cooks. So, for my initial trial run of this smoker I did a batch of pork belly bites. They turned out amazing! I smoked them with a combination or pecan, cherry and apple with just a sprinkle of mesquite. Smoked for 3 hours on the rack, then 2 hours in a dish covered. Delicious! So, with one cook under its belt, I would partially recommend. Food results were top notch. Smoke is okay, but it needs a little help at low temps. Takes time to dial in the right temp. And lastly, it's a bit overpriced compared to more fully featured smokers. But overall, it's a capable unit and made some really good pork! If it goes on sale ($219 as I write this), grab one. You'll impress your guests with the results.

Grill Boss Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Digital Controls, 1500 Watt Heating Element, 531 Square Inch Cooking Area, and Adjustable Racks, Black might be a smaller smoker, but it works really well. I got this as an early Christmas present for my s.o., He has been wanting one for a long time. Never used the smoker before so I have nothing to compare it to, but it being a electric could have downsides if power goes out and stuff like that so I was a little hesitant on getting it because of that. We have used it a few times already and it has not failed. We even got an extra turkey to smoke for Thanksgiving and it turned out wonderful. It was roughly around a 15 pound turkey and it just fit so anything bigger not gonna work. I do wish it was wider so you could fit bigger pieces of meat, but it is a powerhouse and it’s sat outside in the cold. It has snowed and it’s still working really well. Assembly is a little tedious. You really have to put everything in there like the gauge. The main part is built so it takes a little bit of time, but it wasn’t a hassle. Everything fit together while so when you put it together, just take your time read the instructions and you should be good to go.

I received the smoker with no instruction booklet, no information whatsoever ever

This is a decent smoker, like most things you get what you pay for. We love that it’s electric so it’s easier to maintain a consistent temperature. It was fairly easy to put together and use, but this also isn’t our first run with a smoker. It’s not the easiest to clean if there’s an accidental mess made but as for usual cleaning upkeep it’s on par with our other smoker.
