For optimal performance and flavor, it's recommended to use high-quality hardwood pellets designed for smoking. The PIT BOSS brand offers a variety of flavors that are compatible with the PBV3P1, but you can also use other brands of pellets as long as they are made for smoker use.

  • Absolutely Love it
Bought this smoker a bit before Thanksgiving & ran it a couple times ahead of the holiday before smoking our Turkey in it. Everything has come out great every time. My family wants me to smoke more that grill now & my wife has said the only Salmon she ever wants again is from the smoker. Main tip: Buy a separate thermometer. This is not an option or a suggestion - it is a necessity. Buy one when you buy the smoker. I bought the "Vauno Wireless meat thermometer for grilling smoking" because it has meat probes & an ambient temp probe. The reason you need this is the main temp probe in the unit is near the bottom/ heat source & the temp varies quite a bit from bottom to top. It is more important to know the temp where you have your meat than the temp next to the burn pot. Once you get that figured out you can base the temp setting on where your meat is. The top rack (I mainly use the top 2 racks) can easily be 200-225 while the unit is actually set at 250-275 for example. Getting those temp differences figured out and taking your time to understand and actually work with the unit will make all the difference in the world. ... show more

  • Great little smoker
I bought this for my husband who has a treager standard smoker and he wanted something for hanging sausages so he chose this style. He is very experienced with smoking foods and has used a few different brands. This is the first Pit Boss and upright unit he has used and he enjoys it very much. Because he uses it for hanging he never used the shelving, but they do appear to be good quality. The smoker arrived far earlier than expected (shipped from Idaho and we live in Utah). It arrived practically assembled, he just had to attach the base/legs and the door handle. There has never been issues with grease, heating element, or anything that has been dangerous as other reviewers have said. According to my husband they are just idiot newbs, lol, and as long as you use common sense it won't be blowing up or starting grease fires. The only issue it had was a simple error that was googled and a YouTube video explained that it was an issue with some pellets that got wet. I would recommend getting a cover (available on amazon), which does not come with the smoker, because some pellets that were in the smoker got wet during a rain storm. ... show more

  • This thing is awesome!
So easy to use, was easy to build, and lots of room for proper smoking. I love this smoker, much better brisket and tri-tip yields

  • Love it!!
Love this!!! Got it as a bday gift for my SO. He is new to smoking and I wanted to get him something better than entry level but not too expensive that if he hates it that it’s a huge loss. 8 racks of ribs fit perfect! Holds temperature even in the winter months. We got it in February and use it fairly frequently. Done everything! Salmon, corn, steak, turkey, ribs and everything comes out amazing! The only complain we have so far is that the pellet dust builds up easily and you have to keep an eye on it to make sure that the hopper keeps pushing pellets out. Honestly we may need to do some minor upkeep or sift the pellets before putting them in. ... show more

  • Set and forget it, "almost".
Works great . Maintains temp within 5°. Only have to check the water pan every free hours. One draw back is the controll panel is too close to the floor. It's at the bottom. At 75 years old little tough getting up and down to see it. Built a 2ft. stand and set the smoker on it. Problem solved.

  • Beware!! This seller is selling a discontinued product.
The first smoker that was sent out was damaged during shipping. The seller told me this because I never saw the first one. I used this one 3-4 times before the temperature probe came apart. You can't operate without the internal probe because the unit won't ignite if the probe isn't working. I contacted Pit boss only to find out this part has been discontinued and the part that replaces it doesn't fit this smoker. I was told they would stand good for the smoker if I bought it through them but I didn't. I asked Amazon and the seller for a refund or exchange and I'm told it's after 30 days... I bought this in April. I was told I would get a refund, but then Amazon said no, Then the seller put in a refund for 1.07 , Wow I paid 464.00. Now I have to make and weld a probe to fit this smoker or throw 500.00 bucks out the window... Very disappointed in Amazon for letting someone advertise a product new when it has discontinued parts. Beware!! buy from Pit Boss direct. Amazon was a big let down on this one. Pictures show the difference in probes ... show more

  • great product for the money
It was easy to assemble and use only thing I didn’t like was how it was packaged it had a large dent on the top but not bad enough to send it back

  • Really good smoker.
Easy to follow assembly instructions. Maintains a temperature plus or minus 10 degrees of set temp and easy to use. Only issue was the door seal had a gap on the lower front where the metal panels meet and had to add a small piece to fully seal it.
