At what temperature did you cook? Did it leak smoke? Did it hold temperature well? Did you compare the temperature on the dial with an accurate ambient thermometer? How much of the fuel was consumed? Asking for a friend.
I have this Pit Boss Champion grill. Its a solid grill. I have had it for 3 months and I am satisfied with the cooks so far. The only issue I have right now is to replace the gasket around the lid. What sold me on buying this grill is the charcoal basket swings open at the bottom. You can add charcoal and wood without removing your food. Temps hold steady for me.
Your air intakes are on backwards, if you swap them around they don't get in the way of the shelves. The vent should open completely towards the back of it. It shows this orientation in the manual.
Would like to give that a try and add to my other Pit Boss’s. Seems a little pricy as it is more than quite a few of their pellet smokers that have all the components and electronics.
I have a 22” WSM. It is a great smoker, but now that I am getting older it is a pain to use, so I seldom use it. Did you mention the grate diameter? I cannot justify this grill, but it looks awesome.
would you be able to flip the heat diffuser upside down and place the charcoal basket on top of it, or add a slow n sear type basket for more direct grilling style to get closer to the heat source?
can you do ribs hanging them with a measurement of clearance please or just a measurement from the rib rack to top of fire box please and thank-you! Love the channel
I got a chance to see the OKJ Bronco at a trade show 3 years ago, but I think it was the dealer version which is priced right around this model. The less expensive one I haven’t been hands on yet, but you’re right. Natural comparison.
@@coyote8284I’m curious about the missing ash basket. Looks like a big mess. I have had the Oklahoma Joe bronco for a year now but still gets very messy trying to load charcoal and clean the ash basket.
I love your channel but we watch the video to find out how well it smoked the pork and you never discuss. Flavor, bark, smokiness? It’s not a review unless you discuss how well it worked.
Sometimes I forget to show the taste test part since we often forget to turn the cameras back on since we're not exactly camera ready when it's time to eat. I remember shooting some vertical content with the pork from this cooker, so let me see if I can stitch that together and put it out as a TH-cam Short. I'll link it back here when I get it done so you can see it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT worth the price. Cheaply built, designed and crappy parts everywhere you look. Mine started rusting within six months of delivery and it is now less than one year old. Speaking of cooking grates they WARPED under normal heat, bent out of shape and will not seat properly on the tiny little clips inside the barrel so you will lose your food like I did. The gasket leaked right off the start, had to replace with one from the hardware store which was way better. The firebox door also warped. The adjustable chimney bolts rusted and also under heat is bent and will fail soon. For almost $1000 I expected more, WAY MORE. Worst insult? Pit Boss rude and arrogant providing proper support (Dansons) and their parts that are supposed to be covered under their crappy warranty they have tried to refuse me so I was forced to file a report with the BBB. Go and get yourself a great Pit Barrel for $300 that will last and perform for years reliably and still look great. I am disgusted.
As a previous Traeger+ user, switching to Asmoke was a game changer for me. The Asmoke Essential's smart design and ASCA™ technology not only improved my cooking results but also made the cleaning process much easier. The FlameTech patent truly delivers on temperature control, which I found to be more accurate than my old Traeger+. The ability to monitor the food's temperature and adjust it remotely through the app is a massive bonus. The most appealing feature for me, however, is the versatility. The fact that Asmoke uses wood pellets that come in different flavors has truly elevated my grilling experience. To top it off, it's portable and battery-powered, making it my go-to grill for any outing. It's not just a grill, it's a new way of cooking and I couldn't be happier with the switch. #Asmoke
Why they make you buy porcelain coated cooking grates. They chip easily and coating gets into meat. Horrible design choice by manufacturer. Overall, the quality is not impressive for the price. I'd pass.

Pit boss put in some work brotha! Looks like a winner.
I like this smoker alot but I'm getting a Hunsaker even though its a higher price-Mide in America
It seems like Pit Boss did there do homework and covered all bases.Looks like a great smoker

@6:55 it looks to be 21”, so pretty close to your WSM.

That’s a nice unit!

Ill stick with the weber good smoker tho
Man I’m really digging this. I wonder how it would match up to the Oklahoma Joes Bronco. The price is a little high compared to the Bronco

You can get a bronco for less than 400. And oklahoma joe is better in every way. I'm curious about that diffuser tho

Check out the Oklahoma Joe Bronco
Do you have the Bronco? I looked at both and decided on the PB Champion. How do you like the Bronco?
