I have the same pit. These pros and cons were spot on! Love my Pit Boss Pro Series Elite Vertical!

[@lonestarsmoked]

Thanks brother. Most appreciated

[@jtplumbing6592]

As soon as my warranty expires, I'm installing some stainless slides to be able to use the racks like drawers and pull them out without them falling and then installing an compact industrial grade hedge that can handle the heat and installing on top left corner of the smoker and door so it will stay open when getting food out.

[@lonestarsmoked]

Let me know how that goes. I want to do the same thing.

[@daddydutchbbq]

Hey Todd, we're from Iowa and love corn on our ribs.....lol. J/K great job on the video and the pro's and cons !

[@PaffordHomestead]

Found you from Eddie's live Devildog, love the smoker, I'm not crazy about pellet smoke just not like wood...

[@sammypsycho8273]

Im sold. Just wear a Fire Resistant shirt for that scolding door and good to go.

[@lonestarsmoked]

Just park it on a hill. Lol

[@BosBackyardBBQ]

Awesome! Subbed to you.

[@BosBackyardBBQ]

Would love to to do colab video with you. Comparing vertical to horizontal smokers. Would be cool.

[@CaveWyatt]

Between having to put in a new temp sensor in my older Series 5 smoker and it looks like the probable replacement of the igniter in my Pro Series 6, I’m starting to wonder how my Pit Boss 401k is doing. I feel like a PB employee.

[@lonestarsmoked]

I'm about to do a video on replacing the temp sensor on the vertical 6.

[@100GrowGrowshop]

Hi big y a italian and in italy we dont have bbq culture y was live in Miami and love bbq y need buy a vertical pellet smoker what is the beast? ty so much

[@lonestarsmoked]

This Vertical 6 Pit Boss will the job done. It has plenty of space for lots of BBQ smoking!

[@robhav11]

I'm about to toss mine. It's now every time I use it, it catches fire......

[@lonestarsmoked]

Can you elaborate on how it's catching on fire? Mine just started burning bad after a 17 hour cook yesterday. I'm concerned....

[@robhav11]

For whatever reason the pellets in the auger catches fire and backlogs to the pellets. I have even resorted to light amounts of pellets and filling as needed and still catches fire. That's just my experience.

[@lonestarsmoked]

@robhav11 interesting, thanks for the info. I'll be checking mine to see if that's what happened yesterday.

[@frogbg661]

​@robhav11 It is a design flaw. I had the same thing happen with my pit boss brunswick. It happened during the shutdown process for me. The eventually semt me a new one and ot kept happening. I got rid of both of them. Cam be very dangerous.

[@lonestarsmoked]

@frogbg661 appreciate that info. I'll be calling Pit Boss

[@jimdiminico8276]

I do not like it at all. The back door to empty pellets is a disaster. It allows moisture to enter. Pellets get wet and the auger cannot spin. I have replaced the auger motor once. As nd didn’t hours to remove the wet pellets. Worst design someone allowed to be part of this smoker. Tried to use mine yesterday and the auger cannot turn telling me the auger is chocked with wet pellets. Put it in the trash tomorrow and not going to replace it. Terrible terrible.
I give it a 2 out of 10

[@lonestarsmoked]

I agree that the design for getting left over pellets out is terrible. I have had it clog up once, but that was my fault. Question: Do you have a cover for the vertical smoker? Seems to help with keeping moisture down.

[@lipservicecrew]

that thing will burn your house down . junk .

[@lonestarsmoked]

Appreciate the opinion, Thanks for watching

[@mdamiano88]

This pit is horrible. Constant flame outs and fires. Pit Boss customer service is ridiculous, they think customers should endlessly replace parts. They make up weird solutions like “there will be an over the air update” to fix their controller?? So I was waiting for weeks and then they admit I needed a new controller. I’ve been between then and Lowe’s for 6 months now trying to get a return authorized and Pit Boss wont communicate anything to me.

[@lonestarsmoked]

It's crazy how people can have such different experiences with these vendors and their products. Thanks for sharing.
