Pit Boss® 2-Series Analog Electric Vertical Smoker

I’ve only smoked pork belly burnt ends and ribs so far. I’m actually in the process of smoking a brisket for Super Bowl. Don’t get me wrong, I have respect for all the other grill manufacturers out there, but for me, the Z Grills stands out for its reliability and consistency. With my Z Grills, I’ve made everything pit boss flat top from brisket to cheesecakes, and it has never let me down. We are cooking at low enough temperature that you may get a little bubbley bubble out of it, but not a simmer. So, once the meat is added, this smoked chili recipe is done when the meat gets tender, all the flavors are combined, and the sauce thickens.

The food cooked in the smoker has great flavor. Clean up is far easier than any other smoker I’ve used to date. For retail purchases returned without a receipt, the refund will be issued as a store merchandise

Personally I would not encourage someone to purchase a product that 30% of owners didn’t like and less than 60% gave it a 5 star rating.

We like its large capacity, which can handle up to eight racks of ribs, nine chickens, or six pork butts. Three tiers of stainless steel grates allowed us to move food on and off the grill easily. We recently did a full feature on outdoor grilling essentials, diving into the variety of outdoor cookers you can place on your patio. We also go over alternative cooking methods, accessories, and more to make your backyard grilling oasis even better. However, if you want the best experience possible, our recommendation is to pick up a pellet grill. Traeger’s premium models are still on sale right now for $200 off with prices starting at $1,100, so be sure to check those deals out before you go.

(Other good options include any fruit wood, maple, or pecan). Add in my Hey Grill Hey Signature Sweet Rub, and these chops turn pit boss pellets out sweet, spicy, smoky, and savory. Plus, smoking a good thick chop ensures they turn out juicy and incredibly tender.
