Our take on the Pit Boss 5 Series Vertical Smoker

The Pit Boss 5 Series Vertical Smoker is a propane-fired cabinet smoker with Wi-Fi control through the Pit Boss app. Its vertical cabinet holds multiple racks, so you can smoke ribs, brisket and poultry at once without a large footprint. Compared with pellet vertical smokers, it heats faster and needs no pellets, but it gives up the wood-fired flavor purists want. Owners like the set-and-forget temperature control and the roomy interior; some report temperature swings and uneven heat between racks.

Questions and answers

Does it need pellets or wood chips?
No pellets. It runs on propane, and you add wood chips in a tray for smoke flavor. Chips need refilling on long cooks.
How does it compare with a pellet vertical smoker?
It heats faster and skips pellet hopper refills, but pellet smokers deliver stronger wood smoke flavor. Choose this for convenience, a pellet unit for flavor.
Can I control it remotely?
Yes. The Wi-Fi controller connects to the Pit Boss app so you can set temperature and monitor cooks from your phone.
How much meat can it hold?
The cabinet takes multiple racks, enough for several racks of ribs or a brisket plus sides. Exact capacity depends on rack spacing.
What do I need to run it?
A propane tank, wood chips and power for the Wi-Fi controller, either an outlet or batteries depending on the unit. A water pan is used for moisture.
Where is the Pit Boss 5 Series Vertical Smoker cheapest?
At Blain's Farm & Fleet, for $449.99, as of our latest check.
