    Pit Boss 820 issues

    I'm really hoping not to have to return it. It has glowing reviews, I'm hoping I just did something wrong

    Pit Boss 820 issues

    Pit Boss 820 issues

    I got a pit boss 820 deluxe from lowes this week, and did the initial burn in per the manual. I was so excited to smoke some ribs today but have been having some serious temp issues.

    I just found a place locally I can get 55gal food grade steel drums with lids. Now Im considering a UDS setup. What are pros/cons to the UDS vs the WSM?

    Why do you think its more versatile. I wasnt sure how much I liked the idea of hanging everything on the PBC, vs laying on the grate of the wsm

    So Ive pretty much got it narrowed down to a WSM or a Pit Barrel Cooker. Im doing research and it seems there are fervent crowds on both sides. The PBC is $299 to my door while the 18.5WSM is around $300, and then requires a few upgrades. How are the PBCs?

    Thanks for the insight. I'm leaning towards the 22WSM instead of upgrading later. With having a little one, the ability to hold up and hold Temps is my primary concern

I am also researching it vs a pellet stove or the bradley type of smoker with the pucks.Ive been talking with three guys I work with, one has a 18WSM,one has the bradley, and another has the typical masterbuilt electric. Its confusing, Im just trying to figure...
