    Pit Boss Copperhead 5

    Pit Boss Copperhead 5

    I'm very happy with my Copperhead 5 as well. For the temp swings, are you going by the temps shown on the front digital panel or do you have a separate temp monitoring system? I ask because I have the swings as well, but it's not as bad as a thought. I think it's because of where they put the...

    Yes, I had an issue with the door on my copperhead 5 as well. My door drooped on the right side; so the gasket would not seal in the upper right corner. So I heated up the smoker, got some gloves, and lifted up on the lower right portion of the door in a counter clock wise twisting motion. The...

    Got an pics you can post of the smoke box and area? I know the smoke box looks big, but I'm surprised it will actually fix wood chunks in there too!

    Pit Boss Silve Star Series 3 Electric

    Rings R us, got any update for us? I'm very interested in this unit. Seriously considering buying one. Got any feedback, good or bad? How long does the wood chips last? The advertising says up to 2 hours. It looks like the smoke box is big enough that the wood chips should last longer than that...
