    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'm not worried about how quick it gets done, I'm more concerned with being able tohold Temps reliably.

    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...

    Im not opposed to spending up for the 22, just want to make sure the weber is worth it

    Id like something that is dependable and will last. The Weber seems to be somewhat sturdy, has good reviews and a deent following

    Looking for suggestions for first smoker

    Right now its just My wife,4 month old and myself in the house, but we occasionally have friends over. I like the idea of the weber having no real moving parts or electronics to depend on. I am somewhat interested in the idea of a pellet grill, but have heard the cheaper ones are no good...

    Looking for suggestions for first smoker

    I'm looking to get a smoker for myself. I've been looking heavily at the Weber Smokey Mountain in either 18" or 22", but figured I'd come here and ask the hive. Looking for under $4-500 setup. Woud like one i can also grill on and is reliable. Thanks for any suggestions
