Newbie Pit Boss question

[jmjnewbold]

I’m looking at the pit boss pro series 4 series vertical smoker, but I’ve seen that it’s not PID or WIFI. Can I upgrade the “board” to WIFI/PID later??

Forget upgrading at this point. It will be cheaper and easier to just buy one of the newer units with them built in. Just my 2 cents.

The Copperhead units use a different controller layout so there are no compatible aftermarket PID controllers (ie Savannah Stoker) to my knowledge. You could probably put an aftermarket controller in a project box mounted somewhere on the smoker, but it will likely be more expensive than getting something else with PID and WIFI built in from the factory.

I would buy it already with rather than convert, the warranty will be gone if you convert, the warranty is really good on the new units , maybe a little more money than you want to spend right now but you will save in the long run imo

I would absolutely get that one instead of trying to upgrade but Walmart’s website says it’s outta stock and I can’t order it. I don’t think I can get that smoker anywhere at this point.

Has anyone seen this smoker at their local walmart, or available to purchase from their walmart website? Currently Walmart is telling me its out of stock and they don't know when/if they are going to be getting any in.

They always release their new lines of smokers in November. Did the same last year. Added the products to Walmart but wasn't available yet. Give it a few more days and they will start stocking

Thank you for the insight! Hopefully they will start showing up soon! I would like to smoke a turkey for thanksgiving, but I need a "dry run" to make sure I don't ruin thanksgiving!
