Hey guys,
I'm looking for opinions on the PitBoss CopperHead 700 series smoker. I would really like to upgrade to a larger smoker than what I have and I'd like to stay with a vertical build so I can do larger batches of links and summer sausage. As I investigate Vertical Pellet smokers the options are very limited. This new model from PitBoss looks like it has potential. The one thing about this new CopperHead series had that I don't love is the temp control. Unlike most pellet smokers, it doesn't offer any kind of temp fine tuning. Temp ranges from 150-450 but it is in hard 25-degree clicks on the temp knob. I personally like more control than that.
I'm interested in the thoughts of this group as well as opinions on the quality and workmanship of this line. I did check a smaller version of this smoker out at a local Menards and was not overly impressed with the build quality. The metal seems a bit thin, but I'm used to my super heavy vertical that I currently use.
Appreciate all opinions and comments.
Last quick thought. Are there any American made vertical pellet smokers worth looking into?
