Questions about PIT BOSS 77425 2.5 Gas Smoker
Q:
How long does a 20 lbs bottle of propane last?
Answer: I started with a tank over half empty and have smoked 2 -14 pound turkeys with each turkey taking 5-6 hours each. The tank is not yet empty.
Answer: I hope you don’t consider buying a pit boss product
Answer: I am still on my first tank, I have cooked several meals and like the unit. Customer support is also very good.
Q:
Has anyone made summer sausage or snack sticks with this smoker?
Answer: Don't see any reason why you can't do it. It's a very versatile smoker.
Answer: I didn't do those but did do teriyaki marinated beef strips. I accidentally left them in too long and they turned out a lot like sticks. Still a little moist and very smokey.
Answer: I haven't
Q:
How do i contact pit boss? i'd like to ask some questions before i buy, but i can't find a phone number for them.
Q:
Can propane be used to cook with?
Answer: Yes this smoker uses propane
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes
Q:
How thick is the metal box?
Answer: Don’t know the exact thickness of the metal walls in the box but it is very sturdy. Very happy with this smoker.
Answer: Not sure but about 16 to 18 guage single wall
Q:
What are the specs how high ,how wide ,how deep
Answer: Specs should be in the info on the amazon page
Q:
How exactly do the dual burners work with just the one knob? Is one burner only for the wood chips and will it still smoke at low temps? Thanks!
Answer: One knob controls both burners. One for the chips and the other for smoker temp.
Q:
is there a conversion for natural gas?
Answer: No
Q:
Can i use charcoal and wood pellets together in this?
Answer: It is a propane fired smoker. The wood chips are just for smoke. You can't us charcoal.
Answer: No
Answer: Yes.
Q:
Where is it made?
Answer: Arizona
Q:
Would the ceramic briquettes be helpful with this grill. We're had them with a previous gas grill. It was so much easier to keep clean. What do you t
Answer: Probably not , as the burners are directly under the grate.
Q:
How big is the chip tray? I’d prefer to use chunks instead of chips if possible.
Answer: Small chunks are fine. I always have chunks in my chips. However, the cover that goes on top of the chip tray may need removed as the chip tray swells when it's hot and snags on the top of the chip tray opening. As long as your chunks are less than 2" thick they should lay flat enough in the tray to insert into the tray slot.
Answer: I would not feel comfortable trying to put chunks in this tray. I use the chips. Tray is pretty small and it fits tight in the smoker. If you overfill it’s, it seems like it would be a real struggle to pull out to refill when the tray has heated up.
Answer: The instructions tell you not too use them, however I have. I did have to cut some chunks smaller in order to fit them in as it is only about 2.5-3" deep of a tray. I will say that the chips still provide an amazing flavor and last pretty long. I primarily use chips in mine now because it is a hassle to cut chunks smaller.
Answer: The smoker tray works well, but can only accomodate wood chips - certainly not large enough for chunks of wood.
Answer: The chip tray is designed for chips. It slides through a 11/2+ inch opening.
Answer: made more for chips not chunks
Q:
Can wheels be added to base
Answer: It has wheels on the back legs, just tilt it back and push or pull it where you want it to go.
Answer: There are pre installed wheels already on the back legs of the smoker, it's super easy to move around.
Answer: It has wheels on back you can tip and move.
Answer: There are wheels on the back legs already.
Answer: 2 of the legs already have roller wheels on them. The other side of the pit boss smoker has a handle so that you can lean it over and push or pull like a dolly
Answer: Any Modifications Will Be Upto The User
Answer: No
Q:
can this be used with natuarl gas line?
Answer: Not without an orifice change. I only use a 20lb. LP tank.
Answer: Not without an orifice change. I only use a 20lb. LP tank.
Answer: Not without an orifice change. I only use a 20lb. LP tank.

Q:
What all comes with this gas smoker
Answer: The smoker comes with the smoking box, three racks, a water pan, wood chip pan, grease pan, and some basic recipes.
Answer: Only the 3 racks that fit inside. There is a temperature gage on the door but you're better off buying an oven thermometer to place inside. I'd also recommend buying a cover, mat, and temperature probe for your meats. And you'll need a propane tank.
Answer: Everything you need except wood chips and propane tank.
Answer: It’s more like an oven , Chips don’t last long if your looking for a constant smoke from wood chips
Answer: Everything you need to start smoking exempt the lp tank.
Answer: Everything you see except the propane tank
Q:
Natural gas option ?
Answer: This doesn't come with an alternative burner and air/fuel mix tube for natural gas. I don't believe the manufacturer offers a part for that either.
Answer: Propane only
Q:
Does this come with a cover? If not, which cover demensions should work?
Answer: comes with nice form fitting cover
Q:
Is this propane fueled? Will it take the small propane tanks?
Answer: you would need an adapter to use the small tanks. It wouldn't be worth the effort/price..get a 15 lb tank. If you grill regularly, I would have two.
Q:
Can you use the smoker with propane and natural gas
Answer: From personal experience, these gasses mix differently when used with the valve supplied. Typically, you would have to get a valve assembly designed to oxygenate the natural gas as it is not quite the same as propane to get a proper burn. It's like buying a natural gas stove for you're house but running it on propane. Some minor things need changed.
Answer: Propane yes... natural gas I’m not sure
Q:
Can you use hardwood pellets as the wood source?
Answer: The answer is no. Only can use chips of various hardwoods.
Q:
Will a full rack rib fit
Answer: yes. pending on size you may have to hang them. I did 2 racks last weekend but split in half and used 2 levels for all 4 sections

Answer: Several

Answer: Yep. Exactly as pictured. We have used it many times to make ribs, steak, duck, and it has worked great.
Answer: Just the front
Answer: Yes it is and it works great.
Q:
What is the size/dimensions of the box the products ships in ? Also what is the weight ?
Answer: I'm just guessing about the weight, but think it's about 60 lbs. It comes completely disassembled, everything is packed within the upper box of the smoker. The legs, burner and chip drawer are all in the upper section. Dimensions of the smoker are roughly only one or two inches less than the shipping container.
Answer: This isn’t an answer to your question but this might help on your decision.
Q:
Is this double wall insulated
Answer: No, single wall
Answer: No...
Q:
Can I use natural gas with this smoker?
Answer: Yes...
Q:
Are the racks stainless steel?
Answer: They are porcelain coated steel and clean easily.
Q:
I don't see any handles to carry it, can some be installed?
Answer: There’s one on the back. And it has wheels so you can grab that handle, tilt it back on the wheels and role! And it’s relatively light.
Answer: There is one handle on the back that can be used to move it using the two wheels on the rear legs. However, it is not meant to be used to pick up the smoker to carry it. Overall the smoker is not very heavy and can be picked it up relatively easily.
Answer: There are wheels on the unit, why would you want to carry it.???
Answer: There a handle on the back that allows you to roll it.
Answer: Large handle on back of smoker.wheels on rear legs so it can be moved sort of Like a hand truck
Answer: with self tapping metal screws yes, but it is easy enough to lift.
Q:
What approximate size of a turkey will fit in this? 18lb? What is the largest turkey you have smoked in it?
Answer: I smoke smaller briskets for pulled bbq but you could get a larger turkey if you adjust the shelf...it would take a long time to cook tho. I smoke brisket for 4 to 5 hrs and finish in a crockpot.
Answer: Yes that would be about the largest turkey it would accommodate.
Answer: I havent smoked a turkey yet I think 18lbs is the max
Answer: I’ve smoked a 14 lb. it’s tight so the thighs are not quite done. I spatchcock it and separate the leg/thigh & put them in a different rack.
Q:
Is this model 77425 2-series or 77435 3-series red rock? the above listed description does not match the specs for this model!
Answer: Smaller version 2 series
Q:
can pellets be used with this?
Answer: Not as a heat source. As far as for the smoke flavor, it is way cheaper just to use the bags of chips from Wal-Mart or even Amazon. You can a bag of chips for a couple dollars and a 20# bag of pellets is about $20
Answer: your not supposed to but i did i mixed with wood chips and it turned out fine.
Answer: No

Product reviews of PIT BOSS 77425 2.5 Gas Smoker
Scott S. : Great so far
This is the first smoker I have ever bought. So I’m not an expert. Putting it together out of the box took a little time. There were a lot of parts. But I read the instructions and after an hour or so it was together. I then went to break it in but it wouldn’t get to the recommended temperature. I thought it was broken or I had done something wrong, but after a little investigation it turned out that I had turned the knob all the way to low instead of high. If I had one complaint it would be that documentation on use of the smoker could be better. Especially about use of the vents.
I was warned there is a learning curve to smoking, and my first try with ribs ended not as great as I hoped. But I blame my inexperience more than the smoker. I have purchased a better Bluetooth thermometer, and I’m ready to keep learning. Overall I am happy with my purchase. I will update if anything changes.

Scorpiodrummer74 : Does what its supposed to do...
Easy to use. Food comes out great.

erin davidson : Wrong size in description
Seems like a nice smoker. The description says 800 Sq In cooking but I got a 526 Sq in this description goes with model 77435 thats the newer 3 series.
Mro : You get what you pay for
This smoker was excellent for just a little over a year. Now it won’t start without using a propane torch to help it, and it shuts off randomly while cooking. This is extremely frustrating when your smoking a brisket overnight. The temperature fluctuates about 30 degrees while cooking.
mem : Why would your company send this out?
Product had a large scratch on it, which was covered up by black marker. So apparently not new? Or a return? Two stars due to scratch.
Tommy C. : nice smoker
fairly easy to assemble , a lot of screws that can be spilled out of packaging. Goes together very well,and very sturdy once completed. It cooks very well. Would highly recommend.
Catherine Marello : It works great smoking the fish we catch at the lake.
It works great, but there were a lot of parts to put together. Assembly took me most of a day.
david clifford : Good for money hard to control flame
Easy to assemble but I’ve done multiple smokes of meats and pork that haven’t turned out well no matter how wet the chips small or big catch on fire I even used pellets, fire. At a low temp of 200 I would say the insert should have no holes in the bottom to cause this to happen.
Mandy Lockrem : love it
Hubby has been cooking away since he got it
tracy bobier : Great product
Easy to assemble looks like good quality, I would recommend..
Tim buchanan : Soak your wood chips over night
Having the 1 burner right under the wood chip drawer seems to dry chips out real quick and they catch fire other than that its a nice well built smoker
Tutiac68 : Excellent product
I bought this to try out the world of smoking.
Once received, put it together and found the door locking mechanism missing.
Contacted Pit Boss directly (during the Covid pandemic) and they were excellent in their handling of my issue.
The part came quickly, with the added bonus of they gifting me some of their seasonings. BONUS!
I cannot recommend this highly enough.
Well built (with good door seal), easy to control and with a 5 year warranty with helpful staff on the end of a call, why wouldn't you get this one?

Robert : Customer service sucks
Based on Pit Boss customer service I will never buy another one of there products
deborah miller : smokin
Stra : A Few Significant Design Flaws - Otherwise OK
I’ve used this smoker about 20 times so far and have the following issues.
The chip box expands when it gets hot and the metal expansion causes it to get stuck in place. This is more than just an inconvenience as you have to really yank it out quite hard and it scrapes against the main box.
Also, the water pan only holds enough water for about 3 hours at 200-250F. Ideally you’d like to be able to smoke something overnight without getting up twice in the middle of the night.
The heat control knob (aka gas flow control) is very touchy. The difference between 200 F and 300 F is probably less than 1/10th of a turn on the scale. (Obviously this depends on your outdoor conditions and vent settings but I have found that vent settings don’t help that much.)
Smoker door doesn’t seal at the corners, even after adjusting the closing mechanism multiple times. Not a huge deal but annoying.
On the plus side, if you can deal with all of those issues and babysit it, I’ve been able to make good pork shoulder, ribs, wings, and brisket so not all is lost.
(I also overpaid as I bought it when it was listed at $229.) :/

bigJoe69 : BUYER BEWARE
COMPANY DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT .... I CALLED 3 TIMES AND MADE 2 WARRANTY REQUESTS THROUGH WEBSITE OVER 3 A WEEK PERIOD FOR BROKEN PARTS AND NO RESPONSE TO EITHER .. HARD TO MANAGE HEAT IF ANY WIND OVER 1 MPH UNLESS YOU HAVE A ENCLOSED PORCH,, PRODUCT WORKS AND IS CHEAPER TO RUN ON PROPANE THAN MY ELECTRIC ONES SIMILAR RESULTS BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD AT LEAST STAND BEHIND A NEW UNIT

Achevylifer@comcast : Uses
Works great in the summer or above 60 degrees otherwise it will not reach a high enough temp so its strictly a fair weather unit but works perfect in the good weather.
roaoez : First time smoker
It’s built well. You burn through chips pretty fast.
Billy B : Very easy to use
I have had 3 smokers, this one is by far the the best smoker I have owned.

Achevylifer@comcast : Uses

James : Good smoke flavor
I really like this smoker, it is easy to manipulate temperature and was able to hold 325 when it was 20 degrees F outside. I fit a whole chicken and two racks of ribs on it with room to spare, I had to cut the racks in half so they wouldn't wrap up the sides of the smoker but the flavors, smoke ring, and tenderness was not hard to achieve. It would be nice if the wood tray had a little more clearance as it scrapes every time i bring out in and out. Over all im really happy with it and don't foresee any manufacturing issues.
