Product reviews of PIT BOSS 10537 PB0820SP Wood Pellet Grill, Black

Renee Gardner : Overall pleased

Not so easy to assemble but we eventually figured it out, And it's Really Heavy! Used it twice now and we've been pleased. Hoping the Husband continues to entertain us all with his new "toy"....so far food has been delicious.

sean emburey : Read your directions!!

I only have about 5 cooks on it but works great..... time will tell????

Jim : Great pellet smoker

This pellet smoker is the bomb. I've used it three times and it holds temp WAY better than the Traeger I used to have. Setup was simple, great construction. It's heavy but I can live with that.. Couldn't be happier.

Amazon Customer : Happy i got the Pit Boss pellet grill,

smoked turkey and porkloin works really well did a great job

Dave : Not Impressed

Does not hold temperature well. Set to 225F and it bounces from 200-250F.

Setting to 200 gets worse. Also, when I opened the box I could tell it was refurbished. Washers and bolts scattered (accessory storage was open), and random parts were put together. Planni g on teturning.

Jason Roozee : Simple design flaws, horrible user manual, but decent grill

Overall nice grill.

3 complaints:

1. The handle for the lid when it is open is hard to reach (ends up behind grill), you have to reach up and over the back to get to handle. It's not even visible when it's open. I've burnt myself twice reaching for the handle. I may modify it and relocate the handle closer to the edge of the lid.

2. The pellet screen in the hopper isn't removable without unscrewing it. It requires removing the screws in order to get inside the hopper to help push the pellets out the side door to change pellets out or even to clean out the hopper. I see no reason why the screen couldn't just sit on a shelf inside. I may modify it myself.

3. User manual sucks. It could be worse, but it doesn't have clear instructions on how to change pellets (it was hidden deep in the care and maintenance section), the P setting could be described much better, no suggestions on when to use direct vs indirect heat. It also could do a better job at explaining the startup, e.g. when should you switch from smoke setting to setting a temperature??

Overall it's a nice grill for the price. I think the manufacturer could make a couple simple improvements and I'd rate it a 5/5.

Robby Jacobson : Unbelievable product

This is my first smoker and I love it. Easy to use. The temp control is tough sometimes but I’m a novice smoker so still learning. Plus it’s over 100 degree outside where I live so I think that adds to it. Definitely has changed how I cook meat forever. Love the pit boss!

Bradley Lydon : Great smoker.

Very east to put together, instructions were well written and had great diagrams on what went were, great packing and separation on the small parts, and all parts were labeled in packaging and named by type and label in instructions.

Quick to fire up and clean out. Did a 3 hours burn out on it at near max temp to make sure no oils/grease/packaging was in the system, then did a 2 hour 300f smoke in with the inside covered in seasoning oil(think cast iron seasoning) and the first two smokes were done the next day, with out any issues. For owning less than a week I would highly recommend this to everyone, new and experienced smokers alike.

curtis : No complaints, Great Pellet grill.

First I will admit I did not buy this smoker off amazon but thought my feedback may be helpful to others shopping for one. I'm relatively new to pellet grilling and have only probably used it 10 times but best advice I can give is that for accurate, consistent temp control you need to keep it clean. I vacuum my pit and bottom of the drum out every two grills or temps get wonky. Other than that works great. Not the grills fault just pellet residuals.

Bradley Lydon : Great smoker.
