Pit Talk -- Comments and Questions Regarding These Pellet Pits > Dansons/Country Smokers...Louisana Grills...Pit Boss
Picked up a new toy
BrandonLutz:
Recently decided to get a vertical cabinet smoker to start taking on the local competitions with me instead of having to lug around my very heavy Grid Iron smoker. After a lot of research, I decided to go with the 7 Series Copperhead from Pit Boss.
Unfortunately, as soon as I ordered it, I came down with Covid, so other than the burn off period, I have yet to test it out cook wise. From what I could tell, during the burn off it held temps really well, so I have good hopes for this unit. Hopefully by this weekend I'm better and I can cook something on it before I drag it off to the next competition I'm in next Friday. I'm thinking a nice Pork Butt will be a good test for it. I'm also pleased at how well it matches my existing Blazn Grill color so it matches well when they are side by side.

Do not let it out in the rain. Unfortunately, I did. Water got into the pellet dump door and long story short jammed the pellet auger. I haven't fixed it yet. It's been about 3 years.

I have the cover on order for it and it will always be kept under my patio. I'm pretty religious about watching the weather and making sure I cover up the grills to make sure that doesn't happen.

I enjoyed Product testing that unit! I think it was a tad smaller then yours, but it was a versatile smoker!

I did the same thing and it was not fun clearing it. I have had the 5 series for about 5-6 years and love it. Thinking about buying the 7 as we speak. You will enjoy it.
