Pellet Pro Vertical Smoker Burn Off

[@charcoalcharger5601]

That’s a cool looking pellet smoker. Looks like it’s better built than a lot of the others. The 3 temp gauges in the door would definitely be nice.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Oh ya Brad this cooker is twice the pit as a lot of the box store verticals. So much room and purrs like a kitten!! I have 3 cooks under my belt and they all turned out fantastic!! Thanks for watching brother and I hope you are having a great weekend!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I can't remember ever seeing a pellet smoker with that much cooking area! That is a huge plus, especially for the comp guys. Great review Jeff! Looking forward to seeing how the brisket turns out! I have a feeling, it's gonna turn out perfect!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Y a Rus this cooker needs to hit the air waves more because this thing just runs! I am so impressed with how stable it is and how efficiently it runs!! Yes the comp guys and the small catering companies could use this cooker's extra capacity for sure! One of these days I need to load it up and put it through the test!! I have done 3 cooks on it so far with some pretty big chunks of meat in it and they all look like dwarfs in it!! haha All 3 cooks turned out spot on with zero problems, I feel like I am really cheating with this pit and I am excited to share them real soon! Thanks for watching Rus and I hope you are enjoying your weekend!!

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

There’s a huge amount of features to like about that smoker, they’ve really thought through the design well not to mention the temp accuracy. Tons of cooking space too for comps, parties or catering. Now I’m looking forward to the brisket! Got an ad for turning my hair blond, boy they know me well. Awesome job brother!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Hahahahaha wow I got some good adverts!!! hahaha Ya Charley this rig is huge and so simple to run! Very impressed with the temps and how fast it responds!! One of these days I will fill it up and do a video on full capacity! Very excited to push this one to the limits but my guess it will crush anything I put in it! Thanks for watching brother and i hope you are having a great weekend!

Awesome Job and reveiw. Thanks for the shout out LOL. Really like my smoke daddy Vertical. Again awesome job on the video.

Great video, I just got my vertical from Smoke Daddy last week. I added the outlet to my order and they installed it at the factory before sending it to me. Just an FYI

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Awesome and welcome to the Pellet Pro Vertical club!! Great cooker and so far I have 3 pretty dang good cooks off it! Ya I have the outlet here but I want to add it to a video so the next time I film on that cooker I will hook it up!! Thanks for watching and welcome to the Dead Broke BBQ family!!

My Z grillz runs like a champ i clean it out after every use and it holds its temp perfectly :) I'll be smoking Ribs for Christmas Eve so everyone can have some good BBQ to eat while we open presents at my in-laws, going to do 6 slabs :)

[@garytingler3222]

Jeff, Russ Jones turned me on to your channel, I have been checking out some of your older video's. I have been smoking on the Pellet Pro for over a year now. I have had several smokers. The Pellet Pro is the best one I have ever owned. I found the gauges to being pretty close on temps. Mine does not have the circulating fan. I am going to check and see if I can retrofit one to it. Great customer service also.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Thanks for coming over Gary!! Oh ya both my Pellet Pro's do a great job! Best cookers in my line up at the moment hands down!! They hold temps and run pretty efficient on pellet consumption! The vertical is my favorite to use and with that heavy d insert I can get some great added smoky flavor!! I appreciate you joining the Dead Broke BBQ family!! I got more Smoke Daddy cooks planned but I got a few new cookers in and I need to get some content out on them also!! Thanks for watching!!

[@patrickmchugh4894]

Great 👌 review I was interested in the 1190 but after seeing the vertical I'm more pumped over it and the cost is not that much more than the 1190. Thanks again

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Thanks Pat!! I really like both the 1190 and the vertical!!! Hard to choose but you just want a smoker the vertical is where I would go! Now if you want to do a little grilling also I would say get the 1190 and the sear direct grilling accessory. A kettle and the vertical if I had to make a choice!! I got 3 cooks in and all 3 turned out fantastic!!! Thanks for watching bro!!

[@blitzd13]

Any suggestions on how to cook with this in the rain?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Get a cheap pop up Joel and stake it down. I did use in the past a heavy duty umbrella that I strapped to the pit (not this one) but it didn't work if it was storming so I rolled that pit in the garage just under the eve with the door open and a fan blowing the smoke out of the garage. Thanks for watching!

[@thegalleryBBQ]

lol..... Are sausage thumbs worst than 4 thumbs. lol Good stuff brother. I think Tom Horsmen has this pit and loves it. Looking forward to that Brisket!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Hahaha about the same Tommy!! Yes Tom has this vertical also!! Certainly is a top notch pellet smoker!! Thanks for watching brother and have a great week!

[@Rbouch]

Awesome review.....I’m also looking at Smokin Brothers pellet grills....any knowledge of them?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I have seen their pits but have no experience running one of them yet. I don't think I ever saw if they have a vertical but I know they have a couple standard designs. Thanks for watching Robert and I got a few cooks on this pit coming soon! Plus my next video is on the Pellet Pro 1190 and that prime rib might be the best I ever did! Have a great weekend!

[@Frank6289]

Do you notice any additional smoke flavor on this vertical pellet smoker vs a pellet grill?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Hi Frank!! I notice a big difference when i use the Heavy D insert! Plus a little more because of the way this camber holds the smoke in it!! All it can basically do is go up and out!! Horizontals can not make up to this style but smoke flavor really depends on the pit you are using now. My UDSs well they always have plenty of smoke flavor, my kettles well you haven't been cooking long enough if you can't say you have over smoked something a time or 2. This pit will still never over smoke anything but it has out did all my other pellet cookers still to date!! Thanks for watching and if you are interested tell Smoke Daddy Ricer sent ya!! They are GREAT people bro!!!

[@GrillingwithGrove]

I can’t find a lot of videos with this cooker can you do some more cooks on it and explain how you like/dislike it. I am trying to figure out if i should get one

For the price, it seems like the pellet pro line is pretty good. I think I like the looks of the 1190 over this one though myself...the 1190 is a good buy?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Heck ya I love my 1190!! That controller is awesome on that pit and it does a pretty dang good job on the smoke flavor too. I will say that the 2300 has a little more smoky flavor profile than the 1190! Thanks for watching brother!

Up in Merrill, there is an annual charity rib competition. I've always wanted to compete, but the 50 racks of ribs would be overwhelming with my Traeger and Pit Boss.

Wow 50 racks? Most of them I have been at are around 10-12 racks. The new 2300 has 7 available spots for grates and would only hold 28 racks of baby backs.

Hey Ricer, you said a fan wasnt working when first started burn in so you had to lay it down and fix the fan. I am heading home with my 2300 so which fan do I need to be aware of?

I'm still not much of a fan of pellet cookers but don't dislike them either. I did like the grills, stainless steel and NOT expanded steel ( expanded is such a pain in the ass when cleaning) And the vertical design shows promise. Great vid, keep up the great work. 👍🍻

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Oh ya I agree Victor I prefer to cook with wood or charcoal but the pellet rigs are here to stay and they have helped elevate bbq where a lot more people are now cooking for themselves. Obviously nothing tastes better than a smoked briskets with some sticks but I have had some pretty good Q off these pellet poopers also. 3/4 of my friends now have these type of grills before the only time they ain't bbq is if they were at my house or went out to get a rack a ribs at some chain restaurant. Plus now that they have gotten the basics down a couple of them have been talking about getting an offset and 10 years ago a couple of these guys couldn't microwave popcorn!!! hahaha Thanks for watching brother and have a great weekend!

[@victorbenner539]

@@DeadBrokeBBQ thanks for the reply. Just so I'm not misunderstood, I'm not against pellet smokers. In fact both my brothers and my mother have pellet smokers so I don't consider them a abomination ( although it can be a great amount of amusement to give folks a good ribbing. Fyi I'm thinking of getting a pet rabbit and naming it " Traeger". I'm guessing some folks will make the humorous connection 😃. ) Anyways I agree with Harry Soo " it's not the pit, it's the pitmaster " As a side bar it's my intention to finally join you good fellows and start my Y Tube channel by the first of the year. Little Bubba's Smokehouse will be the channel name and it will include farm field to table via the Smokehouse cooks. I have something special ordered from Lonestargrillz I'm looking to receiving in mid February and will be showing in a vid or two. Anyway, I apologize for going on so much. Have a great day and I am interested in seeing you do a cook in the vertical. So again have a great day. 😃🍻👍

Awesome Victor! Ya I want a stick burner again!! When I moved to town I left mine at the farm. Nothing special (hand built) but worked pretty good. Problem the frame was concreted in the ground, I thought it was a great idea at the time!! ha ha Awesome what did you order from LSG? I want the 20" x 42" design with a half inch insulated firebox. Hoping by this summer/fall I am burning sticks again!!! Good luck on your YT adventure, takes time and a lot of patience but in time you grow and get a little pay back! Keep me posted brother!

@@DeadBrokeBBQ I will definitely keep you posted on the Y Tube thing. My biggest problem currently is that I'm a cave man when it comes to the tech. But I'm learning and putting together my equipment. I hate to be a tease ( well , not really) but I'm holding off on what I'm getting from Lonestargrillz until the reveal, in February. It's a big leap in cookers for me but I recently got my business license so I can legstart my catering/ food trailer business and get out of driving truck so let's just say this new cooker will definitely increase my cooking capacity.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I might be interested?!?!?! Ya the tech side is crazy. 2 ways to think about it. Video and Audio. People can accept poor video but more people click off if the audio is bad. You probably heard the difference in the audio in this video. Took me 4 hours just to get that crap fixed good enough so your ears wouldn't bleed! So I always say you can film with your phone but get a good lav so the audio is decent!! I just bought TODAY a 2nd Rode Wireless Go so I my odds of good audio does not happen!! I started with 2 iPhones and an iMac. Now I have 3 Sony Alpha's and 1 Sony ZV1. I only have 75 videos and got 13k subscribers in 1 1/2 years of actually uploading videos. Last year took 3 months off to coach football. I tell everyone you just have to press record. You got this Victor and there are a ton of videos out there on how to get started!!

It looks good but we are in 2021...so that controller could be wifi. Controlling from your phone the whole time it's just "normal" today...

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Ya their Patriot controller is wifi but I prefer using my thermoworks signals to watch my cook instead so I went with the standard PID. The only wifi controller on a pellet grill that I would trust are the ones that use a fireboard system. The rest are made in china and are not always as accurate as what I expect from a probe, plus I like to check my cooks every couple hours. I know it is fun to go on a motorcycle ride and start up your pellet grill from the bar but I don't own a motorcycle anyways so this controller works great for us old farts that grew up with a Tel-Tru lid thermometer and an old analog meat probe.
