I had a Laredo. I found the wifi too sketchy and I don't like that heat shield. This is true for their grills. The slide plate is heavy. When the grill cools the grease solidify and its a pain to separate the two pieces. I like my series 3 vertical from Pit Boss. If I were to upgrade the Sportsman 7 would be my go to. A cabinet , no wifi to mess with, huge hopper, multi-adjustable grate levels and takes less space than a grill as its vertical. I like my pit boss and 3 is the one I found works best. Excellent product and they will not bankrupt you.

I just bought one at wallmart for half price ($300) . Kept getting an error code ,opened the auger axcess door and a wire wasn't even clipped together ,no biggie , did the burn off process that afternoon , that night I went to cook a steak and it takes forever to get to the high heat (500°) only could get it to 477°. My old pitboss would get to 550- 575, ( I like to sear my steaks) and the fan sounded like it was a more powerful fan. The fan on the new one sounds wimpy. Also on smoke mode the new one don't seem to generate as much smoke. On another note the pellet removal shoot on the back doesn't let all pellets out you have to use a paint stir stick to shove the ones from front out. Wish I had kept my old one for cooking steaks but the wife was in such a big hurry to get it out of here so I gave it to a friend that can't afford one (thanks honey). Do you have any suggestions what to do or if there is a problem with it ? Please and thank you for your feedback in advance.

@@DeadBrokeBBQ I opted to take it back before the second board got to me. I went to Walmart and swapped it out for a brand new one. The new one seems to be working a lot better but still took about 30 minutes to reach 377° f. I have to say it is a much improvement over the hour for the 400. I do notice that this one starts up a lot quicker than the previous one but once it gets to a certain temperature it climbs very slowly. Also I have noticed if I set it to 400 it runs 360 380 range and hardly ever gets to 400. For it to reach 400 I have to set it at 450 or H. It seems to be spot on with the lower temps for example if I set it to 200 it does that +-10 which is phenomenal. But I like to do high temp Cooks more than I'd like to do smokes and that's the issue I'm running into. I used to have a pro series first generation and it was excellent for high temperature Cooks as well as low and slow smokes. I have a whole 90 days to take it back if it doesn't meet my standards if that's the case I will be looking at the 1150. Thanks for your response I really appreciate it.

Why is this smoker cheaper than the pro series 850?
@DeadBrokeBBQ2 жыл бұрын
I really can't even answer that because it does have a lot of similar features!?!?! Nice pit but I think I would pick the Pro Series over this model even if 1000 is a little less money! Thanks for watching!!

Heck ya Mark, nice to just shut it off and let it cool down without remembering to turn the dial! Thanks for watching brother!

Sorry, one more comment. Everybody grunts and groans about all the stickers. I get the point. If you take the time and work them they come off easy enough. Also think WD-40. It works wonders on those gummy things. Old school trick for removing price stickers.

Yes it is easy to remove but it is silly to put them on just incase the Walmart or Lowes fella grabs one for the show model. Put the stickers in the bag with the manual or use the magnet kind! Again thanks for watching!!

I watched this before buying my Laredo. I went a bit anal by doing an hour at 200°, then 30 minutes each increasing 50° until 350°. Had a couple of cooks on it and no issues so far (knock wood)!

@@DeadBrokeBBQ I run mines at 180 for a few hours before I turn it up when I’m smoking meats. Salmon or fish I do 30 min on 180 then I crank it to 225. Great smoke flavor.

Ya know the crazy thing is your actually paying a bit more ( ok just a few cents more) so they can have someone mess up your new cooker with those damm stickers. It's like your paying someone to vandalize your property so they can advertise something you have already purchased ( as if seeing the decals will encourage you to immediately go out and purchase a second one?) Proof that it's a crazy world. Here's a idea. They should make the decals at least easier to come off but also be some kind of coupon for a case of beer discount for all the additional effort you had to deal with the damm stickers. I know, not going to happen but it's a happy thought anyway. Sooooo keep your stick on the ice and have a great day. ( yeah I'm a fan of the old Red Green show.) 😁👍🌤🏒🍻
