#MASTERBUILT ANALOG ELECTRIC SMOKER SERIES#
There are two versions of the Silver Star digital electric smoker, the 2 Series and the 3 Series. Many of these problems will be become magnified when the smoker has an analog control system that must be manually adjusted to adapt to different weather conditions. There are inherent problems with electric smokers in general such as difficulty generating enough smoke at the right temperature, slow heat up times and difficulty maintaining temperatures in cold weather. While these smokers get low ratings I don’t entirely blame Pit Boss. Personally I would not encourage someone to purchase a product that 30% of owners didn’t like and less than 60% gave it a 5 star rating. I do need to point out that the relatively low number of reviews does not make this a robust data set so take these values with a grain of salt. The reviews on the Pit Boss website are mixed up with the reviews for their Copperhead vertical pellet smokers so they really were not useful.Īll told I found 68 reviews (current November 24, 2020) and here is what they look like.Ĭombining the 58% 5 Star reviews with the 12% 4 Star reviews indicates that 70% of buyers were happy with this smoker and 30% were not. I was able to find a couple of reviews at Walmart and a few some more at Amazon. These smokers have been around for a few years now and there are very few customer reviews to be found on the Internet.
#MASTERBUILT ANALOG ELECTRIC SMOKER HOW TO#
The biggest feature to understand about these smokers is that they have an analog control system which means you will have to spend some time learning how to dial in the temperature you want. There is a water tray inside the main cooking chamber and a tray for wood chips that slides out for easy refilling while you are smoking. These smokers are powered by a 1650 watt heating element that lets these cookers operate between 100F and 325F. The MSRP on the Blue Blazing Series 3 is $229.The MSRP on the Blue Blazing Series 2 is $199.The respective cooking area is 593 versus 791 square inches. The only difference between the two smokers is that the 2 Series has three cooking grids while the taller 3 Series has four. There are two versions of the Blue Blazing analog electric smoker, the 2 Series and the 3 Series. I wanted to share the information I have on this new product line so I put together this Pit Boss Electric Smoker review. Pit Boss has four vertical electric smokers, two with digital controls (Silver Series) and two with analog controls (Blue Series). Pit Boss made a big splash in the barbecue scene when they went after Traeger by selling low cost their pellet grills and now they are going after Masterbuilt by selling low cost electric smokers.
