Would like to say, the simple act of just putting the wrapped food in the cooker to show available space told me more about how much this handles than all the other reviews I've seen. Good thinking!
Happened upon your channel about 5 months ago. I had just purchased a Pit Boss Brunswick on super clearance at Wal-Mart for $125! Finally I was at the right place at the right time! They had it clearanced at 50% ($249), plus a manager special of an additional 50%. I could not believe my luck. Well anyways, absolutely love your quirkiness and informative videos. It's very refreshing to find a woman whom loves to bbq, and is easy on the eyes 👀 😊. Keep up the great videos and never lose that unique quirkiness about you.
Thank you for showing the frozen meat. I have watched 100's of videos and I don't recall anyone doing that. Great job!
No problem 😌
Great video Maize, no annoying music in the background whilst narrating. Keep up the good work and your love for BBQ 🍖🌭🥓👍🏻
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for being the first real review of the Brunswick. Cant wait to get mine except they are the PS5 of smokers, never in stock. Do you notice a more "smokey" flavor in the foods smoked in a vertical smoker compared to your horizontal smoker/grills? Thank you and Happy New year.
I feel bad for the people having a hard time finding this model. I got lucky and found 5 of them at my Walmart for $257 on sale!
Just finished with my first smoker on this beast, I love it everything ran smoothly and my ribs came out amazing. I know there's alot of bad reviews on this but if you are capable if doing the basic maintenance this thing will keep you happy.
Subscribed!! My lady just ordered my Brunswick today. Upgrading from my Copperhead.
OMG I just picked one up for 50 percent off a Walmart, thanks for this video 👍🏾
That's an awesome deal!
Cute, she knows her way around a smoker and understands a good "That's what she said" joke.....what a phenomenal woman
Hey Mazie! I've been following you on Instagram since June! Just seen your UA-cam channel and you got a sub from me. It's nice to see other ladies out there! Keep it up and happy grillin'!
Hey!! Just subbed back! Us ladies gotta support each other haha, thanks for finding me on here! I'm excited to watch your videos!
@@bbqbymazie You betcha! Looking forward to seeing some more videos!
Nice video, just curious about the shelves, aren't they all upside down? I always thought the middle support on the shelves was supposed to be on the bottom so you had a flat working surface
Haha yes! I hadn’t cooked on it yet and just got it together. Shelves are flipped now 😉
Have you done a video on how you keep your Brunswick so clean ?
Good Video! Makes me wanna get one but im loving my 1150 right now
You can never have too many 😁
How do I know if fan is working? The light turns red but I don't hear the fan. The cooking chamber gets too full of smoke. I don't see it circulating.
The direction said to add 3/4 cup of water so where do you pour the water into the smoker
There is a water pan right below the lowest shelf
I just ordered one, I hope there are no issues with it due to shipping, that seems to be the major problem with them I'm seeing. Great info, your review is the one that sold me on this smoker.
Mine was shipped and arrived just fine! I hope yours does too!
Mine was all dented up in the back.and the site window was shattered. I took it apart and fixed it but it took half a day. I live in rural VA so I thought this would be easier that trying to return it.
@@ChefKevinRiese I've had mine for almost a year now, I could have spent my money for something better.I'm not impressed.
@@ChefKevinRiese Get a Gravity Grill trust me it will change the way you cook.
Is it dual wall insulated? I am comparing this with the Camp Chef XXL WIFI and I am concerned about pellet usage and maintaining temps on these cold winter days.
Just ordered one. Thanks for the review!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!!
Great video. I was at Lowe’s today checking out the pro series 4 version 2.. but now this Brunswick got me like...huh.
Mr_Wilsons Bbq
Hahah there are so many options!!
What did you end up buying? How do you feel about your choice? Any regrets and wish you’d bought the other one?
Great video!! We will purchasing one of these this spring. Smoke on!!!
That's awesome!! I hope you like it as much as I do!
@@bbqbymazie I am sure we will! Be sure to check out our channel!
Hopefully they’re available by then! I’d get one now if there was stock anywhere
Awesome review... helps me a ton
I’m glad you found it to be helpful!
looks like PitBoss has made a bit of progress with their vertical smoker line with the Brunswick. Aside from the 2 small issues with this (fan and ash cleanout) looks to have been pretty much hassle free? as for the ash cleanout a heavier gauge steel would not warp as easily binding the door as you showed.
keep posting about this model... I am getting close to grabbing one before my pro series ages out
You're right I thing a more durable metal would have solved the ash cleanout issue. I do think this smoker is much improved from the Copperhead's which I had previously. I think it's a very durable, well designed smoker. I've got some longer cooks planned on it so I will post those and see how it does! Thanks for watching!
Are you still happy with this smoker a year later? Very informative video, thank you!
Great job
I am very disappointed in mine I can not get the ash tray out no way I am going to take the pellets out and lay ok n its side to see if some way to loosen the thing . So ill designed !!!!! I have only used 4 times !!!!!
Both? Sounds good to me!
Hey, I'm having problems getting my smoker at a desired temperature without if fluctuating. Do you have any tips for me?
I smoke a good amount of sausage. What is the distance from the top rack to the bottom rack? Just curious how large of casings could be hung?
What is the model number of this smoker? I'm needing wiring diagram and harness for mine but the stickers on mine have worn off.
Issues it’s less than a $500 smoker. It’s not the same quality as a $900 smoker. You get what you pay for like I got a real cheap master bill. The one that I got lucky enough to pick up for $80 and it has issues with the The heating tray that holds the coals in the wood. It bends with the heat. My next one’s gonna be a pellet smoker, but I’m being very picky on the ones I get in looking at all the reviews first like I do want it to be easy to clean out and how they got bolts on this one. That’s kind of gonna make me change my mind and go to this other pit boss I was looking at That’s also a vertical smoker
Your Brunswick’s seems SpotLess in each video. Have you given your secret on how you keep it so clean ?
I honestly haven't cooked anything too messy yet haha. When I cook something with a lot of drippings I plan to put a foil pan on the rack below it. Other than that I should just need to keep the grates clean!
@@bbqbymazie But it seems like there are no smoke stains?
Pretty hands! Nice Manicure!
You seem like a chill person to smoke with
Super chill 😎
I just bought the Pro series 4 and it looks like my ash cleanout is the fire pot.
I'm not familiar with the Series 4 but I do have a video to share soon of me cleaning the Brunswick. Let me know if i can answer anything!
Hi 👋🏽 can you let me know if you had a problem trying to connect to Wi-Fi please help
I honestly don’t connect it to Wi-Fi so I can’t help with that! Sorry!
Hi Mazie, im interested in the pit boss Platinum Lockhart is there any reviews or videos out there on that model. Thank you !
Hey there! I don't have that model but if you join my Facebook group you could ask in there and see what others think!
How wide is the smoker at the base (legs)
Just got mine
Hey! Love my new Brunswick. Where did you get your cover from?
Walmart on line.
Question again......I heard that the New Brunswicks use Magnets on the doors instead of the rods like you have. Your thoughts and what have you heard ?
One door is magnetic and the other one has the metal rods that lock. So they should all be that way!
Thanks so much for the video! I’ve got a small masterbuilt 30” smoker that I’ve had since 2015, and I’m thinking about replacing it. I’m having trouble with rust on my current smoker. The racks, drip pan etc. How easy is the pit boss to keep clean and looking like new? Are the grates coated?
Yes they are but they are awful to clean if you use bbq sauce. They racks are double construction for rigidity but the sauce gets trapped within the rods. I soak mine in a tray for a few hours but you still have to brush out the residue.
I’m in the exact same boat as you..
@@matthewnelson7221 I only used my Brunswick three times and it conked out! Was getting error codes. Tech has sent out a ignighter but now I have to install it. They were supposed to send instructions but didnt.
@@ChefKevinRiese geez, that’s discouraging… I’m nervous about swapping brands, maybe I should look at an MES 40 then. My MES 30 has been great for years but it’s just small.
@@matthewnelson7221 I just spent three hours changing the igniter! I think it was not installed correctly because only about 3/4" inch was in the burn pot. Now its like 2 inch. Maybe that is why there was not much smoke. I think they have a quality control problem because I noticed missing screws and screws not theaded right! Anyway. I just started it up. Wish me well!
Pretty Impressive video Mazie, you definitely get a lot of meat in that unit. How has the app been for you, are you noticing a huge variance in temps compared to the controller?
I haven't noticed any issues but I admittedly don't use it a ton.
This woman is gorgeous
Great video! I know it has a 98 pound hopper, and that's meant to be a good thing, but is it? What's the fuel consumption compared to your other pellet smokers?
Honestly I think the space was there for the hopper so they just used it haha. I don't see it as being an issue though. I certainly won't have to worry about running out of pellets for long cooks. As far as consumption goes I haven't noticed a difference.
Do you know a trick to get the Auger working. I just a brand new one out of the box and the Auger and fan on the back of the motor isn’t working. PB is sending me a new motor but sounds like it’s going to take a while since these are rare as is. Everything else appears to be working fine
I was told I could remove the fan that was hitting the metal. Is that your issue too?
Hello Mazie, was curious to see if you were noticing any temperature fluctuations in your Brunswick? On ~40 degree days, if I leave a probe on the top rack and one of the bottom, I see up to a 50 degree difference.
I also see a pretty big difference between the left and right side of the same rack (like up to 30 degrees).
I'm new to smoking so I am just trying to figure out if this is a common issue or not.
I haven't noticed that issue with mine. The lower rack is of course going to be hotter because it's closer to the fire box. If I am baking something I put the food on the second rack from the top, I feel like that rack gets the most even temperature. If you think yours might have an issue, Pit Boss is responsive on their Facebook Messenger.
Hey BBQ lady , on the Brunswick, does the digital temperature work in 10 degree increments ? On some models it jumps from 250 to 300 without giving the option of 275 ?
Would like to hear more about the “she said he said.”
Shes looking was questions and then doesnt answer them! Odd! Yes 10 deg increments but you probably know that by now.
Question : I have been cooking on a pellet grill for years and the results are great. Never have I used a water pan. While does it seem all of a sudden everything needs to have water pans ? When I wrap my ribs or Boston butt seems that is what ensures the juiciness. Seems with a water pan that you end up “steaming” the meat.
It's my understanding that it helps stabilize the temperature in this smoker. I don't use a water pan in any other smokers.
Love the Brunswick smoker they’ve only problem is as far as I know and Walmart is the only distributor of this model and I have been trying for at least three months you get one Walmart will not let you pre-order it which this is bad news
@@nelsondecker3958 their stock seems to increase in the spring, I would just keep checking here in a few months!
I’ve seen reviews of pellet smokers vs wood burners where it is said that the pellet smokers don’t promote a good smoke ring and impart less smoke flavor. I have a Pro Series Pit Boss with a water pan and have absolutely no problem putting it up agains other types of smokers. My understanding is that the slightly higher humidity that the water pan causes helps the smoke stick to and permeate the meat. So I think the flavor benefit would be mostly for pellet smokers. (And mostly in the 200 - 250 degree range… otherwise the water is boiling off too fast.)
I bought this smoker after watching your video and was just curious have you had the issue where the racks no longer fit in the smoker as it seems like the walls have expanded?
I haven't had this issue and I've used it a lot!
Did you put your racks in upside down, by chance?
Why did you buy the cover for the smoker? I have the same one, but I can't find any covers for it.
Wallmart on line.
Those racks have to be upside down right? Or is that the way they go?
They’re upside down 🙃
I'd really like to know how it performs when smoking in cold weather.
Well it's freezing in Utah and doing great so far!
@@bbqbymazie It holds temp well? Doesn't struggle to get up to 225?
Do have a problem with the paint burning off on the bottom around the burn pot of your Brunswick? Mine from the first time I fired it up started burning off the paint
I haven't noticed any issues with the paint! I did my burn off at 350 and haven't taken it higher than that yet.
Can you tell us where your oder the water pan
Mine came with the water pan.
I was wondering does your Brunswick put out any smoke? I just got mine and I have done two cooks on mine. Mine wasn’t really smoking at 225 degrees. And I couldn’t really taste the smoke flavor. I did ribs witch cooked a little over 4 hours.
Why does she not answer? I had the same problem. It produces a lot of smoke at lower temps only. Use low temps or buy a smoker tube. They work good.
Does the water pan come with the smoker
Yes it does!
How fast does a Brunswick smoker heat up? Someone told me on a regular day, say 70° they can take almost an hour. Is that true?
That's not true for mine, but it does take a bit longer. I would say 15-30 minutes depending on the outdoor temp.
It is slooooooooooooooow! Takes about 45 min to get 250 deg.
How difficult is it to refill the water pan with the drip shield right there? Also, about how long can you cook at 250 before needing to refill the pan?
Not difficult at all. It slides right out.
That was a non answer! I used my Pit Boss yesterday. The tray was full at the start. I smoked for 2 hrs @ 250 and checked the level at 2 hrs. The tray was almost still full. I turned up the heat to 375 for a hour and a half. I then had a grease fire because the grease tray was not cleaned out. After I took the chicken out I noticed the tray was dry! So I would say at high temps you really go thru water! The chicken was still good.
You dont want to slide out the water pan because it is hot as hell. I fill mine using a water hose or planter water can.
Hi. Thanks for the vid. How long does it take to get to temp? Say 250. TIA.
I plan on about 20 minutes from start to 250 which is what I'm usually running this smoker at. In the winter it does take longer, I am in Utah and it gets pretty cold so it's expected!
45 min!
@@ChefKevinRiese thanks. That is sad. Do you have the latest controller? Mine seems to be in the 20 min range.
@@francescocampisano2226 Yeah! I bought it this year.
I dont own one yet but it appears your shelves are upside down.
Any idea if the controller is the same as the 1150PS2? Can it hold low temps in the 200s, unlike the 1150?
Great question! I haven't done a cook below 200 and I generally don't unless I'm doing jerky which I plan to do so I will let you know! I don't have the pro series so I'm not sure if it's the same controller. If you message Pit Boss on Facebook they should be able to answer that though.
@@bbqbymazie how'd the jerky cook go? Were you able to hold temperature under 200°? I just got a Brunswick on clearance yesterday and was planning to make jerky on it. Thanks in advance!
Where can I purchase one
Wallmart on line gave me a good price.
Where do you get this from? I can’t find one anywhere
Walmart should be getting more inventory this Spring!
You said in the video multiple times that you haven't cooked much on it and haven't cooked fatty meats on it. And your doing a review ffs.
So basically three shelves an one for little space🤔🤔
Your racks are upside down lol
Hahaha yes!! I cooked on cast iron and realized later. Fixed now 😉
Lol gotcha how would you rate that cooker? Thinking seriously about getting one. How is the smoke flavor?
@@user-gc4yp1hg8p I really like it! I've been using it a lot more than I expected. I've had no issues with smoke flavor, really happy with it!!
OMG with all that meat you sure are skinny
