Since they are sold out of covers. What are you using for a cover? A comparable PittBoss is $899 and near as I can tell doesn't come with the sausage rack, which is my main reason for buying a vertical smoker. I need room to hang sausages, hams and bacon.
I have a pit boss 4 series vertical smoker and this is one of the early series that doesn't have the vents on the sides. Im looking at this one but its the price for me. The Mammoth has so much more room though I'm just going to have to save up. Thank you for your honest review
I'm thinking of purchasing this to replace my 42" Masterbuilt upright electric smoker with a cold smoke box. Love the Masterbuilt, but the heating element and control panel dies. I'm on my third one, and the control panel is about to fail again. I'm willing to spend more for an electric smoker that will last and consistently smokes from start to finish. Hence, the extra smoke box I have on the Masterbuilt. Without it, it will smoke for about 2 hours, and you'd have to add more wood. I have to watch videos on how to maintain pellet smokers. Coming from an electric smoker where a heating element controls the temperature and you just dump the ash tray and grease pan. To something that operates a bit differently. Good presentation, and thanks for those details.
@webersbbq No, I'm in Colorado on the front range. Pure facts what you were saying about the wind. East of here is always windy. I just get a lot of snow. And I'm starting to think my smoker isn't designed for cooking in cold weather. Or it's just cheaply made. My new discovery is that the Bluetooth application isn't supported. It's okay, it's time for an upgrade. And unbiased materials like yours dictate what products are out there, and if i can make it work for my scenario. My buddies have Treger and PittBoss, but they too also have little things that go wrong with them. I would really like a traditional smoker, but due to where I'm located, I must have a controlled device. So, electric smoker is what I have to work with. I agree, a handle would be nice for the Mammoth, too.
For $1000 this should be 100% stainless steel. Rust is completely unacceptable for a smoker that is only 30 days old. Someone in the finance department (bean counter) got a hold of this and over-rode the decisions from the engineers.
Thanks for taking the time to review! We love the feedback.
Has the rusting issue been addressed, any changes in construction or materials?

I would love to hear what customer service says about the rust. Was the powder coating compromised?
I have a camp chef xxl pro and it is rusting too. Im thinking about selling it and get this one.
Great video buddy! Wish Grilla would get more reviews like this out there. Where is the internal ambient probe located?
Thanks for the comment. The probe is located in the back of the chamber towards the left if you are looking into the chamber.

Did they ever address the rust you were seeing?
Can you please post links or product names for the pellets you're using?
Great review man! So here’s my question- I’m torn between ordering the Mammoth, or the Recteq Flagship 1100. Which would you go with and why?
Did you ever hear from them regarding the rust?

How did the food taste compared to your other smokers?
Thinking of getting one of these not 1000% sure
Camp chef vertical or this one ?

Dayum $999?
These are never ever ever in stock. Vaporware?
They have got to put a latch on that pellet hopper ! Cutting corners .And also for that price it should be powder coated for fact 🎉🎉🎉😡
Agreed
