How to Decide
Pit Boss is known for its electric vertical cabinet smoker that offers 1,320 sq in of low‑and‑slow cooking space with Wi‑Fi temperature control, and it’s popular among serious smokers and batch cooks. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Traeger Ironwood XL leans on a large wood‑pellet hopper and 924 sq in of space for big‑family gatherings; recteq Deck Boss 900 emphasizes PID‑controlled temperature precision on a mid‑size 955 sq in pellet grill; Weber Searwood 600 is chosen for its high‑heat sear mode that reaches 700 °F on a 600 sq in pellet platform; Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 stands out with gravity‑fed charcoal fuel and a built‑in griddle for true charcoal flavor.
When comparing these options, focus on (1) the fuel source and its impact on flavor and ongoing cost – electric chips for Pit Boss versus wood pellets for Traeger, recteq and Weber, or charcoal for Masterbuilt; (2) maximum temperature capability – Pit Boss tops out at 300 °F, while Weber reaches 700 °F and the others sit in the 400‑500 °F range, affecting searing potential; (3) cooking capacity relative to footprint – Pit Boss provides the largest 1,320 sq in in a vertical cabinet, whereas the others trade space for size or hopper volume; (4) smart connectivity implementation – all offer Wi‑Fi apps, but differences include dedicated temperature‑control boards (Traeger’s WiFIRE, recteq’s PID, Weber’s iGrill, Masterbuilt’s digital fan) that influence ease of remote monitoring and temperature stability.
