I got my PB 2 series electric smoker on Sunday and assembled it last night. It seems like it is well built. Saturday I will season it, and Sunday it will be brisket time.
I've been rocking a Recteq(the name changed) 700 for over a year. Different price point than the PB, but a great product.
Knocked out another brisket over the weekend, getting consistent outstanding results...

That looks delicious. Is Pit Boss what replaced Rectec?
No, Rectec changed to Recteq.

Got our PB cleaned out and tried smoking another pork butt, no issues this time with flame outs. Still doesn't smoke like a stick burner but is very easy. We'll just use it as as a grill because as a smoker if you like bark and a deep smoke ring, you won't get that from a pellet smoker imo.
Let us know how it works. That's the series that I'm looking at also.
Yep, that's all the smoke ring I can get too. And if there's not a piece of that ring in the pulled mix, there's zero smoke taste.
Now considering the RecTeq. Ugh, decisions decisions... I'm thinking I should get one with the WiFi feature and that if I don't, I'll regret it later down the road.
More electronics means a better chance for failure. A few years ago I had a digital smoker and after using it only a couple of times the digital module died.
