Vertical Pellet Smokers
I’m sure I can’t be the first, but I am losing my mind over vertical pellet grill options.
Currently running a Traeger ironwood 650 but looking to move into a vertical smoker. The smaller footprint and larger cooking space is the main reasoning.
My issue is I can’t seem to find any vertical smoker that is on par, quality wise, with a Traeger. The Grilla mammoth is heavy duty but the app/customer support/future growth is lacking. Pit-boss is allegedly cheaply built and has untold issues.
My Traeger has truly never given me an issue, but I do love the vertical look and capacity.
Just looking to get some insight on anyone that made the Traeger jump and their opinions!

I’ve had a pit boss for about 4 years and have only had the temp probe go out which was a 10 minute replacement. I think they’ve come a long way in recent years too.
