Pit Boss Navigator 6-Series Vertical Pellet Smoker with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Massive Wood-Fired Smoking Capacity with Smart Control

Take large-batch smoking to the next level with the Pit Boss Navigator 6-Series Vertical Pellet Smoker, available online and in-store at You Need A BBQ in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

With an impressive 2,224 square inches of total cooking space, five adjustable porcelain-coated cooking racks and a massive 75 lb. pellet hopper, the Navigator 6-Series is built for long smoking sessions, large family gatherings, meal preparation and serious backyard barbecue.

Its vertical cabinet design provides exceptional cooking capacity without requiring the patio space of a wide horizontal grill. Load it with brisket, pork shoulders, ribs, chicken, turkey, jerky, sausage, snack sticks, fish, smoked cheese, vegetables and side dishes.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity lets you monitor and adjust the smoker through the Pit Boss Grills app, giving you wood-fired flavour with convenient digital control. The smoker operates from approximately 130°F to 420°F, allowing you to move from controlled jerky and sausage smoking to brisket, ribs and higher-temperature poultry cooking.

2,224 Square Inches of Cooking Space

The Navigator 6-Series provides a towering 2,224 square inches of total cooking capacity across five adjustable porcelain-coated racks.

Its large vertical cabinet is designed to fit up to two full-sized foil pans on each rack, allowing you to cook several proteins, side dishes or large batches during the same smoking session.

Use the available space for:

• Multiple briskets or pork shoulders

• Large batches of homemade jerky

• Sausage, pepperoni and snack sticks

• Several racks of pork or beef ribs

• Whole chickens and turkeys

• Wings and chicken thighs

• Smoked fish and seafood

• Macaroni and cheese, beans and casseroles

• Smoked nuts, cheese and vegetables

• Meal preparation and event cooking

Keep all five racks installed for jerky, wings and smaller foods, or remove selected racks to create additional clearance for large cuts, whole poultry and deep foil pans.

Built for Homemade Jerky

The large multi-rack cooking chamber makes the Navigator 6-Series an excellent choice for producing homemade jerky.

Jerky strips require plenty of surface area and room for heat and smoke to circulate. Five adjustable racks let you arrange a substantial amount of meat in a single layer without stacking or overlapping the pieces.

Use the Navigator 6-Series for properly prepared jerky made from:

• Beef

• Pork

• Deer

• Moose

• Elk

• Venison

• Other suitable wild game

The smoker’s low starting temperature provides flexibility for controlled smoking and drying. Always follow the seasoning manufacturer’s instructions for curing, refrigeration, preparation and cooking.

Pair It with Mickey Jay’s Jerky Seasonings

Complete your jerky setup with Mickey Jay’s Jerky Seasoning and Cure Kits, available from You Need A BBQ.

Each kit includes separately packaged curing salt and enough seasoning to prepare approximately seven pounds of meat.

Excellent for Sausage and Snack Sticks

The tall cabinet and adjustable rack system also make the Navigator 6-Series a practical smoker for sausage, pepperoni and snack sticks.

Depending on your recipe and smoker configuration, use it for:

• Fresh smoked sausage

• Garlic sausage

• Farmer sausage

• Summer sausage

• Kielbasa

• Pepperoni

• Snack sticks

• Wild-game sausage

The vertical chamber allows fan-forced heat and hardwood smoke to circulate around the food while the large front door provides convenient access.

Always use a tested recipe and follow the correct curing, refrigeration, handling and cooking procedures for the product being prepared.

Five Adjustable Porcelain-Coated Racks

The five-rack system can be configured for different foods and batch sizes.

Use all five racks for jerky, chicken wings, fish, vegetables and smaller items. Remove or reposition racks when additional vertical clearance is needed for brisket, pork shoulders, roasts, poultry or large foil pans.

The adjustable layout allows you to:

• Smoke multiple jerky flavours at once

• Separate mild and spicy batches

• Cook proteins and side dishes together

• Prepare large quantities for gatherings

• Smoke several racks of ribs

• Use full-sized foil pans

• Create space around larger cuts

• Organize foods with different cooking times

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth App Control

The Navigator 6-Series includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity through the Pit Boss Grills app.

Connected controls allow you to:

• Monitor the smoker temperature

• Adjust the selected cooking temperature

• Track internal food temperature

• Check long cooks from your phone

• Receive cooking updates

• Spend less time standing beside the smoker

The smoker includes one meat probe and three probe ports, allowing you to expand your temperature-monitoring setup for several foods or large cuts.

130°F to 420°F Temperature Range

The digital controller offers an operating range of approximately 130°F to 420°F.

Use lower settings for controlled smoking projects such as jerky, sausage, fish and smoked cheese. Increase the temperature for brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, poultry, casseroles and other dishes.

The broad temperature range makes the Navigator 6-Series suitable for:

• Jerky and snack sticks

• Sausage and pepperoni

• Brisket and pork shoulder

• Ribs

• Chicken and turkey

• Fish and seafood

• Smoked cheese and nuts

• Vegetables and side dishes

• Casseroles and desserts

Massive 75 lb. Pellet Hopper

The 75 lb. pellet hopper provides the fuel capacity needed for extended smoking sessions and large-batch cooking.

A large hopper means fewer interruptions while preparing brisket, pork shoulder, jerky, sausage or food for a large gathering. The hopper sight glass lets you check the remaining pellet level without opening the lid.

The hopper cleanout system also makes it easier to remove or change pellet flavours between cooks.

Actual pellet consumption depends on the selected temperature, outdoor conditions and the type of hardwood pellets being burned.

Large Front Viewing Window

The large front viewing window lets you check food without repeatedly opening the smoker door.

Keeping the door closed helps retain heat, moisture and smoke, providing a more stable cooking environment during long sessions.

This is especially useful when smoking:

• Jerky

• Sausage and snack sticks

• Brisket

• Pork shoulder

• Ribs

• Chicken and turkey

The high-temperature cabinet-door seal helps reduce unwanted heat and smoke loss around the door.

Fan-Forced Convection Cooking

The Navigator 6-Series uses fan-forced convection to circulate heat and hardwood smoke throughout the vertical cabinet.

This airflow helps distribute heat between the racks and surrounds the food with wood-fired flavour.

Rack placement, food quantity and outdoor conditions can still create temperature differences within a large smoker, so rotating racks may be helpful during some batch cooks.

Rapid Ignition and Simple Cleanup

The rapid ignition system helps get the smoker running sooner, while its grease- and ash-management features simplify cleanup after long cooks.

Convenient features include:

• Rapid automatic ignition

• Rear-access grease drawer

• Easy ash-management system

• Hopper cleanout

• Chimney-style exhaust

• Four caster wheels

• High-temperature door seal

• Pellet-level sight glass

• Heavy-duty construction

These features help make large smoking sessions easier to start, manage and clean up afterward.

Protect It with the Matching Cover

The fitted cover is made from heavy-duty polyester with a PVC backing. It provides full-length coverage, UV protection and colour-fast stitching designed for year-round outdoor use.
