Pit Boss PB1150G PG1150G Wood Pellet Grill w/Cover and Folding Front Shelf Included, 1150 sq. inch, Black

This is my first Pellet Grill, and holy cow... it is great. I have made homemade pizzas, cinnamon rolls, ribs, chicken wings, tenders, breasts, entire chickens, turkey breasts, desserts, vegetables, pulled pork, briskets etc. and the grill does not disappoint.Is it absolutely perfect? no. I've had mild difficulty regulating temperature- sometimes its 25-50Degrees too warm or too cold, but it is easy to regulate that by adjusting the temp- IF ITS OFF, its consistently off. I've never had a problem adjusting to discrepancies in the temperature- ever.A Few things I love about this is the surface area. Fwiw, I took out the top shelf almost immediately. it makes the lower shelf almost unusable unless youre doing hot dogs and burgers and maybe some ribs if youre laying them flat. The surface are is huge, even without the top shelf. I also love that it comes with a front shelf - thats huge considering you have to pay $100 for that shelf from traeger. Its hopper is massive- way bigger than traeger.The digital temperature dial is good, but I wish it had 25 degree increments instead of SOME 25 and SOME 50 degree increments. But it has never caused me trouble preparing food.It is very sturdy in my estimation. Most grills if you have to move them bend or even break but this has been far more sturdy than other grills I've handled.The searing option is awesome- never had any trouble getting great sear marks on steaks etc.Ultimately, Traeger may be better. BUT I have no regrets purchasing this beast for HUNDREDS of dollars less than the comparable Traeger Grill. I've cooked for 30+ people on this thing at one time, and its an absolute BOSS. Love this grill.If youre drowning in cash, sure, go get the traeger, but keep in mind it MIGHT be 10-15% better for 40% more $$$$. I'll keep my $$ and grill some killer meat on my Pit Boss. Highly recommend

This is my first pellet grill. I did a lot research as settled on the Navigator 1150 because it had all the options I wanted and was big enough for a family feast. The Amazon delivery team was flawless. They contacted me and advised on EOT, were right on time and put this 200lb huge box on my patio. OK I will admit the construction looked daunting at first. The instructions were good and with the help of my wife in lifting the barrel in place it was done in an hour. Now the food test: if you read the simple instructions its simple to create BBQ masterpiece's. First test included NY Strips, burgers, chicken thighs and veggies cooked all at once. After I understood how the searing process the steaks were perfect. The chicken smoked on the side, burgers on the other and veggies on top. All I had to do after searing the steaks is set the temperature and walk away. I had put one temp reader in the largest steak and the other in a chicken thigh. They were accurate and the food was perfectly smoky delicious. I got the good grill marks on the steaks and the other food all had good color. This was so much more simple then using my old smoky mountain or propane grill that I got rid of both. I am a pellet grill believer now after cooking Texas brisket, chops and country ribs. Looking forward to smoking the Thanksgiving turkey. I highly recommend this grill!

I purchased my pitboss on Oct. 2022. I also spent the extra $100+ for the wifi Bluetooth controller. All in all over $1,000 spent. The controller went out after 1 year, would not fire up the grill and there was no digital display. The temp controls are in 50 degree increments, and it’s a chore to clean out the burn box, having to completely disassemble the guts of it for access. If you turn the heat up to use the sear plate, you’re just asking for a fire, been there done that. Now the auger is starting to make grinding noises it never did before. Not worth the money. After all my research I went against my own logic on this purchase. I should’ve bought a Traeger

Waste of money. Horrible hot spots, inconsistent temps, always direct heat, grilling with sear plate open causes fires. 1150 square inches of wasted area. The top rack is too close to the bottom rack so you can’t reach the back row of food on the bottom rack without moving the front row first. Traeger got it right on their tall oval shaped body. This thing is a waste of money and Amazon doesn’t give you a way to return it.Oh and the temperature probes are not even close to accurate. Buy a real grill or smoker.

This has been good so far.

The grill works great. - easy and quick startup like a gas grill with the smokey flavor of a charcoal grill - best of both worlds! No flare ups, sears red meats great, smokes slow, can use as an oven for cooking as well - don't have to heat or smoke up the house! Love the grill!On Amazons ad, it said free delivery AND setup - the delivery service said it was not listed as to be installed. Amazon'r customer service claimed its only available "sometimes" - no idea what that means. But their suggestions was send it back and reorder - which the price had gone up and addition $50 and I'd have to wait another 2 weeks. Amazon sucks for delivery on these types of items sucks and their customer service sucks as well! Assembly took about 1 1/2 hrs by myself, pretty clear directions but the main grill may be heavy for one person to life onto the assembled stand.

I had a small Traeger before this Pitboss. With the cover, front shelf, and side shelf this is a steal of a deal. Plus it's HUGE!
