Wood Pellet

Pellet grills deliver real wood-fired flavor that gas can't replicate. They also offer a wider temperature range for smoking, baking, and searing in one grill. Because the auger and digital controller manage the fire for you, you get consistent heat without babysitting a flame or swapping propane tanks. For the full breakdown, see What Are the Benefits of Using a Pellet Grill Over a Gas Grill?.

It depends on how you cook. Pit Boss is America's #1 Choice for Pellet Grilling, with options ranging from the compact Carbon Series 700 to Wi-Fi-enabled grills like the Navigator 1300 and Sportsman Series 1100. Each delivers the same wood-fired flavor and control at a different size and price point. Not sure which fits your backyard? Our Choosing the Right Size Pellet Grill guide can help.

Start with how often you cook and how many people you typically feed. Pit Boss pellet grills range from:

• 300–500 sq. in. for weeknight and small-household cooking. 
• 700–850 sq. in. for regular entertaining.
• 900+ sq. in. for big gatherings and serious pitmasters.

Yes. Pellet grills burn 100% natural hardwood pellets. That fuel is what produces genuine wood-fired flavor and a real smoke ring. It's the same result you'd get from an offset or drum smoker, without the work of tending a live fire.
