#Pit boss heat deflector upgrade#

On the Traeger the smoke comes up from the burn pot and goes out the top of the smoker through the smokestack.

The smoke exhaust design is an interesting difference between these grills. The Pit Boss has a better warranty, higher top temperature, more cooking surface, a larger hopper and is about $200 less expensive than the Traeger. Here are the important details about the two grills: Model The Traeger Pro 22 is extremely similar in size and function to the 700 Classic. The Pit Boss 700 is a Walmart exclusive grill that can also be found on Amazon at times and is one of the popular grills in the Pit Boss lineup. Let’s take a look at the head to head comparison of some of these grills and see which one you like the most. If you want to see some higher end grills from Traeger then check out their Gen 2 Pro, Ironwood and Timberline grills. If you want to see some higher end grills from Pit Boss then check out the Lockhart Platinum and KC Combo. We will be looking at two traditional pellet grills from Pit Boss and the two lowest end grills by Traeger.

Instead, we are going to focus on the two most obvious head to head comparisons. It looks to me that Pit Boss has gotten serious about making high quality pellet grills and isn’t interested in just being the cheapest player in the market.īoth Pit Boss and Traeger have lots of different models and this review will not attempt to cover them all.

However, in 2018 Pit Boss made a serious upgrade to their warranty and in 2019 launched the Pro Series Pellet Grills that impressed the heck out of me. If you read the comments section at the bottom of this post you will see that for a few years I did not recommend Pit Boss. Traeger’s are expensive and the Pit Boss looks nice. So you want to get a pellet grill and are torn between a Traeger and a Pit Boss.
