Are Pit Boss Grills Worth the Money?
Pit Boss grills and barbecues are excellent value for money, with prices starting at around the £500 mark you’re getting some serious bang for your buck and here’s why. We would describe Pit Boss wood pellet grills as outdoor ovens that can smoke food as well as cooking it evenly to accurate temperatures. They are the most versatile BBQs on the market today and can produce better results than standard gas & charcoal barbecue grills.
If you’re searching for a barbecue with a high level of control & performance then a wood pellet grill from Pit Boss is absolutely worth the money. The drawback is that you will likely pay a little bit more than you would for a standard charcoal or gas BBQ.

How Long is the Pit Boss Warranty?
All Pit Boss Grills are backed by a 5-year warranty and the griddles come with a 2-year warranty. The warranty begins at the date of the sale and covers you against any workmanship defects on parts and any electrical components.
The average Pit Boss pellet grill should last between 7-10 years, depending on how often it is maintained and how it is covered when not in use. A cheaper pellet grill would likely only last between 2-4 years, cheap materials used are more likely to malfunction or wear down over time.
Pit Boss grills use high-quality steel when constructing each pellet grill. They are super easy to maintain and clean, which helps produce a consistent and flavourful smoky taste to your food without too much effort. To get the best out of your Pit Boss grill and to ensure it lasts a long time ensure the correct fuel is used, clean it regularly and cover your grill when it is not in use.
How Often Should You Clean a Pit Boss Grill?
Pit Boss recommends that you clean your grill after running 18 to 27 kg of fuel through the hopper. To clean your grill, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the ash collector and bottom of the grill, ensure you scrape any grease from your broiler and wipe down the grill with a light degreaser.
