Pit Boss Navigator 1000 Pellet Grill

In for reviews / recommendations. Been thinking about a pellet grill for a month or so. Really not sure where to start as there seems to be endless options.

I have a small Pitboss pellet grill. Its been nice

I just bailed on pellet grills for good. After a reqteq and pit boss. They never work as good as you expect, always giving problems, errors, dying out, over heating. It’s always something.

Back to the good ole primo oval and lump charcoal.

Or a pellet grill. Nothing like waking up to an error code and room temperature raw meat.

Use temp probes and alarms if you're worried. That said, my old camp chef has never let me down once firing/cooking.

People on here seem to have had a better experience than i have but prior to getting a pellet grill i had one of those small electric smokers that look kinda like a dorm refrigerator and have a little chunk wood smoke box in the bottom vs a pellet feed and i felt like that thing kept food much more moist and got alot more smokey flavor into the food. Just my experience. It was a much dirtier grill after cooking but peformance wise it shat on my pellet smoker. I think it was a charbroil so it wasnt even expensive.

Not sure how this one compares to the Pitboss competition series, but I used that grill for 2 years with no issues. Loved it - it was my first pellet grill.


I'd do it again if I had to, but I upgraded to a Camp Chef.

I've been having a Pitboss for about 4 years. Similar to the one your looking at. It has worked good for me with few issues. You do have to clean it every so often to get the ashes out of the igniter cup (I use an old shopvac) but other than that it works great. Yes there are much better options with more bells and whistles but you will pay more. Also customer service was good for me. I accidentlly broke the temp knob and I explained to them what happened with pics and they sent me a new one free of charge.
