Pit Boss Vs Traeger Pellet Grill | Which One Should You Buy

Pit Boss Vs Traeger Pellet Grill Which One Should You Buy? If you have followed me for a while you know I am not dedicated to any particular brand when if comes to my bbq equipment. I just want the best pit I can buy for my hard earned dollars! Pit Boss has truly stepped up their game with the new Pro Series models! I honestly feel that the Pit Boss 1150 would also beat the Traeger 780. The best thing about this stripped down Traeger model is the controller. Trager is a great company but I guess it is true you are just paying for a name. I hope you all enjoyed this fun little comparison video on Pit Boss Vs Traeger, thanks for watching!

I've had my 1500 Pit Boss since Father's Day. Absolutely love it!

[HOCUS-POCUS.]

The mortal kombat thing was the bomb. Most entertaining comparison video I have seen.

[mikerogers]

I love my Pit Boss. Only had it about a month now and use it almost everyday. 🍻

[AndersonsSmokeShow]

Great video Ricer! You did a great job on the comparison, and I love the Mortal Kombat theme 🤣🤣

[SmokinJoesPitBBQ]

Great comparison/review Ricer! I'm with you on the front shelves. 👍

[GrillSergeant]

I'm going to have to check todays obituary. That Traeger was brutally murdered. Great video Ricer!

[mopfactr]

I've had a treager for about 4, 5 yrs now and I absolutely love it havent had any problems with it since I've owned it

[altonrichard]

ok, probably one of the coolest comparison videos i've seen! I liked the thumbnail and came in, the information was very good and will help me decide on future purchases

[MadHorseBBQ]

Nice video Geoff! The more I see that traeger the more I want one! Have a great week buddy!

[papadof]

Amazing video ricer!! “It has begun” was so funny 😂

[LetsgetNuszBBQ]

Great comparison bro. Love the mortal combat effects. Good info too!

[justinpatterson]

Great review. I found it informative and helped me make my decision. As a metal fabricator, the metal thickness alone was enough for me to choose the Pit Boss over the Traeger. I just unboxed it and assembled it yesterday and I came back here to mention that some of the things that the Traeger may have beat the Pit Boss out on, have been addressed by Pit Boss. They must have watched this video too. LOL.
The model I got was the Pit Boss Pro Series 1150 V3 (third version), some of the things they
1) You now can control temperature in 5-degree increments
2) The grates are not diamonds anymore. They are not wire, they are still cast and coated, but they have parallel lines running fore and aft, making it easier to clean.
3) I dont remember which video you mentioned the front tray in, if it was this one or a different one, but you said something about not using the front tray much because food can get stuck where the logo is embossed and it is hard to clean....Pit Boss addressed that too. The V3 is no longer embossed. The logo is painted on so its a smooth surface, much easier to clean.
I dont know what improvements Traeger has made in the last year but Im super happy with what Pit Boss has done with their V3. The 850s that were at the store (Lowes) still had the diamond grates and the embossed logo but the 1150 has been upgraded. Im not sure about the 850s could have still been V2s too, Im not sure. Im not even sure if there is a V3 of the 850 but happy with the one I got. Thanks.

All my buddies who used to be traeger fans are now pit boss owners. Way more value and way more options for a lower price. Plus their customer service is great.

[thegalleryBBQ]

You nailed it, brother. That control panel on the Traeger looks like the real deal. My guess. Both pits are winners. That said. I do love my PB1600.... Cheers.

[barbbq]

Dang! Finish Him !! 😂🤣😂😂 Great stuff, even better comparison! Very detailed on both pits and fairly done. Awesome job

[Mankitchenrecipes]

Baby Huey! Baby Huey! Baby Huey! For the win! And hey, the metal plate under Pit Boss on the shelf is removable for cleaning and you can change up the color if you want while you're at it! Oh and the Traeger doesn't come with a griddle plate eithet... Baby Huey! Baby Huey! 👶 🤣

[SDSBBQs]

Well done! this was by far one of your best comparison videos. *slow clap*

I say go for the Pit Boss. I’ve had my 820d for 7 or 8 years and it’s still going. One of the main differences between the two brands is the ability to expose the fire for searing on the Pit Boss. I use that option on mine all the time to sear steaks and pork chops. Pit Boss customer service is great as well. I had my fire go out mid cook on some ribs a couple weeks ago. I just finished them off in the oven. Long story short, the fire reignited and I decided to pour some water in the fire pot to put it out. That caused the pellets to swell, including some in the auger. After cleaning the fire pot I decided to turn it on and test it. The Auger was jammed up from the swollen pellets inside. Turns out I broke a small bushing and one of the tabs on the ignition rod where it mounts to the control board. I called Pit Boss looking for help and they sent me the parts free of charge. That’s on a grill that is waaay out of warranty! I was expecting, this is the part numbers you need, and you can go to this site and order them. They took my info and sent them free of charge!!😎
