BBQ season is right around the corner and now is a great time to score some killer savings on some new hardware for your back yard.
Let’s be honest, most of us don’t relegate our outdoor cooking craft to just the warmer months of the year. If you’re like me, your smoker is fired up year-round. Personally, I’d say I may cook more during the winter months than any other time of the year. That is especially true now that I own a pellet smoker. The ease and convenience of these “set it and forget it” smokers mean less time out in the elements babying your bbq.
Yes, I have an offset and I absolutely agree that pellet grills don’t impart near the smokey goodness as a traditional wood smoker. That said, you can make some incredible smoked food with a pellet smoker and the recent, sharp increase in popularity among backyard bbq warriors has resulted in an explosion of models available from an ever-growing list of brands.
While there are an overwhelming number of brands to choose from, a few stand out at the top of the list as dominant players in the pellet grill market place. You have Traeger, Reqtec, ZGrills, Yoder and Weber, just to name a few. Which one is the best is really a matter of opinion but right up there on the list of most popular brands is the well-known Pit Boss Grills. Pit Boss offers not only a range of pellet grills but also charcoal smokers, flat top griddles and even tailgater models for the BBQer on the go. They even have pellet/gas combos for those that like having a full-fledged grill at their disposal.
This week, Pit Boss announced a February Flash Sale which means that you could get your hands on some shiny, new BBQ hardware and save as much as $200. We usually don’t see sales of this magnitude until closer to Father’s Day which, coincidentally, is when my wife bought me my Traeger Pro 34 that was deeply discounted at Home Depot. Anyway, back to Pit Boss.
Let’s take a look at the best deals from the Pit Boss February sale.
PIT BOSS 1000R2 PELLET GRILL
First on the list, the Pit Boss 1000R2. This model is perfect for new users and seasoned barbecue enthusiasts alike. From a size and feature perspective, it is very similar to my Traeger Pro 34. You get just over 1,000 sq. in. of cooking space between the bottom and top racks, a hefty pellet hopper and a price tag of only $699.
The 1000R2, however, boasts a feature that you won’t find on the Pro 34 and it’s a game changer if you’re into the popular reverse searing method for your steaks. The “Sear Slide” allows you to slide open the area over the fire box and get an open flame for a true, flame-broiled kiss. This gives the 1000R2 a distinct advantage over comparably priced models from other manufacturers. Thanks to this flash sale, you won’t have to pay anywhere near retail for this versatile, dependable smoker. Right now, take $200 off the Pit Boss 1000R2 and take this bad boy home for a smoking hot $499.
PIT BOSS SPORTSMAN 1230 PELLET/GAS COMBO GRILL
Looking for the best of both worlds? Sure, the Sear Slide on the 1000R2 is great for adding that finishing touch to your slow smoked steaks but sometimes, you need fast and hot. The Pit Boss Sportsman 1230 offers the same great features you’ll find on the Pit Boss pellet grills along with a dedicated side powered by gas for those days you just want to grill.
You still get that handy Sear Slide on the 630.5 sq. in. smoker side but you can leave that low and slow while you cook some burgers, salmon, vegetables or whatever over the open flame of the 3-burner gas grill side. The ultimate backyard 2-in-1, the Sportsman 1230 is regularly $999 but you can pick one up for and save a whopping $200 for a limited time.
PIT BOSS CHAMPION BARREL CHARCOAL SMOKER, MAHOGANY
For those of you trying your hand at some amateur BBQ competitions, the Pit Boss Champion Barrel smoker is a great pick to hone your skills. This thing has three tiers of cooking racks and is capable of smoking up to 12 racks of hanging ribs in a single smoke.
- Triple row hanging rack
- Folding side shelves
- Built-in dolly with Inline Wheels
- Dual adjustable air intake
- Easy access charcoal basket
- Cool touch stainless-steel handle
- Heat diffuser and air circulator
The Champion Barrel smoker uses charcoal but you can add your own wood pellets or chips to create the perfect smokey bbq flavor that will win over the judges or the in-laws when they come over for a cookout. Normally $839, Pit Boss has this bad boy marked down to $699 which is a monster of a deal for this sweet smoker.
PIT BOSS DELUXE 4-BURNER GRIDDLE
Blackstone may have started the craze but make no mistake, there are quite a few brands of flat-top griddles on the market that are well worth your hard-earned money. Pit Boss offers a variety of griddle models and the deluxe 4-burner is on sale for $399, a $100 savings. Push and turn ingnition, dual-folding shelves and 4-way casters make this a great addition to any barbecue ensemble. Whether you’re making some flapjacks or honing your hibachi skills, a flat-top griddle is a must have for any self-respecting grillmaster.
