The Pit Boss Pellet Smoker — A Dad Staple at a Steal of a Price

$399

I present the Pit Boss. Let's face it — if you're a dad, you are going to need a BBQ at some point. Whether it's for Sunday sports and some finger-licking good food, or batch cooking hot dogs for the kiddos' soccer team after a game, a BBQ grill is a staple item to being a dad.

I prefer pellet smokers to standard offsets due to the ease of use. Managing the temp on a smoker the old-fashioned way is fun, but a good pellet smoker saves the day when you've got kids running around. Fill the hopper, set the temp, and stop worrying about it. You can go back to playing with the kids and just worry about your timer.

This baby's got room for plenty of food at once to feed everyone you need, and coming in at $399 it is a steal of a deal for a budget pellet smoker.

Dad Tips
  • Keep it clean to prevent issues — a dirty grill is a problem waiting to happen.
  • Store your pellets in a dry place to keep them from locking up your auger.
  • Only pour in what you need. It's much easier to refill pellets than it is to clean them out.
Dad's Verdict
Dad-Approved Backyard Essential
5 / 5

Set it, forget it, go play with the kids. At $399 this pellet smoker punches way above its weight class. Feed the whole team without breaking a sweat — or the bank.
