What Is a Pit Boss Barbecue?

A Complete Guide to Pellet, Charcoal & Hybrid Grills

At Norwich Camping & Leisure, we’re passionate about helping our customers enjoy the very best in outdoor living—and that includes finding the perfect barbecue. If you’re searching for a grill that offers versatility, ease of use, and incredible flavour, Pit Boss barbecues are well worth a look. From wood pellet grills to hybrid gas-charcoal combos and traditional ceramic charcoal cookers, Pit Boss has become a trusted name in back garden barbecuing.

Whether you’re a weekend griller or a serious low-and-slow enthusiast, there’s a Pit Boss model that can bring your cooking to the next level.

Why Choose Pit Boss?

Pit Boss stands out in the barbecue world by delivering premium features at an accessible price. Many models offer more cooking space and functionality than higher-priced alternatives, making them a popular choice among both first-time buyers and seasoned grillers.

With a wide range of models covering pellet grilling, charcoal cooking, and gas/charcoal hybrid grilling, Pit Boss gives you the freedom to cook your way. Their barbecues are solidly built, packed with features, and designed to deliver great results—whether you’re searing steaks, smoking ribs, or even baking pizzas outdoors.

How Do Pit Boss Barbecues Work?

Pellet Grills

Pit Boss’s pellet grills use 100% natural hardwood pellets, fed into a firepot via an automatic auger. Once ignited, a built-in fan circulates heat and smoke evenly across the cooking chamber. With digital temperature controls, you can set your cooking temperature with confidence and leave the grill to do the work—perfect for long smokes or steady roasting.

Charcoal and Hybrid Grills

If you love the flavour of real charcoal but also want the convenience of gas, Pit Boss hybrid grills give you both in one package. Start your cook with gas, switch to charcoal for flavour, or run them side by side—these grills offer true flexibility. For the purists, Pit Boss also offers ceramic charcoal models, such as the K24 Kamado, that retain heat incredibly well and allow for precise control over your cook.

What Can You Cook on a Pit Boss?

Pit Boss barbecues are built for versatility. Fancy a slow-smoked brisket? No problem. Need to sear steaks at high heat? Easy. Want to try baking bread or pizzas in your garden? You can do that too. With wide temperature ranges and multi-zone cooking options, Pit Boss models are designed to handle it all.

Many models also support direct flame grilling, ideal for getting that perfect char on burgers and kebabs. And if you’re into low-and-slow, you’ll love the smoke control features on their pellet models, allowing you to get just the right amount of wood-fired flavour in every bite.

Getting Started: Lighting & Cleaning

One of the reasons Pit Boss is so popular is how easy they are to use. Pellet grills ignite automatically with the push of a button. Just fill the hopper, set your temperature, and let it get to work. Charcoal and hybrid models require a bit more manual control but reward you with that hands-on fire-cooking experience.

Cleaning is straightforward too. Pellet grills produce minimal ash and can be cleaned out with a quick sweep of the firepot and grease tray. Charcoal grills benefit from an ash drawer system, making cleanup fast and simple. To keep your grill in top condition, we always recommend using a cover and giving your cooking grates a quick brush after each use.
