Your wildest barbecuing dreams have come true. Introducing the Pit Boss Memphis Ultimate - the pinnacle of outdoor cooking. The first of its kind, the Memphis Ultimate is the combination of a gas barbecue, a charcoal barbecue and a glass doored electric smoker, totaling over 2,100 square inches of cooking space. Char-grill burgers or barbecue kebabs on your 36,000 BTU 3 burner gas grill. Grill your favourite meats on your charcoal grill, with a 6 position grade adjustment, front air intake and rear chimney exhaust. Simultaneously smoke cheese in your 2.7 cubic feet, 3 rack analog electric smoker. The ingenious engineering of the Memphis Ultimate allows you to offset the smoke from the smoker into either grill side, for a delicious added smoke flavor to anything you cook. If that weren’t enough, the Memphis Ultimate also comes equipped with 2 drawer storage, tool hooks, a side shelf for preparation, locking caster wheels for mobility.

Update from an avid grilling and smoking guy... I bought this grill this week and got it all seasoned up last night. It is a boss!!! Had to have multiple people help me load and unload it. It produces very good smoke from the lower smoker. I was worried about it not producing very much to work through the unit but it does a very good job. Today I'm going to check out the back air damper for the smoker because mine doesn't close off all the way. There is a gap still when I try to close it off all the way. I don't like all that smoke escaping when I'm trying to smoke the top units. I might have just installed the damper wrong. As far as the metal goes it appears that it'll hold up in the elements. I'm waiting on my cover to arrive in the mail and that'll just prolong this unit. As far as I can tell right now I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to everyone I know!!!!

I have owned the Pit Boss Ultimate for over a month now. I have used the gas and the smoker so far. Putting it together was easy especially after watching the video. The metal seems strong and the grates for the gas and charcoal are heavy duty. The grates for the smoker are different.They are like grates in an oven. You have three burners for the gas grill. when grilling a stake or hamburger the middle is a lot hotter then the outside, so you end up with the meat in the middle or part of your stake closest to the middle burner cooking faster. The vent to add smoke to the gas or charcoal is awesome. It does add the smoke to it. The electric burner heats the wood chips up great and releases a lot of smoke, but it heats up the chips so well that they produce a heat on their own and your temperature is higher then what you want. When the wood chips burns up and you add more or replace the chips, you have to wait on that smoke again. You have to find a balance. It's not a smoker you put the wood chips in, turn the knob and set a timer and walk away from your ribs or brisket. When you have learned how high to turn the knob for what you are cooking, then you can do that. Read the instruction book too! The charcoal is nice. I like the box inside and how easy it is to remove the aches. I do not like the smoke stack that you turn to control the smoke or heat going out. I also don't like having to remove the metal grates to add more charcoal or would chips. I wish they put the bottom vent on the side and put a door in front to add what you need. Over all this is not a thousand dollar unit that distributes heat evenly or a smoker that you put the wood chips in, set the desire heat and a timer and walk away. This Pit boss Ultimate if taken care of (please watch Home Depot Grill cleaning video. They have one for gas and charcoal.) it will last you 5 to 10 years. I am sure. I bought a Infrared, gas, charcoal from Sam's Club about 7 or 8 years ago and it finely rusted out because the first three years I didn't but a grill cover.The Pit Boss is made better then that one. So buy one but just don't go in-debt buying one. Hope this helps. Also for outdoor cooking videos check out "Cowboy Kent Rollins ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iquolZxseLlnjZo )"

[@SOULASSASSIN33]

making a video on how to use the smoker and what can be smoked in an electric smoker this size would be awesome

[@lucturcotte3155]

I bought one of these and they are the best I have found! Got really tired of the 300 dollar throw away bbq's so I spent more this time. The value is worth the price 100%

[@julietliu5580]

Can I ask where you got it? I’ve been checking walmart constantly for like months but it’s always out of stock!

[@Scubasteve171]

The top chambers smoke very well. I use pellets for all my smoking as they put out much more smoke than wood chips. I still can’t get the bottom smoker to get below 325 so I only use it for quick smokes and the upper chambers for slower smokes or for adding smoke to burgers, dogs, sausage, vegetables and such. Over all it’s a great bbq. Ps. Ribs smoked in the smoker oven came out just fine after around 2 1/2 hrs at lowest setting but would have liked a lower temp for 5 hrs. Changing pellets every 30 min.

[@Scubasteve171]

Just purchased this. So far used 1x to smoke a pork loin. I set it on lowest setting but couldn’t get the temp below 325. Wanted 235. Will try smoking chicken in upper chamber with smoker on high. Upper vent open and propane off, to see if I can get to the target temp. If that works out, I’ll use the smoker for smoke plus as an outdoor oven. The utility hooks are cheap so I bought stainless steel drawer pulls as utility hooks. Smokes great. I used pellets, chips and a couple pieces of cowboy charcoal as experiment.

[@klouh14]

Stephen Jeffries. Any update on being able to use the top to smoke?

[@suzonnekeller6596]

How did pellets work for you??

[@SillyTubereal]

One thing I hate about gas grills is that the pit is not deep. Not every food is better cooked over the grate. Some foods are better cooked by hovering over heat with skewers, but high positioned burners will touch the food.

[@jondelano2878]

Wow...now that’s some good cooking..

[@bobmoore7423]

can anyone tell me the width of the bbq without the shelfs?

[@WillieStubbs]

I got mine at WalMart yesterday and took about 4 hours to put it together. My least favorite was trying to line up the screw on the left front leg with the gas hose in the way. They use Phillips head screws with nothing to grab a hold to and trying to push the leg in alignment and hand start the screw is a pain. I dropped 2 into the gap between the leg and bottom drawer, so I had to tilt the grill on its side to get the screw to fall out. That kind of space shouldn't exist on a grill where leaves and debris can collect. I got smart the second go 'round and stuffed paper in that hollow until I got the screw in place which was good because I dropped it twice more. A hex head would have been better in that location. And I hated the screw package since the writing is on the opposite side to the paper backing that you peel back to access the screws. Then you have to lift the whole thing above your head to read which screw to use next or you'll dump all your open screw containers on the ground. And the first screw was something like M6X4 which I thought was a metric screw, so I opened the screws labeled M then I realized when the screw wouldn't work that there was a letter following the M6X4 that told me the letter of the screw. Just tell me I need 4 D screws and only label the package on the back with a D. Features I'd like to see on an upgrade would be a pellet feeder in place of the right side table and a round gas burner on left side table (I mainly want that to start my coals). And like other people I hate the wheels. I love the cast iron wheels featured on other grills (700FB). And I like the copper color of the other grills too (Austin). I'm pretty stoked to give it a try. I love having temperature gauges so I can possible learn how to cook at certain temperatures to achieve better bbq. Finally I can go Paleo the right way this time, LOL!

Step It up!

[@gvanys]

I bought this grill couple months ago, I had on high heat on the gas section I smelled plastic burning. I shut the grill off completely trying to figure out whats going on. I tried to turn it back on the igniter wasn't working at all I replaced the battery found out only 1 of the igniter is working the other 2 stopped working. I tried to get information about the warranty none of the website of pitboss are working. Very disappointed for a grill that costs almost $800

[@FranknCarriesHomestead]

Just purchased it I have video of it on my channel coming out on Thursday of me telling how well it is built & any difficulty along the way.

How to use the smoker

[@Niterider73]

I'm debating between this and cuisinart grill combo. Only thing I like that the cuisinart has is an auto feed pellet despenser.

[@rogerl8488]

I am in the store now look at the same 2 which way should I go?

[@Niterider73]

@@rogerl8488 Well I actually did not get either one. If I had to choose one of the two. I would probably go with the cuisine art. The only thing I did not like about that is it gave a sense of cheapness. Which I guess is like that with most grills today. It really is true what they say you get what you pay for.

[@waynefoley8310]

I have had our Pit Boss Memphis for about a year. Best BBQ we have ever had. We use it about 3 times a week. We never smoked much because ti was such a PITA but with the Pit Boss it is a breeze and can be diverted tot eh coal or propane side. Question; When we use the smoker we put in the water tray just above the coals. It does not really catch the "drippins" like we are used to to make gravy. How might we do this without putting the meat in a pan? Wayne F

[@tinamcfadden7545]

Does this have a thermostat control for the smoker or do you have to monitor the heat for the smoker

[@jfinley01]

Need to do this without the charcoal and ADD a griddle. PLEASE!!

going from a floor grill (4 legged 13" grill) to THIS... should I? of course i've grilled before, just not on my own grills.... always wanted something better than what i got..

[@gardini100]

it sure looks like the Ultimate :)

[@PitBossGrills]

It is a very versatile unit. You can use each part independently, or use the smoker in combination with the other grills. Plus...all that space!

[@jasurb6594]

Can you session the smoker with bacon grease like some other smokers

[@randyp1977]

Is the add on Facebook real or fake saying i can get one for $10

[@PitBossGrills]

Hey Randy, We recommend when shopping online for a Pit Boss, make sure to stay on our Website at: pitboss-grills.com/ Or from any one of our Retailers at the bottom of the website.

[@BBQCrasher]

Thank you for making this video. Im in the market of replacing my dual fuel grill. What is your opinion on leaving this outside with a cover? The rain, humidity and snow effecting the smoker section when in storage? Tku Al

[@macmcintosh5927]

Fortunately they are powder coated. While I do cover mine with a Pit Boss cover, it's not really needed. The cover, by the way, is still in great shape, as is the barbeque after two full years outside. Not a bit of rust, even on the grates.

Not like the Memphis. We do offer propane smokers, but nothing like the combo unit of the Memphis.

Can you use wood pellets with the smoker

[@PitBossGrills]

Hi Rob, it is recommended that you use wood chips for optimum performance.

[@suzonnekeller6596]

Can you use wood pellets instead of wood on this grill??

[@PitBossGrills]

For the smoker on this grill, you need to use wood chips. Pellets would not work on this type of grill.

[@suzonnekeller6596]

Can you use wood pellets instead of wood in this pit Boss??

[@PitBossGrills]

You only want to use wood chips in the smoker

[@mbinkley2]

What’s the warranty like? Also I’ve read about damaged/dented spots from poor packaging?

[@davidmolina7301]

Tell you the truth I bought one from Walmart on 05/31/21 in a very damaged outer box and it had me worried. Although there was only one left and I wanted it for my father so yeah. Anyways paid the fat $592-$675 after tax and when I removed the outer box inside was let me tell you some extremely impressive and important heavy styrofoam as well as twist ties followed by more nicely heavy duty styrofoam. Anyways Matt the grill is literally right in front me and it’s great! I know it’s been two years since you wrote this message but I felt I had to let you know it’s safe!

Can I use pellets instead of wood chips in the box?

[@PitBossGrills]

You do not want to use pellets, as they have a higher chance of igniting and causing a fire

[@xxYungRedxx]

Pit Boss Grills I see, I currently have a smoker tube that I use with my pellets, can I just insert that instead of the box or even place the tube inside of the smoker itself?

[@robertboody3366]

Bought over Labor Day weekend and grill was damaged. Called customer service as directed by Pit Boss and was told to continue assembly, take pictures of damages and send to Pit Boss. I did all of that and then was told to return a fully assembled grill! So, I did that, exchanged it, only to get another one in worse shape! So, in the process of returning grill number two. Pit Boss packaging is HORRIBLE!!!! Customer Service is HORRIBLE!!! Very disappointed in this grill, had high hopes only to be squashed by very low quality in packaging, what I expected to be a quality product, to get TWO DAMAGED GRILLS...
