Nice pellet grill. I like some of the features like the cabinet doors and front shelf. But I'm partial to my camp chef woodwind pro. Best smoke flavor out of a pellet grill I've ever had!

[@arieslove6144]

Because you can use wood chips ' chunks ' along with the pellets

[@michaelwillis4090]

super excited to see the comparisons to your other grills

[@PelletsandPits]

Me as well...will be interesting

[@SpeedSmoke2025]

Awesome video! I’m looking to buy one, and as most people I turn straight to KZbin for some good and honest reviews. Thank you for making this! Y’all are awesome!

[@ChuongNguyen-up9fy]

I’m happy with my Traeger. Never had any issues with mine. I do appreciate the review

[@garryhammond3117]

Pellet smokers just keep getting better and easier to use - Thanks Neal. - Cheers! It makes one want to hesitate about buying their first one, for fear of missing out on the latest and greatest features. I pulled the trigger last fall on my Camp Chef Woodwind Pro, and still have to do a lot more cooks on it before I can form an opinion.

[@PelletsandPits]

Right on!

[@vidman9691]

Thanks for this review of the grill. I am looking forward to your tests/reviews. There is one bad review on the Pit Boss site about leaking water and destroying pellets. I hope this is addressed by Pit Boss and I give them credit for allowing this review on their site. I hope to see more about this grill on your site.

[@PelletsandPits]

I will check it out

[@pauldandrea5504]

Thanks for this intro. I just got one of these from a liquidator for $350. My first pellet grill, can't wait to get started.

[@PelletsandPits]

Holy COW...what a steal...fantastic deal..cheers

[@dmproske]

That price from a liquidator it was probably a return. Expect to be fixing some issues. PitBoss has good CS for parts

[@jaybooth4815]

Looks like fine features in this grill Neal! Tons of cooking space. SS grates are nice too and easy to clean. The technology on pellet grills is growing very quickly for sure. Looking forward too seeing some cooks. (Happy belated Birthday….we both share that special day. I’m a tad your elder.) cheers buddy!

[@PelletsandPits]

Happy Birthday bud...

[@clnorris82]

Outstanding video. You put out high-quality info. Earned a sub!

[@PelletsandPits]

Really appreciate that

[@gharv1313]

Nice pellet grill, Neal. Definitely made many upgrades. Enjoyed the review. Cheers and Happy Belated Birthday 🎂 🍺

[@PelletsandPits]

Ty bud...cheers

[@jmert_5859]

@ 10:40, I take the mesh out. Fear of pellets getting clogged and not falling below. @ 15:06, Nice.

[@danwaligursky4258]

Looks like a nice unit, have an 8+ year old Pit Boss and want to upgrade can’t wait to hear your thoughts if the extra features of this unit are worth it and how it performs.

[@steveop123]

LOOKS GOOD ! Like the multiple grate options ! Oh And Happy Birthday Neal !

[@PelletsandPits]

Yes! Thank you!

[@mehbroncos]

After watching this video again, I feel like for you (me for sure) the Weber Searwood XL to date is the best do it all pit/pellet grill option for most people

[@JoshMoenheli]

How do you like the Titan compared to the Timberline XL?

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looking forward to your cooking on it. That's a good looking Pellet Grill. Fred

[@PelletsandPits]

Thanks for watching Fred

[@WongGame727]

I saw one at Academy yesterday. I’m heavily considering it.

[@shadowstokes]

I like the open flame slider but I don’t like how they make it so narrow…small window for if you want to sear a large amount of meat…I do have the 540 onyx but I can see even on yours it is a small narrow open flame area compared to the overall grill itself

[@PelletsandPits]

Agree....its a fantastic idea and feature..but not as practicable as you would like....

[@jayroser9876]

18:53 Do your Pellets ever draw moisture with it being outside all the time or do you try to only add what you think you will burn. Love the videos

[@PelletsandPits]

Ya know...i personally have not had any problems yet...been 3 years now...doing the same thing...my hoppers stay full

[@nrlarson79]

Really would like to see a comparison between the Titan on the camp chef woodwind pro 36

[@PelletsandPits]

I can tell you with out using the woodwind...I would choose the woodwind pro

[@ericlevasseur6438]

​@@PelletsandPitsWhy is that?

[@greyballer1671]

That looks very cool, looking forward to seeing cooks. Love the shelfs would also love to know how deep they are. Will a rack of ribs fit front to back? On top rack?

[@PelletsandPits]

I think the lower bigger could...the top one not

[@martymar77b]

I like the iron grates in my pit boss. How is the grates on this model? I'm on the fence on this one.

[@PelletsandPits]

I like the stainless...clean easy...I LOVE the way you can adjust..is till cant connect to wifi...it doesnt hurt the cook...but frustrating.

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Neil, that's a nice looking unit. The newer smokers with the huge, easy to read screens are really cool. Was there any mention if you can add wood chips to the hopper?

[@PelletsandPits]

NO...and I would not recommend that either...

[@matthaber804]

@pelletsandpits How does the app work? I've heard that Pit Boss is sending out new controllers because the controllers that are with the grills now do not have the most recent firmware and the only fix is to replace it?

[@PelletsandPits]

Interesting...I have not had any luck...so Pit Boss actually says they can not help...we need to call our internet provider... We saw similar comments and someone said to switch wifi from 5g to 2.4 g...and thats what the Titan says...it only runs on 2.4 hrz...so we bought an extender that allows that to happen and still CAN NOT connect...its extremely frustrating...my 2 wireless thermometers, and 4 other grills connect...no problem I will have to look into that...its not ok to be happing that much

[@mschmidt3108]

Many devices cannot hook to 5ghz. And you need to use 2.4. If your house wifi/router has a guest network option, set it up and you will have a higher likelihood of success. Thats the only way we could use our roomba and even my Memphis wood pellet has the same issue…don’t get me started on that

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Pitt Boss vs Lonestar head to head! Great review btw.

[@lucasbates3118]

There would be no review. Lonestar hands down would kill it. There’s no comparison

[@danwaligursky4258]

Not a fair comparison $1300 against $2000-$3000+

[@kgraham16]

First off I really enjoy your content and your reviews, keep doing what you do! Quick question for you. I currently have a PItboss 1600 and I’m looking for an upgrade. In your opinion which grill is better, this new titan or the Lonstarz pellet grill?

[@PelletsandPits]

Honestly night and day difference and not even close...I have the Titan for reference...100 lone star....

[@acjei]

i’m trying to decide between this or recteq dual fire 1200. what say you?

[@PelletsandPits]

Unfortunately I dont have experience with the reqteq...would be wrong for me to comment...

[@JoshMoenheli]

Curious what your thoughts are between this, the Timberline XL and a Camp Chef Woodwind pro.

[@PelletsandPits]

I personally do not have hands on experience with the Camp Chef...

[@JoshMoenheli]

@@PelletsandPits I was all for the titan but it’s not available in my area but I travel to the southeast frequently so I was going to pick one up but decided against it because if ever there was anything wrong I couldn’t return it easily.

[@blahblahblahblech]

I wish my pellet smoker had a rotisserie also. My Weber gas grill is still my fav for rotating meat

[@zbassr2106]

What would be a smaller version of this grill?

[@PelletsandPits]

I dont think they have one...its only one size..they have others that are smaller

[@dhvol98]

I got the Pitt Boss Academy competition series from 2022 and have absolutely loved it. These new upgrades are so well thought out this may be my eventual replacement in a few years. Happy smoking Neal!

[@PelletsandPits]

Does yours connect to Wifi...

[@joelcopeland3018]

You have a lot of different smokers and grills so I get it, but I love the pit boss ap for temp and probe control convenience.

[@PelletsandPits]

So far...i can not connect...all other grills and thermometers are connected...this one has had problemes...

[@KeriTriumphs]

I can’t connect my Titan to WiFi 😢

[@PelletsandPits]

@@KeriTriumphs I can not either....very frustrated

[@Atown804]

How is the quality of this one compared to the Pro series that Lowes sells?

[@PelletsandPits]

I think its similar...but just more features, bigger hopper, better racks etc...for the value its great...just cant get the wifi to work

[@freedomaquatics6328]

I do think pellet grills are neat. What happens if your power goes out? Might be cool if they had a battery backup mode for it preinstalled and it charges when it needs to charge when it is plugged in. Little peace of mind. Just a thought. Looks good though.

[@PelletsandPits]

100 fair question...no doubt

[@jamesspivy7753]

What's the retail price

[@SeanPD1193]

Any idea why Pit Boss only sells certain models at certain stores? Seems like the model I want is only sold at Academy or Menards and I don't have either on near me.

[@PelletsandPits]

Absolutely...like all companies...they manufacture certian features to keep product line exclusive...just about all companies do this...They talk back and forth with buyers...see what price point they are willing to buy and sell...then they make a unit in that category...

[@D-Mag]

I’ve been looking at the Titan. One thing I don’t like about the shelves is that the wire runs from side to side instead of front to back. Makes it difficult to work a spatula. Everything else looks amazing.

[@PelletsandPits]

Why....you flip side to side..why run the racks that way...running left to right makes it one fluid move...by having up and down grates you would use that motion and then flip side to side...seems like its a better fit...BUT more importantly i think its more about the ability to remove the grates...im sure thats the difference in the design...

[@JasonStutz]

Wow Pellet Grills/Smokers have come a long way although my Dad has the first Traeger that came out and it's still running.

[@PelletsandPits]

Absolutely....crazy the tech

[@reddog907]

PB does have several smokers here in Canada but when they have a new product it is not available here in Canada along with some of their accessories. Maybe the Titan will make its way up here. Cheers

[@dannytruform4465]

I wanted to ask you…. How much does the Titan smoke and how often? Some grills it seems like they’ll smoke a lil while and pause for a while. Does Titan steady smoke?

[@PelletsandPits]

WOW>..yeah I have seen those for sure..I think its a really neat concept

[@aavmarine]

Good review. I bought the Titan last week, and the one thing that these videos don't talk about is the main problem that it won't connect to your home wifi. And like everyone else who has called customer service, it is our home networks fault and not Pit Boss fault, even though everything else in my house will connect. Something is wrong with the controller, and you can't update the firmware if you cannot connect to wifi.

[@PelletsandPits]

I am currently having that problem right now...I am actually filming right now and just mentioned that...same problem as well...5 grills and 2 different thermometers have connected no problems at all...it has to be a PIT BOSS Problem...

[@aavmarine]

@PelletsandPits When you call, they will tell you that if you can connect via Bluetooth and not wifi, then it is your home networks fault, and for you to call them and see if they can figure it out. If they can't figure it out, which they can't, then Pit Boss will help you out. More than likely, send you an updated firmware controller. Which I have read will correct the connection problem. Also, I have read from other owners that they were told that this controller has 2008 chips in it. I personally believe that the firmware will not connect to the latest wifi bands. Thus, not connecting to your home wifi. So, when you decide to call PB, tell them you have already talked to your internet company, and they said there is nothing they could do.

[@aavmarine]

Did you get the problem solved, or did you have to call Pit Boss? If so, what was their answer to the problem, and are they sending you another controller?

[@pewpro941]

@@PelletsandPitsif I had to guess it will only connect to a 2.4ghz wifi which most networks should be able to put out.

[@PelletsandPits]

Traeger is definitely not overrated...BUT it is on the higher price and other companies are creating more features for less...that being said...the Titan is bigger...has bigger hopper, and open flame availability...those are things I look for...its not the Traeger is bad...its just about features that either matter or dont to some...

[@dannytruform4465]

@@PelletsandPits thanks a lot for the feedback….I like your videos and appreciate all the insight.

[@EpicNinjaRides]

Right. Spray the inside and grates down with oil and do your burn in. That will season everything and make it much easier to clean. If you are really worried about cleaning then put a drip pan under whatever you are smoking and then you only have to worry about cleaning grates.
