On DECK COOKING WITH THE BOSS

Great FANTASTIC

Guarded Optimism

10/21/26 - it’s all been great for about a week and a half since several software updates. Not gonna say perfect yet, but I really now like it.

Apparently, they delete bad reviews.
So in this case, I can’t really rant about how app works, only about 1/3 of the time, and all the problems I had.

If you plan using this with the app, I would look elsewhere for a different grill

In this case, after this app update, I couldn’t use it until I logged in. OK, I can accept that, but I had to verify my email and it would not send me any email verifications. Just a horrible app.

Dale

Awesome smoker, only thing I can pick is the app lets them down very basic and goes down most weekends especially sundays

WiFi problems

Cant load on phone. Customer Service told me I need 2.4 instead of 5G router to load.

No connectivity on Bluetooth or WiFi

I have an iPhone and cannot get it to connect to WiFi at all and Bluetooth is horrible standing next to the grill. Repeatedly “unable to connect “ or occasionally actually connects then “your connection to the grill was lost” within seconds of getting a screen refresh. I have a friend that connects to his grill with an android phone and has had no problems so I’m guessing it’s an app-to-iOS issue. Please fix. This is pathetic.

Please get a developer on your staff that can work with iOS.

Hot Garbage

App constantly resets temp automatically back down to minimum 180! Wastes so much time and screws up cooks, as well as losing money on great cuts of meat. Hey Pitboss- do you understand what regression testing is??? You might want to try it for the benefit of your customers!

Smoked Lasagna

Highly recommend. Easy to make with a short prep time. Throw it in and cook on 325 for an hour.

Grill Great/ App not so much

Great grill, but the app needs work

I’ve been happy with my Pit Boss pellet grill. It cooks well, and I enjoy using it for backyard BBQ. The grill itself has been a good purchase.

The app, however, falls short. It should make monitoring a cook easier, but the experience is frustrating and doesn’t match the quality of the grill. I’d like to see Pit Boss focus on making the app more reliable, responsive, and user-friendly.

I would recommend the grill based on its cooking performance, but if the app is a major reason you’re buying it, I’d keep your expectations modest. A better app would make a good grill an even better overall package.

Filet Mignon

This pellet grill perfectly cooks filet mignon over the open fire at 400 degrees. I cooked four filets. It took a couple of different cooks to figure out the best way to place them for the char and temperature I like (medium rare). The temperature gauge that comes with the grill is accurate. I kept track of it on the grill instead of the app, since I stood by the grill to open it and rotate the steaks.

I love this pellet grill (Pit Boss Pro Series 1300).

pit boss rocks out

I love this smoker and app. makes the experience amazing

Please fix your app

It’s hard to believe that with all the updates over the years, that you still cant fix your app. The app constantly shuts down randomly at least a dozen times during a cook. Also, after leaving notes for your cook, it crops half of it and makes it impossible to read after you saved it.

Fantastic

Love the mobile use and the no mess clean up. Easy to use and cooks to perfection

Smoker

Is great and cooked my tritip good and was awesome

Ruined a 14 lb brisket

Using the app, I set the temperature at 200 for a low and slow smoke. For about 2 hours it was steady at 200. I made sure the pellet hopper was full and went to mow my lawn. Two hours later, I come back to the smoker and it is at 480 and the brisket’s temperature is 183. The smoker and it’s respective app ruined my brisket. Not a happy Pit Boss owner today!

Dual fuel Pitboss

We love this pellet grill/gas griddle combo!!!

Horrible App

This is the worst app on my phone, it worked great for a few times and then reverted to needing me to sign on every time.,Great grill, don’t buy for the App

Pit Boss 850

Amazing product

Needs Improvement

The app would be perfect if it could run in the background and I didn’t have to completely relaunch it every time I navigate to another app of lock my phone. The convenience aspect takes a real hit with that. I’d almost rather walk to the other end of the house and look at the screen on the grill. Also, a way to remotely prime the auger via the app could be useful.

Much improved

Works great, i would like to figure out how to get an audible notification when probe reaches temp
