Overview

The PIT Boss 11086 is a pellet smoker built from alloy steel in a matte black finish, measuring 26.7 x 47 x 47.2 in and weighing 136.6 lb. It is a full-size, stand-alone unit for a dedicated outdoor cooking spot.

PIT Boss is an established name in pellet smokers, and at over 130 lb this model is built as permanent backyard equipment rather than something to fold away. Recent buying activity for this listing points to steady current demand.

Who it's for

Fits backyard cooks setting up a serious, large-capacity pellet smoker for regular use. Not for anyone with limited patio space or needing something light enough to relocate often.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Established PIT Boss brand
  • Large cooking footprint for high-volume sessions
  • Pellet feed automates temperature control
What to check first
  • 136.6 lb makes it a permanent fixture, not portable
  • Requires significant patio or yard space at 47 in wide

Performance notes

Pellet fuel automates heat through an auger-fed burn pot, which generally holds temperature more consistently than manual charcoal tending. Alloy steel construction and matte black finish are standard for PIT Boss's mid-to-large smoker line, built for outdoor exposure over multiple seasons.
