A pellet grill burns wood pellets to smoke, grill, and roast with a digital controller. This comparison puts a Pit Boss, a Traeger, and a Weber pellet grill side by side on cooking area, temperature range, hopper size, weight, connectivity, and warranty.
How We Chose
We compared three mid-size wood pellet grills from Pit Boss, Traeger, and Weber, all available on Amazon. We left out the Camp Chef Woodwind because the Amazon offer we found was from a third-party seller, and we left out Pit Boss and Traeger portable models sold by other sellers. The grills are not identical. The Weber costs more than twice the Pit Boss and lists a higher temperature range and connectivity, so the price gap reflects real differences. Each spec cell names its source: the manufacturer’s page where it gave a value, and the Amazon listing where it did not (the Pit Boss weight). Warranty terms come from the manufacturer’s own pages. Traeger’s own pages show two warranty lengths for the Pro 22, and we say so in the table. This is a researched comparison, not a hands-on test, so we make no claims about smoke flavor or how the temperature holds beyond what each listing says. Prices are Amazon prices checked in September 2026 and can change.

Check Price on Amazon →Our Take
If price matters most, the Pit Boss is the cheapest and carries a 5 year limited warranty. If weight matters most, the Traeger Pro 22 is the lightest, and the Weber has the biggest hopper at 20 lb. The Weber costs the most and is the only one here that lists a 600°F range and Wi-Fi. Pellet grills need electricity and a steady supply of pellets, so factor those in. Warranty terms differ by component, so read them before you buy. We did not test any of them.
