Product overview

Pit Boss Sportsman 1100 (substituted for Pit Boss Pro Series 1150): What to Know

The originally requested Pit Boss Pro Series 1150 (sold under model numbers PB1150PS2 and PB1150PS3) turned out to be a Lowe's-exclusive grill in the U.S. — it's sold through Lowes.com and Lowe's stores, and Amazon carries only third-party replacement parts, grates, and covers for it, not the grill itself. The one Amazon listing that does map to a related Pit Boss 1150-class grill (model PB1150G) was being resold by an unaffiliated third-party seller at roughly double what the grill normally costs, which isn't a listing we'd point readers toward.

Instead we verified the Pit Boss Sportsman 1100 (PB1100SP), a genuine current Pit Boss model in the same roughly-1,100-square-inch size class, sold and shipped by Amazon.com directly. It's part of Pit Boss's Sportsman series, which trims a bit of the fancier digital-display styling from the Pro Series in favor of a more no-frills, lower-priced build — a slide-plate flame broiler for direct-heat searing, a built-in spice rack, and a 2-in-1 stainless side shelf.

It's worth knowing that Pit Boss, as a brand, is currently the subject of a law-firm class-action investigation into pellet accumulation and auger fires reported on some of its grills — that's a legal investigation, not a formal CPSC recall, and it isn't specific to the Sportsman 1100 by model number, but we think shoppers should know about it before buying any pellet-fed Pit Boss grill. Standard pellet-grill hygiene — keeping the burn pot clear of ash buildup and not letting pellets sit and swell from moisture — reduces this kind of risk regardless of brand.

Buying questions

Quick Answers

Why isn't the Pit Boss Pro Series 1150 on this list?

It's a Lowe's-exclusive model in the U.S. with no genuine Amazon grill listing, so we substituted the Sportsman 1100, a comparably sized Pit Boss grill that Amazon actually sells and ships directly.

Is the Sportsman 1100 the same as the Pro Series 1150?

No, they're different model lines. The Sportsman trades some of the Pro Series's digital display features for a simpler build and a lower price, while landing in roughly the same cooking-capacity range.
