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.
