Pit Boss warranty for smokers & pellet grills
The short version
Pit Boss doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole product covered to 2 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 16 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Pit Boss's published warranty, checked October 2026.
