Overview
The PIT Boss 10798 is a compact pellet smoker with a single rack and 256 square inches of cooking area. Built from steel with porcelain-coated wire and some plastic components, it weighs 46.7 pounds and draws 71 watts.
At 18.1 x 26.3 x 15 inches, this is a smaller pellet smoker than PIT Boss's larger cabinet models, which makes it more of a single-rack, entry-size option than a high-capacity cooker. The 71 watt draw is modest and points to a simple single-auger pellet feed rather than a multi-zone system.
- 256 sq in cooking area
- Single rack
- 71W power draw
- Porcelain-coated wire, steel body
Who it's for
Fits buyers who want a lightweight, single-rack pellet smoker for smaller batches rather than large group cooks. Not the choice for anyone planning to smoke multiple racks of ribs or a full brisket alongside sides.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 46.7 pounds
- Porcelain-coated wire rack resists rust
- Compact footprint for smaller patios
- Only 256 square inches of cooking area
- Single rack limits batch size
- Includes plastic components in the build
Performance notes
The porcelain-coated wire rack should resist rust better than bare steel and wipes clean more easily. With only 71 watts of power draw, the auger and igniter system is sized for a compact single-rack unit rather than a large multi-rack smoker.
