Overview
Not a horizontal pellet grill, the Pit Boss Navigator is a tall cabinet smoker that stacks food on racks above a pellet fire. A digital controller feeds pellets from a large hopper, and convection airflow moves heat and smoke through the cabinet.
Volume is the reason to buy, with enough rack space for several briskets or full foil pans at once. The upright cabinet suits low and slow smoking, so anyone wanting to sear steaks will still need a grill.
Who it's for
Built for people who smoke big batches and want long sessions without refilling pellets. Small households cooking a few burgers a week will find it oversized.
Pros and cons
- Huge vertical cooking capacity
- App control over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- Large hopper for long smokes
- Viewing window reduces door openings
- Very heavy to move
- Only one probe included
- Pellets sold separately
- No searing capability described
Performance notes
Even results come from convection airflow and the chimney exhaust, which pull heat and smoke up past every rack. The controller manages pellet feed to hold the set temperature, and the sealed door limits heat loss. A large hopper extends cook time between refills.
