Rated 7.1/10 on its documented specs. Made for weekend smoking without babysitting a fire.
The Pit Boss 700 Carbon Series next to the two pellet grills rated closest to it.
Fed by a 13.5 lb hopper. Listings usually count the upper rack too, so measure your biggest cook against the main grate.
The sweet spot for most backyards: a weeknight dinner for four, or a Saturday brisket with room for a few sausages next to it.
Low and slow at 180°F for brisket, and up to 500°F when you want to grill hot and fast.
Read the inside of the meat without opening the lid, so the heat and the smoke stay where they belong.
Set it, close the lid, go and do something else: that is the pellet grill deal. Without WiFi you check the controller in person, which most people do with a drink in hand anyway.
The probe in the box tells you when the meat is done, so the lid stays shut and the smoke stays in.
A family of four, with room for guests on Saturday. 718 sq in fits ribs and a tray of wings at the same time, without being so big that a Tuesday dinner looks lost on it.
The 13.5 lb hopper is fine for an afternoon cook; keep a bag close for all-nighters.
These points come from the seller's own listing, so read them as the brand's claims.
Assembly day. Plan an hour or two with a second pair of hands. Most manuals ask for a first burn-in before the first cook.
Its spot. Level ground, a few feet from the wall and anything that can melt, an outlet in reach. A cover keeps the pellets and the controller dry between cooks.
Warranty & support. 3-year warranty, as stated in the listing
These are the seller's promises, not ours. Keep your order confirmation, and ask who handles repairs before you order the Pit Boss 700 Carbon Series.

We like the Pit Boss 700 Carbon Series for a family-size 718 sq in grate and 180°F to 500°F on the dial. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 7.1/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Honestly, the catch: no WiFi, while most of this list has it. We'd pick it if you cook for the family most weeks and for friends now and then; otherwise, put it next to the Pit Boss 500 Carbon Series first.
Before the Pit Boss 700 Carbon Series lands on your porch, check whether you will miss WiFi: there is no app here, so long cooks mean walking out to read the controller.
718 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner.
It plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord.
The hopper holds 13.5 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks.
Plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.

Both score 7.1/10. The Pit Boss 700 Carbon Series brings more cooking space (718 sq in), so it has the edge on paper.
We rate it 7.1/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
Its listing states 718 sq in of cooking space, a stated 180–500°F range, a meat probe in the box and a 13.5 lb hopper. Those are the seller's figures; how it holds temperature in your own wind and weather can't be read from a listing.
How much you really cook: 718 sq in is stated, often the main grate and the upper rack added together. Measure your biggest cook (two briskets? six racks of ribs?) and lay it out in our grate area planner. Power at the spot: it plugs into a regular outdoor outlet for the igniter, the fan and the auger. A grounded outlet close by beats a long extension cord. Pellets and long cooks: the hopper holds 13.5 lb. How long that lasts depends on the temperature and the weather, so keep a bag next to the grill for long low-and-slow cooks. Cleaning: plan to vacuum the ash out of the fire pot every few cooks, and keep the grease tray clean: that is where most flare-ups start.
