Pit Boss Navigator 850 Series WiFi & Bluetooth Freestanding Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker
The Pit Boss Navigator 850M WiFi & Bluetooth Freestanding Wood Pellet Grill & Smoker is a connected pellet cooking system with 932 square inches of cooking space, a 30-pound hopper, and temperatures from 180°F to 500°F. It is designed for outdoor cooks who want the flexibility to smoke, roast, bake, grill, and sear, including direct-flame searing at temperatures up to 1,000°F.
Overview
The Pit Boss Navigator 850M is a freestanding wood pellet grill and smoker built for everything from low-and-slow barbecue to high-heat grilling. Its digital controller allows temperature adjustments in 5°F increments, while fan-forced convection circulates heat throughout the cooking chamber for consistent indirect cooking.
Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity let you monitor and adjust the grill through the Pit Boss Grills app. Two included meat probes provide internal food-temperature readings, helping you follow the progress of longer cooks without repeatedly opening the lid.
The Navigator 850M offers 932 square inches of total cooking surface for preparing multiple foods or larger meals. A 30-pound pellet hopper supports extended cooking sessions, and its viewing window makes it easy to check the remaining fuel supply.
Pit Boss also equips this pellet grill with a rapid igniter, folding front and side shelves, tool hooks, and a lower storage shelf. Maintenance features include an easy-access grease tray, a gravity-assisted hopper cleanout, and a removable undermount burn pot for easier ash removal.
Why Choose This Product?
The Pit Boss Navigator 850M is well suited to cooks who want wood-fired flavor without managing a traditional offset smoker. Its pellet-fueled system combines controlled heat with fan-forced convection, allowing the same grill to handle slow smoking, everyday grilling, and other outdoor cooking methods.
Its Flame Broiler Lever expands that versatility by providing access to direct-flame searing at temperatures up to 1,000°F. You can smoke at a low temperature, finish food over direct flame, or cook different recipes within the grill’s standard 180°F to 500°F operating range.
The connected controller is especially helpful during long cooking sessions. WiFi and Bluetooth access, 5°F temperature adjustments, and two meat probes give you more ways to follow and manage the cook while handling other preparation or cleanup tasks nearby.
Cooking Experience
Fill the 30-pound hopper with 100% all-natural hardwood pellets, select a cooking temperature, and let the grill’s rapid igniter start the fire. The controller maintains temperatures between 180°F and 500°F, while the convection fan moves heat around the cooking chamber.
Lower settings are appropriate for slow-smoking meats and other foods that benefit from extended cooking. Higher settings support roasting and grilling, while the Flame Broiler Lever enables direct-flame cooking for searing at temperatures up to 1,000°F.
The folding front and side shelves provide supplemental room for ingredients, trays, and utensils during preparation. Integrated tool hooks keep frequently used grilling tools close at hand, and the bottom shelf can hold pellets, accessories, or other supplies.
After cooking, runoff and drippings collect in the easy-access grease tray. The removable undermount burn pot simplifies ash removal, while the redesigned hopper cleanout uses gravity to help empty pellets when changing pellet varieties or preparing the grill for storage.
