It’s easy to find a good gas grill for an outdoor kitchen, but when it comes to high-end, built-in pellet grills there aren’t many good options. Well, there weren’t, because one of the most trusted names in smokers has released a new built-in pellet grill.
The Pitts & Spitts Built-In Pellet Grill has everything that the brand is known for, and some new advancements. The body of the grill, of course, is made from 10ga 304 marine grade stainless steel. That means that it’s will stay looking great, which is what you want as a centerpiece in an outdoor kitchen.
Beyond looking great, it will produce delicious barbecue for a really long time too. It has a fully welded construction for added quality and to keep grease and smoke inside the cooker. The ignitor that gets the party started and the pellets smoking is rated for 100,000 cycles.

Controller
Pellet grills are all about convenience, and this one is no different. It features Pitts & Spitts proprietary touchscreen controller, which finishes of the high-end look of the grill. It’s also a wireless controller, so it can be controlled remotely.
Cooking Innovation
The innovation doesn’t end with the controller, it’s also in the mechanical components of the grill. The HeatSpreader deflector plate, which sits over the pellet fire pot, is a proprietary design that promises even heating across the grill.
There’s also a trapdoor drip pan that gives direct access to the fire pot. This lets you direct heat sear on the grill for functionality beyond just smoking.
All that grilling and smoking throws off a bunch of grease. The grease catch bins and grease chute are removeable for easy cleaning, even in the dishwasher.
Made in the USA
Pitts & Spitts cookers all have high quality craftsmanship and material, but to top it all off they’re made in the USA. That’s a hard thing to find, especially in the grill industry.
Their cookers aren’t just assembled in the USA either. I’ve personally toured their facility in Houston, Texas and watched grills start as sheets of steel and craftsman form them into the finished product.
Conclusion
Pitts & Spitts is doing big things this year. They recently launched a high-end griddle, only to follow it up with a premium built-in pellet grill. Their new grill checks all the boxes and is a solid option for any outdoor kitchen build.
