Pit Boss Grills was owned by Dansons, the same company that makes the popular Louisiana Pellet Smokers. Both companies were acquired by W.C. Bradley, makers of Char-Broil and Oklahoma Joe’s. They are headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Along with Traeger, Louisiana was one of the early entrants to the pellet smoker market. They produce a wide variety of smokers, kamados, griddles, grills and accessories.
The Pit Boss line was developed to offer a decent, affordable pellet smoker to major retail chains that competes with Traeger at a lower price. Dansons claims Pit Boss has catapulted past all competitors except Traeger, and sales have surpassed their Louisiana Grills.
