Search “Pit Boss Pro Series 1150” and most of what you’ll find is Lowe’s — because that’s the only place Pit Boss sells it. Here’s what the Pro Series 1150 actually is across its three generations, and the nearly identical grill sold everywhere else under a different name.
Quick Answer
The Pit Boss Pro Series 1150 is a Lowe’s-exclusive pellet grill sold across three generations — PS2, PS3, and DX — all landing around 1,130-1,158 sq in of cook space with a 180-500°F range and 1,000°F direct-flame searing, per Lowe’s own product listings. The newest PS3 adds a 4.3-inch WiFi/Bluetooth touchscreen that the older PS2 didn’t have, without changing the 32 lb hopper or temperature range. If you don’t have a Lowe’s nearby, Pit Boss sells a near-twin called the Navigator 1150 through its own store: $599 for the base non-WiFi version (1,158 sq in, 32 lb hopper) or $899.99 for the WiFi-equipped Connected model, per Pit Boss’s current listings — same size class, different name, different channel.

Pro Series 1150 — three generations, one Lowe’s aisle
Pit Boss Pro Series 1150 PS3 (Lowe's exclusive)
- Only sold through Lowe's — a Pit Boss owners' forum thread specifically flags the Pro Series line as a "Lowe's exclusive," and no listings for it turn up at other major retailers.
- The 4.3-inch WiFi/Bluetooth touchscreen is the headline upgrade over the older PS2 generation, per Lowe's own product listing — the 32 lb hopper and 180-500°F range carry over unchanged.
- A separate Pro Series 1150 DX variant trims the hopper to 30 lb and swaps in a matte-black finish with Pit Boss's Rapid Igniter instead of the touchscreen — check the model number (PS2/PS3/DX) printed on the unit before comparing prices, since Lowe's carries more than one generation at once.
- A Pit Boss forum thread recalls the 1150 launching at the same $599-600 price point as its 850 sibling's $499, suggesting the line is positioned as Lowe's budget-tier Pro Series entry, not a premium model.

Pit Boss Navigator 1150 Connected (Model 10914/PB1150GW)
- $899.99 through Pit Boss's own store, per its current listing — $300 more than the non-WiFi Navigator 1150 base model, for the same cook space and hopper.
- The base Navigator 1150 (model 10528) lists at $599 with no WiFi, nearly identical to the Lowe's-exclusive Pro Series 1150's price point and spec sheet, just sold through a different retail channel.
- A custom-fit cover is included standard on both Navigator 1150 variants — a $60 value per Pit Boss's own listing — which isn't called out as included on the Pro Series 1150 Lowe's listings.
- Same 5-year warranty as the rest of Pit Boss's pellet-grill lineup, per Pit Boss's published warranty terms.
Neither grill is bigger or smaller in any way that matters — this is a retail-channel split, not a product tier split. The real decision is where you’d rather shop and whether you want WiFi.
Which Pit Boss “1150” should I buy
- Have a Lowe’s nearby and want to see it in person: the Pro Series 1150 — but confirm the generation (PS2/PS3/DX) on the floor tag before comparing its price to anything online.
- Want WiFi without hunting for the right Lowe’s generation: the Navigator 1150 Connected at $899.99, available through Pit Boss’s own store.
- Want the lowest price and don’t need app control: either the base Navigator 1150 ($599) or whichever Pro Series 1150 generation Lowe’s has on clearance — they land at nearly the same price.
- Want the included cover without buying it separately: the Navigator 1150, which bundles a $60 custom-fit cover on both variants.
