Pit Boss Platinum Lockhart Pellet Grill vs Traeger Westwood Pellet Grill

The Lockhart is a much bigger, heavier cooker: over 2,000 square inches, a 40 lb hopper, a smoking cabinet above the pellet grill, and a 500°F ceiling for searing. The Traeger Westwood is a simpler, smaller grill with a 653 sq in area, an 18 lb hopper, a 450°F top end and a 7-year warranty. Buy the Lockhart for large cooks and open-flame searing; buy the Westwood for smaller, easier cooks and long-term coverage.

• Choose the Lockhart if you cook for crowds, want a separate smoking cabinet, and need high-heat searing and a large hopper.
• Choose the Traeger Westwood if you want a compact, easy pellet grill with a long warranty and don't need a second cooking chamber.
