Pit Boss Platinum Lockhart Pellet Grill vs Weber Searwood XL 600 Pellet Grill

Buy the Lockhart if you need to feed a crowd and want a smoker cabinet plus a pellet grill in one footprint. Its 2,136 sq. in. across two chambers and 40 lb. hopper dwarf the Searwood XL 600's single 6271 cm² (about 972 sq. in.) grate and 9 kg hopper. The Weber is the better-built, simpler cooker: it sears hotter (600°F vs 500°F), heats in 15 minutes, and owners rate it 4.6/5 across 1,744 ratings. The Lockhart's stainless body and cabinet win on capacity and versatility; the Weber wins on sear heat, heat-up speed and proven reliability.

• Choose the Lockhart if you cook for large groups, want a separate smoking cabinet above the main grill, and need a big hopper for long overnight cooks.
• Choose the Searwood XL 600 if you want one well-built grill that sears hot, heats fast, and has a track record of strong owner ratings.
