With this fantastic grill, you can make everything from smokey mac & cheese to creamy queso dip.

So if you have a smoker sitting out in the yard, I suggest you bookmark this list of Pit Boss recipes.

Because once summer hits, they’re all you’ll want to make!

1. Pit Boss Smoked Turkey with Maple BBQ Rub

Smoked turkey is a fun twist on a classic holiday favorite. It’s great when you need to feed a crowd, too, as it’s loved by kids and grown-ups alike.

In this recipe, you’ll achieve a wonderful deep smoky flavor and crisp skin with only three hours of total cook time.

The meat is so juicy you can serve it without any gravy at all. But if you want a complete meal, try one of these yummy grilled chicken sides.

2. Pellet Grill Mac and Cheese

If you need to jazz up your favorite comfort food, this pellet grill mac & cheese recipe is the perfect dish to serve!

Deliciously cheesy and lightly smoked, it’s sure to impress the whole family.

It takes a little longer to make than a box, but it’s so worth it in the end. In fact, I bet you’ll never go back to regular mac & cheese again.

3. Smoked Chicken Legs

Chicken legs are known to be the most juicy and flavorful part of the chicken, but when you smoke them, they become downright addictive.

Between the crispy, crackly skin and the tender chicken meat, these are about as good as it gets.

Though this recipe is for the Pit Boss grill, you could just as easily make it on any smoker, like the Traeger Grill.

4. Traeger Smoked Dry Rub Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are always a hit, but with the blend of seasonings in this recipe, you’ll want to make double.

Though there are many different ways to prepare chicken wings at home, many of them use a deep fryer or a lot of oil. 

That’s what’s so great about using a smoker! Pellet grills cook with no grease and no mess.

All you’re left with is juicy, crispy chicken skin and succulent meat with a perfect amount of seasoning.

5. Pit Boss Smoked Brisket

Nothing beats the burst of flavors you get when you bite into a tender beef brisket.

Cooking brisket can take up a lot of your time, but this Pit Boss recipe captures the rich, smoky flavors – minus the tricky steps.

Serve the brisket with a side of crunchy coleslaw to contrast the melt-in-your-mouth meat. Oh, and a bottle of Pinot Noir doesn’t hurt either.

6. Pit Boss Smoked Prime Rib with Horseradish Cream

For many, prime rib is the ultimate holiday roast. It’s succulent, flavorful, and juicy – but it can be hard to capture that rich smokey flavor without hours in the kitchen. 

Luckily, this recipe does just that, and it’s surprisingly easy, too.

Just cook it nice and low until the center reaches about 110°F. From there, you’ll want to crank the heat to get a nice crust.

7. Peppered Smoked Jerky 

It’s hard to find a good jerky that’s not loaded with salt, sugar, and a bunch of additives. But did you know it’s actually pretty easy to make your own?

With the Pit Boss pellet grill, it’s easier than ever to make your own tender, perfectly spiced jerky.

Choose from endless possibilities to season the meat, making it savory, sweet, or spicy.

Shrimp skewers are a thing of beauty, don’t you think?

They cook in no time, soak up flavor like a sponge, and make such a nice change from the heavier red meats and hotdogs.

Using a skewer means you can flip these babies in one, and you don’t have to worry about losing any to the grill.

With the smokey flavor and bold spices, this might just become your new favorite grill recipe.

13. Smoked Flank Steak

Have you ever had a flank steak? I get it; it’s not a particularly revered cut of beef in the fancy world of steaks.
