    Pit Boss 540 Pellet Grill Question

    Looking to grab one on sale. Anybody know the actual grill size? 540” could be 20x27, 18x30, 10x54. Can’t seem to find the dimensions of the cooking surface. Thanks.

    Does this one have 2 grates in it? If so they would total the 2 cooking surfaces to come up with 540.

    Are you talking about the actual cooking surface excluding the upper "warming rack"? I've never actually measured one but the replacement grates are listed as 17.25" X 10.25" and there are two of them depicted in the pictures I've seen.

    Yep. I’d like the main cooking grate size. Never thought to look at the parts.

    You should be able to see the specs on any site that sells them.

    Not necessarily. The manufacturer's listed specifications include all "cooking" surfaces, including the elevated grate that many might consider an area to keep food hot although I suppose it could be used as a cooking surface if you wanted to use it for smoking meats. My impression is that the OP was asking about the "grilling" surface, which in this case is 353 sq in (17.25" X 20.5"), NOT the entire 540 sq in listed on the manufacturer's web site.

    Forgive me if I was wrong......

    Couldn’t find the manual on the 540, but on page 16 of the 550 manual it states the main cooking area is 400 sq. inches. Warming rack is 142.
