Main grate area
The published area of the lowest, main cooking grate on its own.
This is the surface closest to the heat and the one to compare for grilling. Unknown means the maker publishes only a total.

Included upper rack area
The published area of the upper rack or racks supplied with the grill.
Upper-rack area suits indirect cooking. It is not the same surface as the main grate and is not a sear area.

Hopper capacity
The pellet hopper capacity stated by the manufacturer.
Pellet use depends on set temperature, weather and lid opening. Hopper size is not a stated cook duration.
The lowest cooking temperature the manufacturer documents for the controller.
A set point is not a measured grate or food temperature. Fan-only or cold-smoke modes with outside smoke devices are noted separately.
Navigator 850 PB850M (US)180 °FAdjustable in 5 °F increments; at the lowest setting a P value directly controls the auger's pellet cycle rate.Sources · 2026-10-21Pit Boss: Navigator 850 Connected Grill PB850M store pageChecked 2026-10-21.

Highest set temperature
The highest cooking temperature the manufacturer documents for the controller.
This is a control limit, not a measured grate temperature. A direct-flame or sear-zone figure is recorded in the direct-flame field instead.
Whether the manufacturer documents a way to expose food to the fire, such as a slide plate or open burn pot, and any figure it states for that zone.
Sear figures and zone names are manufacturer claims. A separately sold side burner or attachment is not part of the grill.

Wi-Fi built in
Whether the manufacturer documents a Wi-Fi radio in the grill's own controller.
Wi-Fi in the controller still needs the maker's app and, for most features, an account and a home network the grill can reach outdoors.
The documented app, Wi-Fi band, Bluetooth role, account requirement and any subscription statement.
A feature listed in the app is a manufacturer statement. No subscription stated means the source is silent, not that one can never be introduced.

Food probes included
The number of food temperature probes the manufacturer states are supplied.
A feature list naming dual probes does not establish how many are in the box. Wireless probes sold separately are not included.
Whether the manufacturer documents a pellet level sensor, gauge or low-pellet alarm for this grill.
A sight window is not a sensor. Features listed for select models are not attributed to a model unless the source names it.
Navigator 850 PB850M (US)Not verified
We have not verified this value. It is not a confirmed no or zero. Check the original source or ask the manufacturer if it affects your choice.

Questions to check before buying
Navigator 850 PB850M (US)
The store page shows SKU 11111, which is also printed on the manual cover beside 300522; neither code is explained, so model PB850M is used as the identity.
The 1,000 °F direct-flame figure, temperature range and app features are manufacturer statements, not measured results.
