Replacement Fire Burn Pots That Fit Your Pit Boss Grill

Pit Boss is known for pellet grills that give wood-fired flavor with easy digital temperature control. Inside every one of these grills is a small but important part called the fire burn pot, sometimes called a fire pot. It is the metal cup where pellets land and burn. An auger (a turning screw) pushes pellets from the hopper into the pot, a heated rod called the igniter or hot rod lights them, and air flowing through holes in the pot keeps the fire going. After many cooks, a burn pot can rust, warp or burn through, and when that happens your grill may struggle to light or hold temperature.
All six burn pots below are third-party replacements made to fit Pit Boss grills, not parts made by Pit Boss itself. They differ mainly in material (powder-coated steel or stainless steel) and whether they come alone or as a kit with a new hot rod igniter, fuse and ash remover.

74254 Fire Burn Pot for Pit
Best for: Austin XL and listed Pit Boss models
Pros
- Matches Pit Boss part 74254
- Long list of named Pit Boss models
- Screws included
Cons
- Burn pot only, no igniter
- Material listed two ways
The 74254 Fire Burn Pot for Pit Boss Austin XL is made by PETKAO and lists compatibility with original Pit Boss part numbers 74254, PB1100PS1-W011 and 31305. Its model list is the most detailed here, naming the Austin XL, several 1000 and 440 series grills, the Lexington, Navigator 550, 700 and 850, Pro Series 820-PS1 and 1100-PS1, Pro Series II 600 and 850PS2, Ranch Hand, Rancher, Rancher XL and Sportsman 500 and 1100, among others.
The pot measures 6 1/4 by 5 by 3 3/4 inches with a 3 1/2-inch diameter and 7 large air holes, made from 14 gauge steel. The features call it powder coated for rust resistance, while the specifications list porcelain steel, so the exact finish is unclear. Screws are included. The seller advises comparing it with your original pot and confirming your grill model before buying, which is good advice for every part here.
This pot suits an Austin XL owner or anyone whose model appears on its list and whose igniter still works. If your grill also struggles to light, a kit with a new hot rod makes more sense.
COMVIEE Fire Burn Pot and Hot Rod Ignitor Kit for a Two-Part Repair
The Fire Burn Pot and Hot Rod Ignitor Kit from COMVIEE replaces both parts that most often wear out together. It includes a fire burn pot, a hot rod igniter, a fuse and a set of screws. The pot measures 5 by 3 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches with 7 large air holes and a 14 gauge steel wall. The hot rod is 30 inches long overall with a high-density 200W/120V cartridge heating element.
The listing says it fits most Pit Boss pellet grills but not all, and its exclusion list is cut off after starting to name some Pit Boss Pro models, so read the full product page before ordering. For installation, set the new hot rod so it protrudes 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the fire pot. If the bonus screws do not fit, the listing suggests reusing your old ones. This kit suits a beginner doing a full ignition refresh on a grill that is slow to light.
FCCUM Fire Burn Pot Replacement Parts for a Straight Swap
The Fire Burn Pot Replacement Parts from FCCUM is a simple stainless steel burn pot with a set of screws; the highlight mentions 5 screws. It measures 5 by 5 by 3.54 inches and weighs 0.52 kg. The listing says it fits most Pit Boss pellet grills, and its highlight names the Pit Boss Pro 850 and 820.
Installation is described as quick with basic tools, and like the others it suggests reusing old screws if the new ones do not match. The listing gives few other details, such as air hole count or steel gauge. This pot suits a Pro 820 or 850 owner who only needs to replace a rusted pot and wants stainless steel rather than coated steel.

304 Stainless Steel Fire Burn Pot
Best for: Full refresh with the sturdiest steel
Pros
- 304 stainless steel
- Igniter, fuse and ash remover
- Screws included
Cons
- Excludes some Pit Boss models
The 304 Stainless Steel Fire Burn Pot and Hot Rod Ignitor Kit from COMVIEE upgrades the first COMVIEE kit with 304 stainless steel, a common food-grade stainless known for resisting rust and heat, and split welded construction. It includes a fire burn pot, hot rod igniter, ash remover, fuse and screws.
The pot measures 5 by 3 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches with 7 large air holes, and the 30-inch hot rod uses a 200W/120V heating element. The listing explains the process clearly: the auger motor moves pellets from the hopper into the burn pot, where the hot rod ignites them. Set the rod 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the pot. Fit is listed as most Pit Boss pellet grills, not all, with an exclusion list to check. This kit suits someone who wants the most durable material and every related part in one box.
Fetechmate Fire Burn Pot and Hot Rod Ignitor with Ash Remover
Best for: Kit buyers wanting an ash remover and warranty
Pros
- Igniter, fuse and ash remover
- 4 screws included
- One-year warranty
Cons
- Not for Pit Boss 1150
- Shorter 24-inch hot rod
The Fetechmate Fire Burn Pot and Hot Rod Ignitor kit includes a fire burn pot, a hot rod igniter, 4 screws, an ash remover and a fuse. The pot is 14-gauge steel with 7 large air holes and measures 5 by 3.46 by 3.78 inches. The hot rod is 24 inches long with a 3.8-inch heating stick and a 200W/120V element.
The listing says it fits Pit Boss pellet grills but not all, and specifically says it is not compatible with Pit Boss 1150 grills. Installation needs no special tools: remove the old pot, set the new hot rod 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the pot, and secure it. The ash remover helps clear buildup faster. It comes with a one-year warranty, the only warranty stated among these listings. It suits kit buyers who value a warranty, as long as their model is not excluded.

GasSaf Stainless Steel Fire Burn Pot for a Basic Replacement
Best for: Budget-minded burn pot only replacement
Pros
- Stainless steel
- 7 air holes
- Screws included
Cons
- No model list in listing
- Dimensions listed incorrectly
The GasSaf Stainless Steel Fire Burn Pot is a stainless steel pot with 7 holes, which the listing says increase contact between pellets and air and give pellets room to burn. It comes with screws, weighs 1.17 pounds and fits Pit Boss pellet grills, though not all.
The listing does not name specific Pit Boss models, and its dimensions (0.5 by 0.4 by 0.3 inches) are clearly incorrect for a burn pot, so measure your old pot and compare with the product photos before buying. This pot suits someone who has confirmed the size and simply needs a stainless replacement. Buyers who want a named model list should start with the PETKAO or FCCUM pots.
How to Choose the Right Pit Boss Fire Burn Pot
Start with your grill model. Find the model name on your grill’s label or manual and compare it to each listing’s fit list and exclusions. The PETKAO pot names the most Pit Boss models, the FCCUM highlight names the Pro 820 and 850, and the Fetechmate excludes the 1150.
Next, measure the old pot. Length, width, height and hole layout should match. Several sellers recommend comparing with your original part before ordering.
Then decide on pot only or a kit. If your grill lights reliably, a burn pot alone is enough. If it lights slowly or not at all, a kit with a new hot rod igniter and fuse fixes both likely causes in one repair.
Finally, choose the material. Stainless steel, especially 304 stainless, resists rust well. Coated steel can also resist rust but relies on its finish. Keeping the pot clean of ash helps any material last longer. Good pellets matter too; our look at fire pit pellets explains how pellet quality affects ash.
FAQ
Are these burn pots made by Pit Boss?
No. They are third-party replacements from PETKAO, COMVIEE, FCCUM, Fetechmate and GasSaf, made to fit many Pit Boss pellet grills.
Which burn pot fits the Pit Boss Austin XL?
The PETKAO 74254 pot names the Austin XL directly and lists Pit Boss part 74254. Other listings say most Pit Boss grills without naming the Austin XL.
Should I replace the igniter at the same time?
If your grill is slow to light, yes. The COMVIEE kits and Fetechmate kit include a hot rod igniter and fuse so you can replace both at once.
How far should the hot rod stick into the burn pot?
The kit listings say to set the new hot rod so it protrudes 1/8 to 1/4 inch into the fire pot.
Is stainless steel better for a burn pot?
Stainless steel, and especially 304 stainless, resists rust well, which is why several of these pots use it. Regular cleaning of ash helps any burn pot last longer.
What if the included screws do not fit?
Several listings say you can reuse the screws from your old burn pot if the bonus screws do not work on your grill.
