Upgrade Replacement Parts Kit for Pit Boss and Traeger Pellet Grill

In this review the Upgrade Replacement Parts Kit is assessed for backyard grillers who need a straightforward set of replacement components for Pit Boss and Traeger style pellet grills. The kit's single biggest selling point is its practical combination of a higher-power 2.0 RPM auger motor, induction fan, and a 7-hole firepot that together are designed to get pellets feeding and burning faster, so cooks can reach grilling temperature sooner. The reviewer found it best for owners who want a value repair kit that fits existing mounting points and is easy to install.

Key Features

• 2.0 RPM auger motor: Faster start and stronger torque help feed pellets into the burn pot more quickly so the grill reaches target temperature sooner.
• No-noise induction fan: Quiet airflow circulates hardwood smoke through the cook chamber for more consistent convection and even smoke flavor.
• 7-hole fire burn pot: Heavy-duty 14 gauge steel with tapped screw holes increases air contact and space for pellets to burn efficiently.
• Hot rod igniter with fuse: Stainless sleeve hot rod with a fuse protects the circuit and provides rapid pellet ignition at power up.
• Complete hardware set: Includes screws and high-temperature resistance wire for straightforward swaps without hunting down extra parts.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIY grill owners who already own a Pit Boss or Traeger-style pellet smoker and need a consolidated parts replacement to restore function quickly. It suits hobbyists who value a stronger auger motor for faster feed and those who prefer simple, bolt-in replacements that match factory screw patterns.

It is less appropriate for those seeking OEM-branded parts with manufacturer warranty certainty or customers whose units suffer electrical or control board failures beyond the auger, fan, igniter, and fire pot. If precise temperature control is crucial and current reports of variable ignition concern you, consider diagnosing the controller separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value bundle that replaces multiple wear items at once, saving time and sourcing effort.
• The upgraded 2.0 RPM auger motor provides more power and reportedly faster pellet delivery than 1.6 RPM motors.
• Solid construction on the 7-hole firepot with tapped holes makes for an easy, accurate fit.

Cons

• Some users report mixed functionality over time, with a minority noting ignition or temperature control issues after extended use.
• The kit does not address control board or sensor problems, so it may not fix every grilling fault.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The Upgrade Replacement Parts Kit is a practical, cost-effective option for Pit Boss and Traeger-style grill owners who need to replace worn feed, ignition, and burn pot parts quickly. It offers solid value with an upgraded 2.0 RPM motor and durable firepot, and it suits DIYers who want bolt-in replacements. Buyers should be aware it will not cure controller or sensor faults and that a few users report intermittent ignition or temperature stability concerns.
