50 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Five burners and 673 sq in of cooking area put the PIT Boss 10783 in the same tier as grills that often cost more. The stainless steel construction holds up better to weather and grease than painted steel alternatives, and the freestanding install means it connects to a standard propane tank and sits on a patio without needing to be built in.
At 172 lb, this is a grill you set up once and leave in place. The 63 x 26 x 40 in footprint is substantial, so measure your deck or patio space before buying. Five independent burners give you genuine flexibility to run multiple heat zones or shut down sections when cooking for smaller groups.
With 50 reviews at 4.2 stars, the sample size is smaller than many competitors, but the rating is positive. Buyers who need a capable, larger-capacity propane grill at or under $800 will find it a reasonable option in that price range.

Performance notes
Propane fuel with five burners and 673 sq in primary cooking area gives this grill excellent capacity. The BTU figure is not published in the spec sheet, which is a gap for buyers comparing heat output. Stainless steel construction is the standout material spec. At 172 lb and 63 x 26 x 40 in, this is a large, stable unit that will stay put on a patio deck. The freestanding installation means no built-in enclosure is needed.
What buyers say
At 4.2 stars from 50 reviews, sentiment is positive but the review count is modest. Buyers who left ratings appear satisfied with the build quality and size. The smaller review pool means less certainty about edge cases like long-term durability or burner longevity compared to grills with hundreds of reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Is the PIT Boss 10783 a good grill for large cookouts?
Yes. Five burners and 673 sq in of cooking surface give you enough room to cook for eight to twelve people at once depending on what you are grilling. It is one of the more capable freestanding propane grills in the under-$800 range by cooking area alone.
Does the stainless steel construction on this grill require special maintenance?
Stainless steel grills benefit from regular cleaning after use to prevent grease buildup and surface staining. Wiping down the exterior with a mild cleaner and keeping the grates clean after each cook will help preserve the finish. Stainless holds up to outdoor exposure better than painted steel but is not completely maintenance-free.
