Default Pit Boss

I’m looking at purchasing a pit boss pellet grill, one of the smaller models. I would like to know any feedback you can offer as to wether it is A good unit. I need to stay well below the $1000.00 level.
Thanks for the help

i have the 850 pro series. I have had it for a little over a year now. No issues with it. Keep the temp probe clean and get in the habit of cleaning out the ashpot on the regular and you should have no issues!

Have a pit boss knock off from princess auto.
It’s big and works great.
Modified it a bit so a pizza oven from GMG will work, must say that is awesome.
And…. $399 on sale.
Have used it tons no issues.
Was told by PA tha5 pit boss built these for Sam’s Club retail in the states.

I use mine all the time. Love it.
The only problem I’ve had is when it’s real cold the electronics don’t always work.
Had to drag it in the house in a hurry one Christmas to warm it up haha
Didn’t take long and it was outside making the best turkey I’ve ever had

Not a pit boss, but if you are in the market for a small pellet smoker, this will do the Job and probably one of the better prices you will see.

I saw that the other day when we went to London Drugs...

Have to say, very sturdy & seems well made. And the ($500) price can't be beat.

I have the 700R2 from Peavymart (they ALWAYS have a sale at least once a year) and it does everything I want, I added a cold smoker and a Wi-fi controller.
