We appreciate all the time and hard work you're putting in for this review.

Google isn't helping me find this grill at the price you paid...even at Wal-Mart.

Here you go Jack. Just have this shipped to store for free shipping. Same controller hopper set-up. 440 square inches. This model comes with the smokestack and a cool side shelve that has a built in serving tray. Pretty much the same animal in a fancier package. I grabbed mine at a clearance price but this a loaded grill for 400 bones........

We were ready to pull the trigger on the model in the link I sent to Jack but stumbled upon three of the PB700FB in the nursery at our local Wal-Mart. Never hurts to swing over to your local store and see if one is setting around. That is how I got our Akorn on the cheap as well.

I may go to Walmart tomorrow to see what they have.
$400 +tax is a right smart.  I may have to wait till Christmas...not that Deb would spring for it, but she'll probably be more apt to say "yes".  Maybe Tomcrete can write a note for me.
Looks like a good deal to me.

It is a good deal. Got some more cooks coming up. The jury is still out on it but there are guys on the Pit Boss Facebook page that have had theirs two years and have not had to do a thing to em. Hot rods are still going strong.

Okay. Found out some model differences the hard way. The Pit Boss "Deluxe" models come with a smokestack, a bottle opener and a side shelve. The side shelve is sweet. It has a built in serving tray you can set your food on and carry into the house.

I ordered a side shelve for my unit. If the model number ends in FB, it does not have a side shelve or smokestack. The unit works fine without it. I ordered a side shelve and it is solid with 4 utensil hooks and a cool towel rack.

In a previous post in this thread I posted a link to a deluxe version. It comes with all the goodies and is a great bargain for only 400 bucks.

So I get my cover and side shelve and put the cover on first. Nice material and fits like a glove.


I remove the 4 bolts on the side and attach the side shelve. Very heavy duty. Gonna like it.


Go to put the cover on and it does not cover my side shelve.......bummer


Call customer service. They are very nice and helpful. They explained that the cover I ordered is for the right model without the side shelve. The PB700D deluxe grill cover will fit my unit now that I have added the side shelve and made it a "deluxe" model.

No worries just return your cover and we will send you the correct one.

OOOPS......I unwrapped the cover. They wont take it back. "Really" I tell them. nothing they can do.

Not the end of the world. The unit is covered and my side shelve isn't. I have a covered patio now so I am cool.

So the moral of the story is: before you order a cover, call Pit Boss. Tell them your model number.............and if you have added a side shelve to it, just tell em and they will get you the right one.  :)

Got this link from Walmart for the big deluxe PB820 deluxe.

Comparable size comparisons would be to the Traeger Texas and GMG Jim Bowie.

This grill has 820 square inches of cooking space and it will feed a hungry crowd.

You can get free ship to store. Just have a buddy at the house to unload this heavy beast

Keeping it simple tonight. Grilled some brats and dogs without using the flame broiler


15 minutes and one flip I got these. Pit was set at 400 and the deflector really does the job for grilling/searing
