I still have my 700 FB well over a year now and not a problem with it. A solid performer at a great price point. It has pretty big temp swings but don't let that bother you.......it is programmed that way for a bunch of tasty smoke.

Its my wife's temp swings that worry me Smoke ;) ;' ;) ;) ;)

OK I went to Walmart today to buy the Pit Boss 700FB

I raided by spare change bottle & came up with $70.00 plus change. I waited a week going back & forth on should i buy it for $150.00.  or will my wife kill me as money has been short around our house but I figured with tax...... only around $89.00 would show up on the CC....not bad right????  You can't kill someone for $89.00 Right? ::) ::) ::)

On the back of my mind I was thinking the wise one Pam was right I should buy the 22 Weber original for $50.00 on clearance.

I don't need a pellet grill. yet the sear feature is great...baking :P :P :P & it would be fun to learn on a new cooker. Slow cooking would be nice!

But


I am a simple guy that is not crazy about smoked food (the Yankee in me).

I love my 18.5 Weber & a Gasser but I always wanted the 22 inch.

Space to store it & buying more fuel?

The money :'( :'( :'( :'(

I have always just loved charcoal & gas.

I love my wife & want to stay married ??? ??? ???


But

When it came down to it I did not listen to Pam or my wife(don't buy a thing) & figured This is too good a deal to pass up... I must buy it ;D ;D ;D

So my change jar in hand 45 minutes later I pull into Walmart. I meet the department Mgr. on the way in. He says I still have the three in the trailer plus I put one on the floor ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D He says yes I will give it to you for the $150.00 as promised. :D :D :D :D

He gets called up front so they get the store manager to help me (I think to myself there goes my special price). He said we cleaned out the trailer & they are all gone :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(   I said what...can't be...... ??? ??? ???  He said yes they are all gone... I was sad & very very disappointed at that very moment. :'( :'( :'(



All of a sudden it just hits me.........You may not believe me but it hit me that the PB was not for me but I always wanted the 22 inch Weber. It was number one on my wish list.

God was working for me & Pam was right all along.......I really did not need or want the pitboss but always wanted the 22 Weber.


So i ran over & the one $50.00 22 inch weber was still there I was all over it like a fly on _____ well you get it.

The department manager comes back in & comes to me to say he was sorry. He went on to say  "I thought we still had 4 left but we don't."  I said hey it happens thanks for looking but I will buy this Weber now.  He says Look you have been great both times you were here I will give you the Weber for $20.00.......I said wow thanks :D :D :D :D :D

So what did i learn:

Buy what you really want & need not just a great deal.

God talks to us we just need to listen.

Don't get upset when things don't go the way you think they should.

Never question Pam ;) ;) ;) ;)

I love my wife & i will still be alive.

Steaks ON :D :D :D :D :D   All well that ends well!


Ok My new $20.00 Grill

It is the Original one. The paint has a few marks that i will touch up but no dents & the cover fits well.

All the parts are there

It is black

Plus it was all put together (sorry Tom & Tommy I know no fun ;) ;) ;))



Ok now one more surprise the department manager said if I find one (PB) in the store I will give it to you for $100.00------Ok i will take back what i just said for that price I would have to get it  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Right??????????    LOL

Wow! I was pulling for you on the Pitboss. That sear feature is why I bought it over a Camp Chef and it works surprisingly well! I'd still encourage you to try a pellet grill, I think you'd find its level of smokiness just right.

Now, about that $20.00 deal. You DESERVE that at the very least for the roller coaster they made you ride, lol! I know you'll enjoy it and smile everytime you use it thinking about all of that moolah you saved :)

Congrats on a heck of a deal!!

I am with RG on not giving up on a pellet grill. However, it seems to have ended nicely.

Rg & smoke I agree!!!!!!  but you guys are getting me in trouble  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)   One more thing I have a new friend in that department MGR.  After Christmas I am heading back there as he still feels there is one or two lost in the store. I am checking the chairs, sofas & car seats for change until then as my coin dish is empty ;) ;) ;) ;)
