Academy has PBX marked down to $199

[Lynn Dollar]

I paid $150 in the fall of 2024, best $150 I ever spent.

Even comes with free assembly.

[Lynn Dollar]

Can't beat a deal like that.

[LegoMySearwood]

How far away do they deliver?

[LegoMySearwood]

Sweet. Only $255 to ship it plus $199 cost. $150 off retail but not the deal I thought for me.

[STEbbq]

Free assembly not available with delivery. I guess I am just out of luck.

Sometimes I really hate this website...I have wanted a PBX but couldn't justify it until I saw this...hard to pass up one for $400 off list price...picking it up tomorrow...

[Mosca]

Ha!

Thank goodness I don’t have any place to put one that doesn’t involve going up and down stairs.

[BKYDBBQ]

I also got $20 off as a first responder so after taxes total cost was $190.75

[Spinaker]

I love mine. You can fit so much food in that baby!

[keithandmissy]

Ok, you win. I have mine ordered for pickup. Hopefully, it is still truly in stock.

[jfmorris]

I don't need it, as I have plenty of smoking capacity on the combination of the SNS Kamado and Performer Deluxe, but probably would have ordered it if I could order for free store pickup. Sadly, they don't give me a pickup option at the local Academy, and shipping is $255!

There is a store about an hour away that has it for pickup, but I can't make it happen. Too much going on with medical stuff these days to fool with a new smoker...

[steve0617]

$256 in shipping :-(

[Huskee]

YIKES!

[BKYDBBQ]

Here it is...Picked it up on Friday...only complaint is that I wanted it in the box...This thing is a beast...

[Lynn Dollar]

I found the PBX difficult to move, not just because it was heavy, but because it was bulky and hard to get a good handle on.

So I got this dolly ............

Lynn Dollar I have my PBC for 8 years and I just bought a dolly to move it around on my deck...I will likely be getting one for the PBX in the future depending on how and where I use it...

[jfmorris]

Well, I just got a email notice from Academy that this was back in stock - and it is available for pickup for the $199 price at my local Academy, within the hour. With "limited stock".

Now I just gotta convince myself that I am good this summer with JUST my kamado and kettle for smoking.... I know the PBX could likely do 8 to 12 racks of ribs at once, and more chicken at once, but.... I don't cook for huge parties anymore either, and can smoke 5-6 racks of ribs with rib racks, elevated grates, and other tricks on the kamado or kettle.

Dude, stop torturing yourself. If you’ve never had a barrel you have the perfect excuse, and then you can really say "I’ve tried them all!".

[BKYDBBQ]

I true pitmaster club fashion I will help be an enabler of MCS...

From the words of HawkerXP...PBX, PBX, PBX...

[Lynn Dollar]

I bought the PBX for $150 , knowing I could sell it for that. And I was always curious about cooking with a drum. So this was the chance to play with a drum smoker and then sell it for what I paid for it.

If I didn't already have two WSM 22's I'd jump on this too.
