Anyone familiar with Pit Boss pellet poopers?

[BFlynn]

One of my neighbors is selling one cheap bc they turned vegan. If I were a better neighbor I'd bring them some ribs and convert them back.

Has anyone used the Austin model? Or familiar with the brand? I know they're fairly cheap for pellet poopers. What's their biggest short coming? Do they leak? Do they not keep temp?
Do they have flaws that can fixed with cheap mods?


I seem to have second hand MCS!

I’d take it. The challenge I have heard is inconsistent temps across the grill and they can be wildly off. However, they are built very well for the price point and have good customer service with a 5 year warranty. I think the warranty might transfer so it could be worth investigating.

i understand some folks install PID controllers from third parties that really help.

My brother bought a 700s and has since bought a new PID controller, smoke stack and heavy D deflector from Smokedaddy to get it got hold temps. It ran hot always before that.

I might take a chance on it. Im sure my wife won't notice another cooker in the car port

If the deal is right a couple aftermarket parts don’t hurt so bad. Plus those parts are harder to notice than the cooker itself ;-)
