Best pellet smoker under $500

Postby jinzonih » Thu Aug 05, 2021 1:46 am

I was looking at the pit boss Austin XL but I would like to know if any of y'all have better recommendations. What about Traeger grills?

I have a small Pit Boss 340 that was a little less than $400 and my Son bought a 700 for almost the same amount. I've had mine 3 or 4 years now and am very pleased with it. Check out the Pit Boss in your area stores and see what they're asking for them.

There are many smokers under 500$. Bought my pitboss ($400) last September and used it most of the winter. Overall I loved the machine but the last few cooks it's overheated and shut off when it was turned to 300 to help compensate for the cold. 20-40 degrees outside. I didn't used to have that issue so I'm wondering if something is wrong. Rec Tec grills are good. You can check them also.
