Was wondering if anyone on the forum maybe has one of these and what they think?
I saw the Lexington 500 for $300, looks like a good deal.
I read a couple reviews on Walmart's sites about support and temp issues.
They also have the Pit Boss Classic 700, $400.
Seems to have a slightly higher score and reviews. They didn't have this one assembled, but I'm assuming they all are similar in quality, performance, etc.
How is Pit Boss's support, sounds like lots of people complaining about parts and not getting much help?
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Any feedback on 2 Walmart pit bosses
Don't have a Pit Boss, but I am always leery of reviews.
I once "tried" to post a bad 1 star review for a product with no reviews.
Within an hour it had a 5 star review.
Coincidence? I think not...

The parent company for Pit Boss is Dansen out of Canada (I think the US HQ is in Arizona) Dansen is a old reputable company that makes the higher end Louisiana line of pits and other wood pellet burning products.
No doubt the volume of sales will impact the support for the Pit Boss line but the parent company is good.
I have a Pit Boss grill for 5 years or so (actually have 2) now but haven't needed support. I also have one of their fireplaces for 10 or so years the support for it has been superb.

Thanks for the feedback and personal experience.
That is good to hear and try to be leery of online ratings and reviews, so I wanted to ask on this forum, friends, etc.

Don't get me wrong, not all reviews are bad, you just need to look at how many reviews there are, does it seem like a reasonable # for the particular product, and does the review look like a canned answer.
There are those that look at a glass half full, and some half empty.
I look at the glass is 3/4 empty. But that's just me. haha
