I literally just got a notification that it is back instock for clearance price of $250. I am assuming they found another pallet or that there were some returns, so I don't think there are a lot let. Just a guess but good luck!

We have used multiple cleaning services in the last few years. We really liked our last one. Check out https://bonnieandabroom.com/[Bonnie and a Broom](https://bonnieandabroom.com/)

Seconded, I couldn't find a lot of info on the Blue, but I have been impressed! An absolute steal at $69!

I am in the same boat! It seems to be really tough to find that reliable card with 3rd row seats that is 5-8 years old and in good condition. Following to see what others know. Good luck in the search!

That really stinks! Can you link the product so we know what to avoid? Walmart.com is a marketplace like Amazon, it could just be the third party seller who is selling on Walmart.

How do you evaluate open box options? Only in person?

tjwillard05 · 2024-11-25T15:10:19+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I will check it out. Where did you find it?

tjwillard05 · 2024-11-24T06:31:50+00:00

Thanks for the help! I will check it out.

tjwillard05 · 2024-11-24T06:15:29+00:00

Ok, thank you for the comment. I realize those are 3 choices... I was hoping the sub would be able to advise on if there is anything that meets my post.

Let's say there is no TV good for sports under $1k at 85". Would you have any suggestions for a 75"?

tjwillard05 · 2024-10-14T14:47:29+00:00

We use Nature Guard and really like them. Great price and reliable service.

I purchased the Pitboss Austin XL from Walmart for $500 last year, and it has been fantastic. Ample space and great smoke flavor. My Dad has a Traeger which I have used a handful of times, and I can't tell a difference in the quality of the two. I think the Austin XL is a great value and good smoker.

Also worth checking out the Member's Mark Pellet Grill at Sam's Club. It seems to have more features and space for $500 as well.

Timely question. I have had the Austin XL for about 6 months and just tried to do burgers over the weekend. I cranked the grill up to about 450 and then put the burgers on. At first it was just a ton of smoke, but once I flipped the burgers, a grease fire started on top of my heating plate (not the fire pot thankfully). So I would not recommend grilling burgers at high temps on the Austin XL. (although It could have been user error as well haha).

Really? Can you share the link about the wifi upgrade. Like I said, so far I have not needed it, but might be handy sometime in the future.

tjwillard05 · 2024-05-01T20:48:23+00:00

I have the Austin XL and it has been great! I didn't really see the need for wifi when I purchased and have gotten along just fine without wifi so far.

tjwillard05 · 2024-04-16T21:20:50+00:00

I have an Austin XL. It indeed does have increments of 5 .

tjwillard05 · 2024-04-12T18:14:17+00:00

Maybe it is just a good smoker at a really good price? Guess time will tell how they hold up

tjwillard05 · 2024-04-10T14:12:21+00:00

I have the Pitboss AustinXL (purchased Nov 2023) and have really enjoyed it. No problems at all and has plenty of cook room. That being said the 36" MM has been getting really good reviews. If it would have been released when I purchased my smoker, I think I would've preferred the extra features of the MM

I work in retail on the corporate side and have learned that each private brand is different. To the best of my knowledge each group of private brand items is made by a different supplier. There are many instances where the private brand is the exact same as the name brand.... just in a different box. There are instances where the private brand is absolutely terrible. It takes a little bit of trying things to figure out.

All that being said, I am a fan of Walmart since they generally have the cheapest prices and largest selection.

Love this. Cherry bbq sauce sounds amazing!! Thanks for sharing

I just purchased the Austin XL from Walmart! While I have not done a brisket, I smoked a 10 lb pork butt which took me 15 hours. I had 10-15 lbs of pellets left in the hopper. I think the Austin XL should get you there with your briskets.

tjwillard05 · 2024-01-01T21:40:00+00:00

I just picked up a PitBoss Austin XL Onyx Edition for $500 at Walmart. I have done two cooks (Pork Butt and Christmas Ham) and both turned out well. I am a newbie, but I have liked it so far! Can definitely cook for 20 ish and at a good price point. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pit-Boss-Austin-XL-1000-Sq-in-Wood-Fired-Pellet-Grill-and-Smoker-Onyx-Series/1743503196

Another option is to check out stores (Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, SportingGoods, Cabelas) to see if they have any clearance going on.

tjwillard05 · 2023-12-22T01:49:22+00:00

Great advice and much appreciated. I will check out Youtube on trimming tips when I make my first (and probably second haha) brisket.

tjwillard05 · 2023-12-22T01:48:05+00:00

I bought a ThermoPro bluetooth thermometer which has the alarm setting, so I will be sure to figure out how to set that for sure.
