The Texas BBQ Forum

Hello, new to the forum but not to smoking. Had a masterbuilt that finally gave up the ghost. I ordered a pitboss austin xl last week which is due to hit my door next week. I went back into the site to look for a cover and noticed walmart shows the austin xl no longer available. Hopefully that isn't a bad sign for my new purchase!

PS Glad to be here and learn. Looking forward to moving from an electric smoker to a pellet smoker and getting higher temps!

Hopefully you got one of the last on hand. And hopefully the warehouse/store got a tight inventory sheet. You should be able to check the status using your order number I would think. Good luck and welcome to and enjoy the forum.

Well after a quick search seems that was a Wally World only design. So restocking will depend on a new contract with the manufacturer? I'd check my order # just to see what's up with it.

Pit Boss makes a lot of variations in their pits probably some specific to the retailer.
I wouldn't worry if Wally took your order they will deliver.
BTW I saw not more than 30 minutes ago one @ Lowes don't know if it is exact but it does look just like the photo.

Also I have a PB 820 and like it.(2-3 years now)

I know that when I got my PB 24, it was a Costco only model.

This is my first post, but have been reading the posts here since the first of the year.. Great knowledge and great information.. I’m a happy Pit Boss Austin XL owner out in So Cal.. I read the Original Posters question and did a quick search myself and found that on both Pitboss’s and Walmart online websites, the Austin XL is still available online and in WalMarts that can keep them in stock.. On a side note, the PitBoss Rancher XL is no longer available on the PitBoss online site, but is still available online in short supply..

Thanks for the Info, Alan, and Welcome to the Forum

Thank You for the welcome OUP... On a side note, Your posting on April 1st and that gator still has me laughing..
