The PitBoss 1000 XL Pellet Grill is almost exactly the same as the PB Austin XL that’s sold at Walmart. The 1000 XL that’s sold at Menards has the same Non PID Controller that the PB Austin XL has, so there’s no WiFi or Bluetooth connection with the grill. Overall, it’s a great Pellet Grill for the money. FYI... To get a head start in the understanding of the proper operation of your new PB 1000 XL Pellet Grill, I would download and read the Owners Manual and read the “Operating Instructions” section in the owners manual, pages 13-17.

This section is a very important read that will help You understand the Startup procedures and the P-settings functions of your new pellet grill. FYI. Never take shortcuts in the proper operation and understand of your new pellet grill... Not that you will, but many new Pellet Grill Owners do. I also posted some helpful tips for another forum member that’s a must read as well.

Also, know these pellet grills got some weight to them, so be careful when lifting anything heavy by yourself. Good luck and go make some great BBQ.
