So far, so good!

My old Green Mountain Grill died, and I expected this grill to be an improvement over it. So far, it has been. The size is just right for our family of four—two vertical chickens, two racks of pork ribs held at an angle, four steaks. Assembly was easy with the clear directions but a second person was helpful. Startup was easier than before, and automated shutdown was a big improvement. One criticism from others is that the pellet hopper is small and there is no low-pellet alarm, but it ran for 3+ hours on a nice spring day, so it is just something to get used to.

Temperature problems I do not know how to send pictures

I do not think the smoking surface matches the digital read out I will set the temperature and it takes forever to smoke. I finally have to turn it up. It takes forever to smoke anything and this is by no means my first Smoker I've had so many I can't count them, including Yoder about seven hours for one rack of ribs today I started at 2:50 but finally had to turn it up to get them done. I was just wondering what the problem might be.

Wires broke on our newest Pitboss 500FB2

We previously owned a Pit Boss Tailgater Edition and loved it! Unfortunately after putting this one together and trying to do our first Grill on the new smoker, an error popped up on the screen and we discovered that the wires were broken in the back panel. Not excited about this at all. We have had to make shift to see if we can get the smoker to work again by doing our own maintenance because it is too much of a hassle to try to tear this one apart and ship it back.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 1-3 Business Days

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
