Hi from Rhode island.  I have been wanting to get into smoking for years and finally i am ready to take the plunge.  I am looking at getting the Pit Boss Austin XL. I understand it only lasts a couple of seasons at best but for that price i think it might be the best deal in starting out.  As a newb am i right or wrong.  Thx for your input

I'll let the more experienced pellet smokers answer your question.  But welcome to the board!  I've learned a lot from the people on this site.  Very knowledgeable and motivated to help.

 Welcome! Love the handle - very original.
 
 Being new at something is always a challenge..Any first pit especially using a different fuel, will steepen the learning curve... We all learned a great deal from our first pits. If you had that knowledge you would go straight to the top without looking back..The

Austin should be a good starter... It is a great time to start pellet cooking with what I hope is a lot of good weather ahead.

Welcome! That Austin may fool you; I've had my PB 820 for over three years now, and it's still going strong!

Welcome!  I don’t know why you think that grill is disposable, with some reasonable care I bet you could get several times that.  A little tlc and the occasional repair should keep it going for years.

Welcome Smokefathers!  I am sure you will have that XL humming as a 4 season pit once the bug hits you and you start tasting the goodness the two of you produce!
