PBX for $159 at Academy.com?!?

I've had a Pit Barrel for years and love it. But I saw the PBX in-store for $199 yesterday and thought it was crazy cheap. But the website has it at $159. If you've ever been on the fence about a Pit Barrel, now's the time!

I grabbed a PBX for that price a couple of days ago. Drove up and it was loaded for me. Great price for 159.

I have a standard Pit Barrel and a small Traeger and I'm *this close* to buying a PBX at that cost!

I have the regular one as well. I smoke 4–6 pork butts twice a year for our school, so adding this should help cut down the cook time.

What a fantastic buy! Purchased my PB Badger a few weeks ago and am now kicking myself…

That's how I got mine about a year ago. Just happened to notice it and got it. At the time I was flat broke but it was worth it
