XL lid delaminate

[clarky63]

Hi I got my pit boss one full year ago it’s a Austin xl. I have used it and it works great. I only have one issue and it’s with the lid delaminating on the front edge has anyone else had this problem??

You mean the paint peeling?

 

[clarky63]

Yes the paint is lifting along the edge. Is this normal after only a year ?

do you keep it covered?
how much weather is involved?

Not to much weather is involved. I only use it in good weather and when I am not using it, it’s stored in my out building.

I only have it out when I know the weather is nice because of the electronics other wise it is in my shed

Paint or porcelain lid separating and rust forming along the edge after a year does anyone else have this problem with there Austin XL

No reply from pit boss on issues so I thought I would try the forum. Might be easier in the future to buy a solid metal smoker or a company that stands behind the product!!?

I don't have an Austin XL, just an older Pit Boss that is all black. After a year mine had some paint coming off so I just bought a can of high-heat black spray paint for grills. I sanded it down a bit, sprayed over it and no problems. You can't even tell I painted it. In your case the lid is copper colored so it wouldn't look right with black paint. Did you call customer support?

I'd call Pit Boss Tech Support 887-303-3134 option 2. Maybe a few bad one's out there and they'll send you a new one.
