Pit Boss Austin XL Onyx Pellet Grill 1000 Sq In
Turn your backyard into a culinary command center with the Pit Boss Aust in XL Onyx Edition. This wood pellet grill isn’t just a smoker—it’s a complete outdoor cooking powerhouse designed to handle entertaining crowds, weeknight family dinners, and everything in between with precision and style.
Massive, versatile cooking space
With 1,007 square inches of total cooking surface across two-tier porcelain-coated cast iron racks, you can cook multiple items at different temperatures all at once. It’s easy to feed a crowd or prepare a full family feast without juggling pans. The solid side and bottom shelves add dedicated prep space for rubs, marinades, tools, or extra pellets.
Precision control meets powerful performance
- Temperature range 180°–500°F lets you pilk back slow-smoked ribs or crank up rapid sears for crusted steaks.
- Flame Broiler Lever enables direct flame searing up to 1,000°F for authentic reverse-sear finish and caramelized crusts right on the grill.
- 30 lb hopper provides long cooks between fills, with a convenient hopper cleanout door for fast pellet changes and easy maintenance.
- Two meat probe ports with probes included, so you can monitor internal temps without opening the lid and losing heat.
- 8-in-1 cooking versatility—smoke, bake, sear, grill, barbecue, braise, char-grill, and roast—so one machine handles your entire menu.
Built for real-world cooks and gatherings
- 100% hardwood pellets fuel the flavor for real wood-fired taste with consistent performance.
- 2 locking caster wheels and 2 inline wheels make moving and positioning simple, whether you’re in a tight yard or needing to tuck it away after a party.
- Bottle opener adds a small-but-mighty convenience for hosting.
- Designed around the PB1000NX platform, this Austin XL Onyx Edition combines rugged construction with a sleek look that commands attention in any outdoor kitchen.
Who it’s for and practical use cases
This Pit Boss is ideal for backyard chefs who refuse to compromise on flavor or versatility. Whether you’re hosting a weekend cookout, preparing a family feast, or chasing competition-grade results at home, the Austin XL Onyx Edition handles it all. Dream scenarios include slow-smoking a brisket overnight, roasting vegetables beside a brisket, searing steaks at high heat after a smoke, or baking ribs with a crispy edge—without switching grills.
Why this model stands out
Where many pellet grills offer a narrow set of functions, the Pit Boss Austin XL Onyx Edition pairs a generous cooking footprint with an industry-leading heat range, direct-sear capability, built-in probes, and substantial prep space. The combination of high-capacity pellet management, robust construction, and 8-in-1 versatility means you can execute complex meals with a single, reliable machine—without sacrificing flavor or control.
Practical tips to get the most from your Austin XL Onyx Edition
- Pre-season the grill by running a long burn with a test batch of pellets to remove any residual factory oils and to season the racks.
- Use the Flame Broiler for a quick reverse-sear: smoke at 225–250°F to tenderize, then flip to direct flame to 800–1,000°F for a crusty finish.
- Plan multi-zone cooking by placing delicate items on the upper rack and bulk items lower to optimize space and heat distribution.
- Keep a filled hopper ahead of long cooks to avoid interruption; the cleanout door makes refills quick and clean.
- Use the dual probe ports to monitor different cuts (e.g., pork shoulder and chicken) simultaneously—great for feeding diverse family tastes.
With the Pit Boss Austin XL Onyx Edition (PB1000NX), you’re not just buying a grill—you’re investing in a versatile, high-capacity, wood-fired cooking experience that brings restaurant-quality results to your backyard, time after time.
