Pit Boss Classic vs PB 700FB

[FishInTheDesert]

Anyone know the difference between these 2 grills. theyre pretty much the exact same size.

The classic uses an "H1 digital control center" and a BTU value of 20,700
The FB uses a "V1 digital control board" and has a BTU value of 40,000

Not really sure what that means? anyone have any insights? Does the "control center" have more capabilities, or is it just a different looking display?

Planning on buying one once I figure out the difference. the FB is $300 at academy right now...not sure if its gonna get cheaper than that. so might need to just call pitboss lol

Don't know the difference between the 2 but I have the 700 FB for bout year and a half now and have no complaints at all.

More BTU means higher temps may be possible, controller will control to about the same temps I would think. 2x the BTU's sound way off for some reason, 1 under powered or 1 over powered? hard to tell from this end of the chain imo.

I have the 700S which is basically the same as the FB. It does not have temp probe inputs. The classic has two inputs, so there's your difference.

More btu will always be better in the long run,love having 2 probes with my unit, having a inkbird temp set so I don't have to walk out side is even better lol
