I saw this while driving home. Does anyone know the model? Also, is it worth taking? Since it's free, I don't want to bother asking if anything is wrong with it? What should I look for if I decide to take it?

You’re not going to know what the problem with it is until you take it, because it needs power to work. It’s definitely an entry level Pit Boss, and I would take a wild guess that it has some issue with either the PID controller or auger.
Maybe it works great but if you’re not handy at all I would not take a “free” side of the road pellet grill.

If there is no port on the back of the hopper to empty pellets, might be about their earliest model, think it was 800 sq in. Worked at a place that sold them. Probably about 8 years old? The first ones were prone to control board issues but were otherwise absolute tanks.

Who cares? It’s free, grab it!

The model should be in the hopper lid. Take it looks like an 800/900 series. We got one for free too and just had to replace the controller and temp sensor and it was golden!

If it’s free, then it’s for me!

Get it! They are easy to replace ANYTHING that’s broken, you can rebuild all of the electrical and pellet feeding systems for $200. Just get it!
