Fans recently ripped Jenelle, 30, and David for buying a pricey new smoker.

They owe thousands in taxes, which critics seem to think should take precedent over luxury purchases.

David posted about it on social media, showing off the grill while inside the box.

In the video, he told fans: "Those smokers that Jenelle got me, they were kind of like a tin can and didn't work like we wanted them to so we upgraded.

"Instead of 275 degrees max, now we can do up to 550."

He ended the video with: "This is gonna be fun."

Fans shared a still from David's video on , slamming him over the pricey purchase.

"Probably just got their tax return," one critic wrote.

Another chimed in: "My guess is she got a heafty pension off mtv. None of the girls will ever have to work again."

One critic wrote: "Maybe she stole babs credit card."

Another questioned: "Does David not have a job?!"

The grill retails for between $1,300 and $1,500 according to the company .

Some fans evoked the name of the couple's dog, Junior, who recently went missing.

David faced major backlash after sharing the news.

NUGGET 2.0

In 2019, the couple were fired from the MTV show after the shooting of their dog Nugget.

David recently opened up about drama with a neighbor involving Junior – the dog he and Jenelle share – he revealed the family pet is missing.

He shared the news in a TikTok, claiming: "Update on Junior. This was a draft from two weeks ago. 

"After that day he ran off again and the lady down the street, Stephanie, told me that would be the 'last time' and she was 'fed up to the max.'"

He went on: "She acted like he was aggressive but it's actually HER dog that is mean!! Junior has been gone ever since and he's not at any shelter.

"After leaving notes on my gate and texting me constantly for weeks she is now completely silent and will not return my messages."

His post ended with: "Her silence is deafening."

David's video was shared to , where critics wasted no time sounding off.

The person who posted the clip on the site wrote in part: "Another one bites the dust on the land" alluding to Nugget's death.

David shot the family French Bulldog in 2019, alleging that it acted aggressively toward one of his children.

"David you killed the dog, probably," another Reddit user speculated.

A third critic wrote: "Saved him from soon joining Nugget. F**k you David. Neighbor deserves a reward for saving a life."

DAVID DRAMA

David is no stranger to controversy.

Fans often attack him for carrying a gun on him in seemingly unnecessary situations. 

Recently, he was slammed after he was seen with a gun on his hip while hanging out with friends.
