Love it, it has been flawless but it has the newer controller and not the older one or the Costco one, and that seems to be the main difference between people having temp issues or not. $1k for a smoker I would probably get a Rev Tec from what I did in research but I didn't want to spend that type of money so I got s trager on sale for half that. Almost went with GMC but the added cost for wifi wasn't worth it when I see how many customer complaints they have with it working consistently, but I love their control and if I didn't find the deal on the trager with the new control I would have been fine with a GMC non wifi at a similar price
