If quality components are used and how they are taken care of/stored, are going to dictate how long it will last.
I never said one will break, I stated that electrical components can fail, and they can. I've got nothing against pellet smokers, a lot of the guys here use them with great success. I investigated getting one before I got my stick burner, decided that's the way I wanted to go. I'd already had my electric Pro 100 for a dozen years or so, now my bases are pretty much covered. Now I'm going to go to Sam's and get a sirloin tip roast to smoke tomorrow on the Pro 100. I'm pretty much going to follow Smokin' Al's method and I don't think I can keep the SQ36 at a stable 225º for 5-6 hours. It's all good! RAYI am not so sure that is an entirely true statement.
We have quite a few members here who own and use pellet grills and smokers with great results.
But like anything, if it is abused or neglected then it won't operate as intended.
hello! thanks, i'm ron from israel. glad i've found these forumsThe manufacturers would not stay in business very long if that were the case. I have had mine for three years and no problems. Welcome to SMF from Minnesota.

Now, about that sirloin tip, that sounds delicious. Enjoy!
I'm all over it SHS! The tip roast has been in the fridge all night covered with Montreal Steak Seasoning, thought I'd try that stuff out. Now I'm just waiting for the wife to get out of bed so I don't wake her up rolling the Pro 100 from the garage to the backyard. Gonna be a fun day, smoking, football, maybe I'll have a beer! RAY
Far from it. A number are actually well built and with reasonable care will last. It will come down to how much one is prepared to pay. Obviously the features and build materials of a $300 unit will never equal that of a $2000 or more unit which really can play a key part on longevity. Personally, I went with MAK can could not be more pleased.i've heard they go bad fast becasue the companies want you to buy a new one.
is this true?
LOL---That's what we used to say about "Fords".
