Mine has lived outside on my deck since the day I got it. It has a roof over it but no cover on the smoker. It gets used many more days than not & I've had no trouble with it...

Good deal 

  You can crank out some good eats with it 

  The two best things I ever did for mine were to get an AMNPS & do my version of the mailbox mod - I've never looked back since then... Enjoy your new MES!

A must have is an AMNPS Pellet smoke generator from, http://www.amazenproducts.com/Default.asp  I have tried Pellets in the chip drawer and they caught fire or burned up very quickly....JJ
