Electric smoker question

[Zilla25]

Hello. New to the forum. I am replacing a gas grill after 12 years and am debating the Masterbuilt gravity 800. I also have a Weber kettle and WSM 22.5. I live in the NE and was wondering how well the electronics hold up through winter? I would obviously have it covered but not enclosed.

Also I probably put about $200-$250 in replacement parts for my Weber e310 over the 12 years(grates, flavorizer bars, ignition). How much have any owners put into their 800?

Thank you in advance.

The masterbuilt gravity 800 is pretty new so not sure if you will get go data on long term stuff. But with everything the more you isolate from moisture the better. If its covered and you maintain it will last
