somebody shut me the fark up.
On the Cheaper units 2-3 years seems about right from what I’ve been seeing - Sure some have had Cheap Ones last longer. On better Units I’ve seen people with Units 5-6-8 years Old- could be some 10+ .?
Who has tried a Pellet Pooper and Not Liked it. ?

If I had to guess I'd say they went with this because of the igniter they use. The higher end units are using ceramic indirect style igniters and they last a LOOOOONNG time. The old style igniters have always had a short life.

I'm enjoying this thread. With enough comments it helps future buyers know which pellet units are more reliable and put out a better smoke profile. Of course.....at the first it was looking like which ones NOT to get period. LOL!
On the man card thing. I like kidding around like that too. Heck, if what somebody said caused me so much stress as to make me feel the need to defend my manhood.....I think I may have already lost it.

Knows what a fatty is.
He bought the Pit Boss 820-sq in Two-tone copper and black high temperature powder coat Pellet Grill for $499. I have no idea if that's considered a "cheaper one". But I'd hate to know I spent $500 on something that the manufacturer claims is only going to last two years.

It's a typo— Should read, 2 months.
In all honesty, no cooker is perfect.
That's NOT what they mean with a reverse sear!

I’ve had my GMG Daniel Boone for a little over a year. It’s great from ease of cooking, but impossible to get the deep smoke flavor. Amazin tube added and it helps a little, but that’s really not giving you a clean blue smoke and only a little more smoke flavor. Need a burning log for the real flavor.

Two Words: Software Update:shock:
OK-here's the story. I burn charcoal and wood chunks in my WSM and a good buddy recently bought a nice, large, expensive Brand X Pellet Pooper. He goes on and on about how easy it is, set it and forget it, control it from his I phone when he's away etc. So of course, in good fun, I go on and on about surrendering his man card, cooking with sawdust and glue, and might as well go to the local BBQ joint and bring home a few slabs. Needless to say we have a blast jabbing at each other. The things must put out decent Q, I guess, or there wouldn't be so many sold.
The real kicker here was when he was away one day, with a smoker full of food for a big party that evening, he came back home to a smoker that had shut down. After frantically trying to figure out what was wrong and getting tech support from Brand X on the phone, (tech support for a smoker? Something's wrong about that), he was informed that the company had pushed a SOFTWARE UPDATE through, effectively shutting down his cook. We will never let him live that one down. In fact, Software Update is his new nick name.
