Many years ago, i decided to get into the pellet game. One the years I've collected eggs, UDS's, an offset, and some insulated cabinets (Stump don't build no junk), but something about pellets kept calling me.
So two years ago, i grabbed a Yoder 640. Due to my OCD, i spend too much time researching pellets, temp flux, etc, and never could get that thing to work the way I wanted it to. Having a stoker set dead center, told me about temp. Yes, I'm a little anal about temp. I don't ask much, just close to the target temp at grate. So off it went to a new home, and my pellet fix was cleansed. Then, slowly it came back. So not he CL i went, starting with a Traeger junior, and that sucked, so then it was a Traeger Pro 34, and that was better, but flameouts after flameout, id had enough. All of these (except the yoder) were tin steel.
So onto the CL i went again, parting ways with Traeger. While perusing CL, i saw that Sams in Portland had a Sawtooth he claimed was 10 gauge steel. I went to the manufactures site and looked, not a mention. Anyway, it was true. A local dealer had one on their porch, so i peaked at it and it weighed ton and has a Roanoke PID controller (branded as a sawtooth). It also offered a Louisiana-grills/Yoder style firepot, not a the round kind, something i believe helps with smoking. And its build IN THE USA, in beautiful Boise, ID.
She's built like a tank.
