After a few weeks on fb market looking at used pellet smokers, I came across this deal at my local Walmart. Didn’t hesitate to cart and buy.
Those who own this same pellet smoker, how has it performed for you? Build quality, longevity, issues?

If you go to the store when the department manager is around and clearance out grill inventory for the Christmas merchandise, you can usually get great deals.
I got 4 grills for (EDIT: $100 EACH, NOT 4 FOR $100) $100 one year and gave them to friends as presents.
I’ve been using that same grill for over 2 years now.
It runs great and haven’t had any problems with it. I keep it on my covered front porch out of the rain and elements.
It runs great but you run out of room fast with big things.

I have an older Lexington. I got it over 5 years ago and it’s still kicking. The screen is shot due to sun exposure (my fault) but I love that little thing.

Big mistake. The grease bucket is positioned improperly and, like me, you will accidentally dip your balls in the hot grease and end up with third degree burns.
This is a not so big brisket. Plenty of room for a big one as well

I have one it works well. Will fit a full-size hotel pan so stuff like a whole turkey can be done. It gets a little squirrely on temp control if the ash pot isn’t cleaned out every so often, i clean out mine every 40 pounds or so. I’ve had mine for 2 years and use it 3 times a week with no problems.

Just paid $325 for the same grill at Walmart in Florida , perpetual summer here and they wouldn’t discount it. Worked great and is a good size for a starting smoker. I’ll prob sell it next year and get a big req tech since so far I really enjoy it.
