I also own a Smokin Brothers premier 24", and also a Yoder YS1500, the Smokin Brothers premier 24" is my goto smoker, this thing is built like a tank, I can vouch for that , I live in Colorado Springs Co. I left it on my patio without locking the caster wheels, we had some very strong winds, it blew it off my patio onto the Sandy backyard that I have. When I arrived home, and saw it laying on the ground my heart sank, I picked it up, set it back on the patio, all that was damaged was the temp probe, along with some scratches that I quickly covered with high temperature paint, bought the new temp probe, was back in business, when I purchased mine it had the older dial controller I replacedon't it recently with the Savanah Stoker, couldn't be happier. Best investmentioned I made. Been very happy with it, also very pleased with the new controller.
