PNW native here. Done plenty of traveling to know the Pacific Northwest is the right place for me. The green outweighs the rain.
I've got a bulletproof pit. Probably will outlive me. It lives outside year round. Covered in an ugly tarp when not in use Nov - April. (it gets plenty of use those months, I just try to cover it.) Long story short, my 5.5 year old PID controller rusted out. I'm considering this normal wear and tear. I'm back in business. 15 minute fix. I even got a cool new faceplate.
