I'd talk to a pellet grill repairman and get input from them. There might be ones that break down a bit more often than others.

There might be ones that break down a bit more often than others.The Traeger breaks down all the way, which I've done several times. I've had the auger seize up in the auger tube because I left pellets in it during the winter and enough condensation and leakage swelled the pellets and seized the auger. There's a small screw that shears off and is easy to replace. I had to work a while to get the auger out of the tube, once out, I reamed it with a drill to clean it up. Worked great all summer until I left it out again over winter I've also replaced the barrel under warranty, the warranty was honored and service was good several years ago.
I've had a GMG Daniel Boone for about 3 years now and love it. My best advice to you regarding ANY pellet grill is to always keep it covered when you're not using it. Wet pellets make for a headache!

Wet pellets make for a headache!To be more specific I'd say keep it indoors or under cover of a roof. I had the factory vinyl cover and even in the garage I had an issue with condensation on the machine under the cover. Just storing in the garage sans vinyl cover, everthing OK and no condensate.

A friend of mine had his covered and did not use for a couple months. Took the cover off and everything was moldy. The covers just hold in any and all moisture, then being typically black, the sun hits them and it gets NICE and warm inside. Best bet if at all possible is to have the grill under some sort of roof for storage when not in use.
Why is everyone going so long between uses? Fire those things up! Problem solved

Been doing some research on pellet grills, looks like the Yoder can get up to 600 degrees. I want to be able to get the temp up if I need to. They are not cheap, but may be worth the investment
I got the RT-340. I did not get a sear kit or a blanket. I would love to support Lamrith once I run out of my current stock. Does Rec Tec discontinue and add new model numbers?I notice both your 680 and my 340 or no longer listed on there website, or shown as out of stock.
