New Costco Silverton 810 - $1299

What was the price of the 810? Going to another Costco this afternoon and will see if they are showing the 810 as I have not seen one yet.
Bought the 810 last year. Lid leaks like crazy, bought some gasket material and lined around the entire lid surface. Much better. The underneath storage can't be beat. And a free cover. Traeger replaced the thermo couple and controller. After a year I am used to using it, and really like the results. if you're new to pellet grills he will find that the Smoky flavor inside your food is nowhere near as strong as it is in an offset smoker or in a vertical electric smoker where you add wood chips however after a year I can start The Taste the wood smoke flavor. one disappointing thing about Trager in general is they accept a 20 degree difference between what the actual temperature is and what the controller board says the temperature is that is their level of Tolerance I think that's a shame it should be Rock Solid on the temp set unless you use super smoke in which case it will vary up and down. Also cleaning the thing is a hassle you have to take everything out to get to the fire-pot the vacuum things out if I had it to do over again I would probably buy a Camp Chef so that you can remove the ashes from the fire pot without taking apart the smoker / Grill
 
I have been thinking about purchasing the Ironwood 885, worrying about the cost, wifi and lid issues. So based on recent threads about the Costco Silverton 620 which is a Pro 575 knockoff, I thought I would find a Costco Traeger roadshow and take a look. So what did I find? A Silverton 810, same size as the Ironwood 885 except slightly smaller top shelf. Looks exactly the same as the Silverton 620 with the front and side shelf, except larger. The rep said it is the first one he has seen. He was expecting the Silverton 620 to sell. It has the Ironwood / Timberline D2 controller, 500 degrees and Super Smoke, wifire, D2 direct drive, downdraft exhaust, built in cabinet and pellet sensor. Plus, it has double stainless insulation in the pan and on the lid bottom edge (but not on the sides?). The Traeger rep said it is the equivalent to the Timberline, and comes with a free cover, cookbooks, spices, drip pan liners and pellets. I asked the rep about wifi issues, and he said this is a new 3rd generation wifire without the connection issues (not sure if I buy that statement). So, it looks like I may purchase at Costco for the price. Thoughts???
The 810 silverton is a good purchase no connection issues at all. I have fiber so no issues with internet
