It's weird. Most of the complaints I hear seem to be about the "higher end" Ironwood. My pro 780 has been used at least once a week (often more) for 2 years now, I often forget to cover it, it's sitting next to a salt pool, and it looks brand new. That being said, if I had the money, I'd get a Yoder.

I have had 3 Yoders, still have a 640s and one Timberline 1300. The Yoders are way worse for rusting and losing exterior appearance

Log on to the Yoder forums.
Same issues as all the others. Feed issues, pot spilling over, corrosion, wifi issues, over temp issues, warping issues.

If I were you, I’d cancel the order. Traeger’s aren’t what they used to be. Quality is down, customer service is down, the temperature controllers are junk.
If you can afford a better grill, go for it!
I’m on my second Traeger…it’ll be my last.

Mine caught fire a couple times when I cranked it for a reverse sear and since then I use a gasser for the sear part. No temps higher than 375 these days for the Ironwood as the gasser is next to it ready to sear when needed and no ramp up time.

I just got my 885 and I'm enjoying it. For me it's a slow cooker, so temp doesn't go higher than 425...i have other tools for that 
. From all the stuff I've read it's the higher temp that causes problems with finish.

From everything I’ve seen and read the paint peeling happens, but isn’t common. I have a 1300 and really like it. No paint issues. Hasn’t ever clogged (knock on wood). My temp actually isn’t that far off either. The top rack is high, bottom tach is low, but the middle rack is pretty damn close. I’ve made many a pizzas at 450 and haven’t had an issue. Even in the rain. I can’t speak to the Yoder, but I’m very happy with my Traeger.

I also did the steps to cure the paint...maybe it helped, maybe it didn't.I just got my 885 and I'm enjoying it. For me it's a slow cooker, so temp doesn't go higher than 425...i have other tools for that
