If you want to see how much abuse a cooker can take by all means send it to me. I did a lot of cooking on my CB Double Chef Smoker and I finally killed it sad to say. For a fraction of the cost this smoker was just as good as the WSM in my opinion and I cooked on it to prove it.
I went to cook on it New Years Eve and went to check the ash pan and it just fell off. I was surprised but was gonna cook on it anyway when I looked on the inside and could just push through the bottom.
I will take the blame for it's possible early death. This is the smoker I used my weed torch to light a few times till I saw it burned the paint off. I did repaint it but that is where the rust started I'm sure.
Thank you to the great and generous folks at Char-Broil for the cooker!
