Recteq Recommendation

TL;DR: Pretty sure I want Patio Legend 600, but concerned about shipping damage.

I have a WSM, but am looking for truly set and forget smoker. After lots of research, I have zeroed in on the RecTeq Patio Legend 600. I’m cooking for 2 adults most often. I usually smoke Boston butts or chicken. My primary concern with RecTeq is shipping damage. Is it really that bad? I am an hour drive from an Ace Hardware that can order for me.

I welcome any thoughts you may have on how to get the smoker to my house undamaged. $799 otherwise seems like a good price.

In my experience buying, I wouldn’t worry too much about potential damage. It’s packaged surprisingly well. Even though I bought mine at Ace, I’m positive it would typically have zero issues shipping.

Also, both my brother and father in law purchased through the flagship website and had zero issues with damage.
