People who are happy with their rtic products don’t use them a lot. I tried to use mine like I’ve used my yeti for years. My rtic didn’t last a year and they wouldn’t warranty blatant craftsmanship defects. But hey! They’re 1/3 of the price, well we know why.
The other 65 just had the rear hinge mechanism just break. I bet the cooler had been used 10 times.

In a primo you get actual indirect cooking because of a firebox divider unless you need the whole grill. The round units use deflector plates.
Is there a difference in the final product by having indirect heat (when in reality it's inches away) compared to the ceramic heat deflector? I cannot tell a difference cook/tenderness/texture wise from an offset smoker with my BGE. Now there is definitely more smoke ring and bark with an offset, but that's more to do with how the wood is burned and smoke ventilation, not where the heat is in relation to the meat (indirect is obviously necessary, just comparing the means to get indirect). Any ceramic cooker isn't burning wood in the same way as an offset no matter what.
And as far as the divider to have heat zones, you can get that for a round ceramic as well. I've really never needed it though. I'm actually a fan of getting even heating more easily. I'll cook a bunch of chicken breast for the week and don't have to try to huddle it all in one spot to find or hide from a hot spot.

Probably not, other than ease of adding wood if needed. It does make cooking reverse sear easier because you don't have to remove the deflector to sear the steak

I doubt very many can. I can't. That is why the shape matters in my opinion. Most of the decent ceramics are very comparable as far as cooking goes. With a unit that small eveness is not an issue. However, the straight lines do make cooking a lot of food easier with more efficient use of space. My opinion only.

i use the shite out of my rtic 45. i've beat the shite out of it. it looks rough now but the only damage is cosmetic. it took a 60 mph tumble on pavement with a deer in it and didn't open.
