The silicone corner protectors do work well in preventing undue wear at sharp corners. Even though the cover on my RT-340 isn’t overly tight, it is snug and the soft, rounded corner protectors protect the cover fabric.
Yeah I was thinking that I could keep the first 1 and try cleaning up the rust and see if they will give me some money off of the grill. It's just crazy now I have 2 grills in the garage, from 2 different shipping companies that I might have to coordinate pick up with.
Yeah it’s very frustrating. Let me see if I can get them to reduce the price of the first one some more, otherwise I might return both and look for something made in the USA.Long boat ride from China.......just the norm now unfortunately.
Just be prepared for “sticker shock” if you start looking for “Made in USA” grills. I think they are worth it, but it is a definite budget hit. I’m pretty sure that’s where I’m headed next; likely MAK Two Star General.
I know started looking. The Yoder looks nice but not sure if I want to deal with the rust issues there. This is what I get for looking for an all in one solution when my wife says you don't need it.
Do you think it would be unreasonable to ask for some money off the 1st one and keep that one since besides the "rust" nothing else seems wrong
I take it that means she’s good with you buying several different grills for different uses.
Sounds good to me; could you have her call my wife? 
Perhaps you might want to call Yoder or ATBBQ.com and discuss. I’ve seen posts from people here stating that rust with a Yoder was an issue, but my experience is that it is not. At this point in my ownsership with the Yoder YS640S, I expect it will the last pellet grill I will ever want/need to buy. It’s a tank, works perfectly, and no rust.
That’s for the info Greg. What would you do if you were in my position?
It’s hard for me to say. I have 5 recteqs, had six counting the one they replaced at no cost for me nearly three years ago. I was on a first name basis with multiple people there. Don’t know anyone in customer service now. Visited Georgia HQ more than once and was made welcome.every time. Attached is a pic of my wife with Chef John when we both attended Academy 12-2000. My customer service experience was stellar, above and beyond, but at the same time I didn’t raise an issue with scratches or dents. Clearly things have changes since the investment buy-in. I expect they still make a great product at a fair price point, otherwise I wouldn’t still be active here. Sorry I couldn’t offer more assistance.
Well, the big question is will you be satisfied with a damaged grill even after receiving an “accessory.” IF the answer is “YES,” then pick an accessory that makes you happy. If the answer is “NO,” then return them both and start shopping elsewhere. I know what I’d do, but that is immaterial; this is a choice only you can make.
That's the part that is hard to believe as well. So I asked for those accessories and he came back with a cover as the option. So I think I am going to see if the rust stain comes off using some barkeeper and if not then I will return both and have to look elsewhere.
Agree with others, don't get the cover. I just purchased my rt-1250 and the cover 2 days ago, I'm not impressed. Way too tight and I can see where the grill can tear into it from the corners. Tried placing cover on with the upper grate on the back, no go on that.
so update: they are going to be giving me the competition cart. And are going to be picking up one of the grills one Monday. I was able to clean up the grill pretty well and they let me pick the best parts from both grills. Just finished building it today and completed the burn in.
