Scott, I use it about once a month. It loves 250 degrees, and it'll hold that temp for 45-60 minutes which means far less baby sitting than I'm used too.
The top is 3/16". I spent my money on the square/rectangular tubing and hardware, so the top can be replaced when metal gets cheaper. I'd love a 3/4" top, but I ain't gonna spend $1,300 for it.
