Yeah, the initial hit seems high. But, given how long these guys last, it's probably about $10 a year or less...

Yeah, but. These devices are now available to a wide body of the population who always wanted to get into smoking meats, didn't know how, and couldn't afford it. I think that it is absolutely fantastic that people can smoke foods at home with a variety of choices available. These opportunities have evolved over the last 60 years and it give average people like myself to this opportunity. What is interesting is that there are so many wonderful choices available in every price range and with quality differences that it is almost mind boggling. Maybe there will open a business opportunity for a "Smokeologist" who will become a Smoking Technology consultant to give advice and counsel to average folks who want to incorporate smoking meat into their daily opportunity of "things to do".
