Ride that cash cow as long as you can.

Only question is why did they wait 4-5 yrs to do this?????  I would have the name plastered to anything and everything remotely BBQ.

I'm in.  I need to shed some eggs anyway, would like to try another smoking method.  I will keep an egg.  Or two.

Each one will be hand-made by Aaron, by the looks of the photos.

I heard it's going to be $22/lb like his brisket.

I recall a head's up about that in a thread here a few months ago.  Strike while the iron is hot.  Will be interesting to see the initial sell-through.  I am guessing there will be some good used smoker deals after the euphoria buy has passed.  
Sticks are a whole different animal.  FWIW-

There is a thread over on the brethren forum about this. Seems there are about 2,600 people who have put their name on the waitlist to buy one. Even If only 10% actually buy one, that will be a pretty good payday.

I like Aaron. Seems so genuine.  I have and read his book.  I really like how he started with absolutely nothing.  Found smokers on the side of the road,  etc. Shows what you can accomplish if you are passionate about something.  Someday I will get there and eat brisket.

I'd get one, but only cook prime rib.

Sorta like there were all kinds of Dalmatians up for adoption 3 months after 101 Dalmatians?

I got a steal on a Honda generator on Jan 5, 2000.
