$1049 US, Includes the Nest, but not Mates. It's $300 off right now on sale.
I guess it's somewhat justified, these things weigh a TON and would break pretty easily if mishandled or not packed properly for the long sea voyage... I can't imagine I could get one shipped here for less than $300 US

Yeah, thats about $300 more than here in the States... but the way I looked at it was that this is probably the LAST smoker / bbq grill I'll ever have to buy. Plus it comes with a lifetime warranty.
Does it still come with the lifetime warranty down under? Thats worth something right there...
EdWort was telling me that the XL is not yet ready for primetime - something about the hinge not holding up and the dampers... so I got the Large.
So far I've had no buyer's remorse what-so-ever... check back with me over the weekend after I get finished with my first overnighter and I'll probably be even more sold!

So JB, have you been using it much?? I think I'm going to get one with the tax rebate they are talking about. Spent 2 hrs this morning trying to get my smoker up to temp for some ribs about 19 degrees this morning when I first got started...I'm wanting one real bad...

Ok, you guys are going to get me in trouble. I've been wanting to replace my cruddy weber gas grill for awhile. But I also want a smoker. I've stayed away from charcoal in the past due to the whole heat up time thing. This looks like it might be ticket though. I could kill two birds with one egg so to say. How well does it handle like a smoker? Are you able to maintain good smoking temps easily? Any chance you can cold smoke on one? How long does it take to get up to grilling temps? I usually grill about once a week, mostly doing burgers or fish. The nice thing about gas is being able to walk out and crank it on and start cooking in 10 minutes. And since it's usually a small amount of food, I can turn it off and be done quickly as well. Do you need to toss a ton of charcoal on to do something like this or can you get it too temp with a small amount fairly easily?
I think I'm going to start doing some research.....

Any more questions???? I know I'm in the same situation except I grill about 5 days a week so I wonder if it's as easy as gas???
