Just received my #2
« on: February 13, 2014, 06:01:09 PM »
Hailing from Indianapolis.  I ordered my #2, 36 hours ago, and I'm already seasoning her!

Temps are swinging a little, but well within what I've read to expect, and seeing all the great Q coming from these machines, I have no worries.

I'm a pilot by trade, so smoking time is limited, but I may get some ribs in there tomorrow before I head out for the week!  I got in on the free cover, rib hooks and cord holder deal. 

Impressive machine, built to last a lifetime, great service and a good forum... All for $446?  What a deal!

Fantastic, Captain!  Guess the "no smoking" lamp is no longer lit.  ;D

Ivation, very highly rated.  Today was my first time using them, very happy.  300' range.

Divot, good one!  Sadly, our new aircraft no longer have no smoking signs.  They have been replaced by, no electronic devices signs.

Seasoning went well, love that sticky brown film inside!!

Sounds like those may be replaced soon, too!  I guess I dated myself again. :-[

I believe it's a re-badged Maverick ET-732.  Looks identical, other than the markings.  If anybody knows different, please chime in.  Same temp max and range.  If it is a 732, it's a good unit!  Unfortunately, the Maverick is $4 cheaper on Amazon prime.  ???   Not knocking your choice, Capt, just pointing out the similarity for others who may be in the market.

True enough!  I could have saved a few bucks, I was too excited to get smoking, to shop around.

Sadly, our international bretheren do not participate in our new FAA electronic devices rule, so the signs will remain...
