When I did the research on smokers before purchasing the #2 one of the main factors was cost per smoke,minimal to say the least, a buddy purchased a very expensive pellet burner which works great and produces great food but factor in the cost of pellets, 50 cents per pound and using a pound per hour, that adds 7-8 bucks on a pork butt, now figure a years worth........meat aint cheap and if I can keep the cost down and produce good food it means I can smoke more often.
