Tony, any word on whether this will be water proof/resistant?

Yes, it's a weatherproof as the original design.  There's a gasket under the controller, and you can see the switch is a sealed-type.

The retrofit kit will be somewhat difficult to install.  Steve is working on pricing now, but has a few extra controllers and flat tops.  The hardest part will be cutting a hole for the SSR heat sink (you can see the pic of the back, that it's located near the bottom left of the smoker).  I'll post more on this as he gets closer to offering the kits.

Okay, my last question.  Will there continue to be models 2, 2d and 3, 3d or will the old model be phased out?

I don't believe there are any plans to phase-out the originals, Dave; this just gives folks the choice of a base model or loaded options model!  But, sales will dictate the future.  If it shifts predominantly toward the D model, that may be the deciding factor.  We'll all see what the future holds!

Did the new pricing come out or will we need to wait for the web site?

I updated the first post with the intro pricing, Rick.  They should be on the website this weekend.  We still need to do a little testing before they're shipped, though.

This is all great news, and congrats to Steve as he continues to evolve the product line!   I just have to find someone to buy my current #2 so that I can upgrade.  To bad that leasing was not an option...LOL

It is nice to see Steve not resting on his laurels and constantly looking at ways to improve the Smokin-It line.......but the more I think about it, I like turning a knob and letting my #3 do what it does so well.

It is a win-win deal no matter which version you choose  8)

List your #2 in the Buy, Sell or Trade section, Steve!  Leasing, huh?? ...hmmm...now there's an idea! ;)

Wish you guys didn't live all over the country.  I'd buy a used unit for sure for my son in-laws.

If you ever get a chance to run through ND, I'd sell ya my #3 and order a new 3D model. :)

Saw this on facebook, man does that look great.  Bravo on the design and going with a proven device in Auber.  I would of definitely got one had they been available when I bought, but I am still very happy with my #3 with heatermeter that I say would take the most accurate claim down.  I see no decimal places.  :P  Just joking with you guys, this definitely is the king if you aren't a gigantic nerd and just want to buy something off the shelf.  Well done.

Since it looks like our smoker but with the Auber permanently mounted, I think I like the plug in idea better.

That's what makes it a horse race, Dave.  Personally, I have enjoyed the plug-in version because I've had no other choice (until now).  I find the clean design of the integrated weather-resistant controller kinda sexy! ;)   Plus, there's no bypass to perform, permanent probe mount, no dealing with extra cords, no trying to keep the weather out of my not-so-weatherproof Auber unit, etc...  "Off-the-shelf goodness".....for the same price as them separate! ;D
