Model 3 Availability

Sequimian, I'll see if I can get an update from Steve.  They had a huge rush on them between black Friday and Christmas!  Definitely their best seller!
 
Steve has more coming in the week of 1/5.  Even he is blown away by how fast the #3 is selling!  It's like they can't build them fast enough!  I told him he better have the factory put on another shift!! ;)
 
Hey everybody!  I just heard from Steve that the new batch of #3's is arriving tomorrow, and he's taking orders now!
 
That's good news.  There's a fellow on another site considering an electric and SI is on his list of possibilities.
 
Looks like the #3's availability has been pushed back again for the third time. Anybody know what's going on?
 
The are worth the wait, don't settle for a #2. The #2 is a good machine, I just don't want anyone to regret not getting that extra volume.
 
Totally worth the wait, I jumped the gun with
The #2. The extra space would be very nice. Nothing wrong
With the #2. These units are rock solid and awesome!!!
 
I'm all in. Not sure why today is the day. I'm smoking a load right now in my cheapo CajunInjector.
Suddenly I just decided to go get the dream-machine, otherwise known as #3

 
Here we are again, folks, OUT of #3s!  Steve told me he'll have a new batch in 2-3 weeks!  I'll update you when I know more.  Absolutely unbelievable how fast the #3 is selling!  I think this batch even took Steve by surprise!  Sounds like he needs to double his order next time!!
 
I imagine the advance notice of the price increase brought many a fence sitter to their senses.  By the way, the increase really is not that much considering all the improvements made over the years with no increase.  Quite honest and reasonable.

Absolutely nailed it, Dave!  When I talked to Steve about it, that's exactly what he said.  He has gone from 1 handle to 2, upgraded the element, and added handles, with no price increase, until now.  Manufacturing costs are higher, and he's absorbed the upgrade costs, but now has to (reluctantly) have a modest increase.  Even so, the SI remains the "best bang for the buck" in its field.  Thanks for pointing that out, Dave!
 
It is a very well made machine and I think it's worth every penny. I know I am one of the few who didn't like the shipping charges but I would say that even with that as a factor, I am glad I got one before the price increase! I hope Steve continues to do well as I love to see the little guys succeed. It's the American Dream!!

Long live Smokin-It!!  ;D ;D
