So that's why I haven't gotten my shipping notification on my #2 I ordered yesterday! I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling #3 people! REEEEAAALLY hoping it's here by Thursday at the latest as I've already planned a birthday shindig for myself.
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have planned that shindig just yet, but I keep seeing sub-24 hr ship times so what the heck. It's mostly family and nobody's traveling from more than 60 miles so I can always reschedule on Friday if need be.
Yes my order was accepted too. Things finally lined up- The #3 was available today, and I had the money set aside to make the purchase. After stalking this website for two years, I have finally bought one.
Two years for you two weeks for me. The wait is worth it for a great Brand! Steve is clearly an honorable businessman who has to balance inventory and predict the demand without a crystal ball. He is at the mercy of the significant port issues our country is currently in. Large multinationals companies are held hostage by this too regardless of bank roll. Some boats are refusing to load because they know they will have to carry the crew waiting to unload. Hold out for the size that fits your application/budget, stick to your guns I don't think anyone will regret holding out for Smokin It quality and enduring value with a company that has service parts in stock! For me #3 fit the buy quality only once and don't look back philosophy. I was buying a #2 with an extra shelf so the cost difference was not that much and the capacity was better matched to what I want to smoke. Snap up the SI3's while they last they represent an extreme value.
The double box gave up it's life as designed the product arrived unscathed. Currently in the seasoning mode. The whole family is making suggestion for the weekend smoke! Rugged product sure to give years of faithful service.
