I have been slapping around the idea of getting an ATC. It seems that it would remove some of my anxiety during the cook ( i am always checking temps and wondering if they are correct etc). Also, truth be told I love gadgets and toys. The thought of controlling the temp from a computer is really cool.
As some background, I have 4 month old twins. Greatest things in the world, but as I found out yesterday, sometimes they need more attention and the smoker takes a back seat.
Don't get me wrong, the smoker stayed pretty solid but it was the anxiety of wanting to check the temps when I was changing diapers etc.
In the middle of the cook I told my wife I want a Stoker for Christmas.
All of that leads me to this question, do you see many ATCs for sale out there? The aforementioned twins also put a dent in the budget so I was thinking that getting one used may save me some coin.
I have searched craigslists around the country (love crazedlist.com) and no luck yet. Is it worth the time?
Also, sorry for the long post....
