Good deal ?


 
If you are happy, then it’s a good deal. Don’t worry about it, you will be using the thing for years. Amortize the cost over the years you will enjoy it and it’s CHEAP! You will wonder why you waited so long after the third thing you cook!
 
Sounds like a good deal to me,as the cheapest I ever saw the Igrill mini is 50 bucks so basically got the smoker for 370.I always use my mini to monitor chamber temp at the grill works like a charm.
 
One thing I seriously recommend is before you start using temp control units, a pit and meat probe for temperature is really all you need. I’m not married to a device so the “Igrill” means nothing to me. But, I’m officially an old fart and didnt grow up staring at my phone. Learning caveman techniques with these things is beneficial, it’s really more fun to “fly by the seat of your pants”!
 
If it works for you, it's a good deal. There will always be a better deal at some point, but meanwhile you're ready to start cooking and learning.

It's a different beast, but years ago I got a good deal on an expensive TV -- enjoyed the Super Bowl better than ever before. For more than a year, my wife kept saying here I could have save $100, there I could have gotten a later model at the same price. But meanwhile I got to enjoy a superb tv and learned to tweak it for best quality. Seven years later, I'm still happy and only this year have they finally come out with a REAL improved version.

I know what you mean by flying by the seat of your pants. I have a 14 1/2 inch WSM that I have been using for the last 4 years. Never used a meat thermometer. Only went by the dome temperature gage. Just smoked till the food is done.
