The Kingman retails for approx $2600. Shipping from Kansas to New Orleans was $400; the custom cover they make for it was $300; the insulated firebox was $800; the stainless steel shelf was $250; the additional therm was $30; the two probe ports were $30 each; and they moved and enlarged the stack - I think - at no extra charge. Thus, the final cost was approx $5,000. You can save almost $1000 if you pick it up yourself and then buy a water-proof tarp to cover it instead of their cover. Unfortunately for me, though, New Orleans is a very wet / hot / humid environment, so I bought the cover and a water-proof tarp to wrap it in when not in use. Like I mentioned in the post above, I consider my smoker an investment, which is why I elected to take the 'belt & suspenders' approach to maintaining it with both the cover and a water-proof tarp. An ounce of prevention . . .
