I’ve been keeping a daily eye on stock. I’m not sure how many stores Academy has but hopefully they get enough stock to send at least 2-3 per store.

Ouch. Never mind that idea. Didn’t realize they have that many stores. Even if they only do one per store on the next shipment that is only about just over a third of the stores will get one.

Maybe Smitty can have his connections send plenty to the Kansas City area stores!

Old Country sends them by the truckload to Academy Distribution Center - After that it's on Academy......... I was told 80 units on this Next order - somebody else said they were told 100..........

:heh:
I don’t have exact measurements but thought I seen somewhere it’s about the size of a square brownie pan with the handles cut off. Would need to try and find it again. Will be interesting to see how fast the second shipment goes. There seems to be more interest from what I can tell overall now that they have been out for a little bit and have sat unavailable at most places for an extended period of time.

Is it worth it ? Convince me is it better than your old cooker ?

To me this smoker is in the mix because of the great pricing at $1299 and is the size I'm wanting. There are some YouTube videos showing the smoker in action and the guy doing these is quite impressed with the smoker.
As Smitty has stated this is a B/B+ level smoker at an incredible price. If Academy re-stocks these in the KC area it will be a quick 3 hour drive to pick one up--further saving on shipping costs of others. The others I'm considering will have a cost in excess of $3000-$4000. So definitely considering a slightly lower quality unit for half the price!

Being from New Hampshire I’m not fortunate enough to have an Academy locally. So one available I may be in for a road trip if the shipping is to expensive.

I chatted with someone at Old Country to inquire about the whole Prop 65 thing in CA. He let me know that they are confident that they will be shipping out very soon, like SmittyJonz mentions.

They come and go depending on Inventory - don’t know it can’t just say “out of stock’
