I was certain you had misread these. You had not. These prices are insane. Chimp for under $400? (I paid $600 in 2023.) Silverback for under $550?! OG under $700?
I know. I was kind of surprised. If any person interested in a pellet cooker and doesn't have a lot to spend or a lot of room, you can't go wrong with these prices.
Sadly, the fact I have 4 cookers in the backyard I am not using as much as I would like lately precludes me from even considering bringing something new in...

to fiddle with a more capable cooker)

Just got into charcoal Dec ‘21 (PBC)
fav is brisky. Love Turkey on PBC. also Turkey in the glass,(any nice bourbon)
Bud has always been my barley pop.
Been smoking a handful of years, just got serious in the last two or three years. Thanks to AR n @glemn picked up an SnS Kamado for appx 1/3 price of new. I dont think he used it twice. Love AR! keep calm n smoke on! Miss you Bonesy.
I almost bought the Kong with a cart. But when I add the defector plate, kick ash basket and cover it’s right near the cheapest Amazon sale of the WSK I’ve been eyeing. But if I choose not to get the kart it comes down. But I think I really want the extra 2 inch diameter and the steel of the WSK.
Now there you go again getting my MCS into a slow simmer. At this price I have to say I’m curious . And watching various YouTube videos ain’t helping either.

(I was so wrong here. See comment below.)
If I were buying my OG today, I could apply $161 in Amazon points and get it for $535.
The Silverback with AT cart would be $378. That is ridiculous (in a good way.)
I was wrong. The Amazon prices are higher. The Mammoth, for example, has a discounted price that makes it the regular price on the Grilla site. The Chimp is listed at a higher "list price" of $649.99 with a 25% discount making it $487.49.
If it sounds ridiculous and too good to be true, then it probably is.
