OK. Star Trek had this flip thing that could talk to the Enterprise. We got cell phones 40 years later that looked just like it. We have no idea what types of crafts that are hidden in the Nevada desert. I think i'm seeing a device that could be a thermo but maybe, just maybe, it's something we've never seen or imagined before. The craft is silver. It's lightweight I also think it looks almost aerodynamic. Hmmmmm.....

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
I'll take a Weber Performer Deluxe w/ best possibly Slow'N'Sear, grill grates, and Griddle N Drip Pan and still come out money ahead.... Or a Weber 26 with all said accessories and still come out ahead...
Looks aside, I don't like the design, or the apparent capacity. Not an engineer or anything, but I'm not convinced there's anything here that makes it as good or better than other established choices.
No, that is not a real nice looking cooker. It looks like someone would cook on in a nuke-punk post-apocalyptic movie. I am sure it works fine, but I think for the money a Performer would be much more attractive and can get all the extras.
They claim marine grade stainless steel but they don't actually specify the grade. To claim that it should be 316 stainless, the most corrosion resistant grade. It'd be interesting to see if that's what they actually used.

If you have the bucks to play, then go for it! Enjoy. For some reason though, when I look at it, it reminds me of an Airstream Camper with no tires. Go figure.
