Its not a bad price considering the features Paul mentioned. All that monitoring and control stuff makes for a very worry free setup and probably produces excellent and consistent results. My pit has a manual damper between the firebox and the main chamber, so I can modulate the temperature when things get too hot/cold. I've thought about putting a servo on it to automate this, but then I wouldn't have an excuse to relax near the pit and drink some homebrew (or scotch!). Plus my wife likes the brisket and if I wasn't monitoring it, she'd put me to work somewhere else! ;)
