Default Smokenator

Hi,

I feel like an idiot for just hearing about this for the first time two days ago, but has anyone used this? Any thoughts? If it works as promised it would be amazing.

With the recycling fee and redemption value you could turn in and buy 2 smokinators, oh wait forgot to factor in cost of gas. Never mind.
