Smokers as an investment?

[Scrooge Fan]

I bought a Smokermaster smoker a few years ago for about $500 or $550. That was about the going price for similar units at the time. I found all the info on the web and ordered it by phone. Nice people to deal with. It is a well designed and very heavy duty cooker. I like it. I am now unable to find their website, so I assume that they are no longer in business.

Anyway, in looking at other websites I see that units of similar size and quality are now selling upwards of $900. Of course, my is used, but I suspect that I could sell it for at least as much as I paid for it. What do ya think? Should we be buying smokers instead of stock in Google?

The best part is, if the price does go down, I can still cook on it.

Who'da thunk it? Good deal.

I'm of the buy it to use it variety. I almost bought a commemorative addition SRV Strat after Stevie died. But I knew I would play it and not pack it away.

Guitars are meant to be played, want to be played, would wither and die if you did'nt play them......I have a 57 gretsch that I need to put away but, I just can't and she likes the attention!!!!:biggrin:

An investment denotes that you will profit from it one day. I don't think you will profit from collecting smokers but a smoker can provide so much more than money can buy.

The 400+% rise in steel prices over the past 3 years is the reason the cost is up. If steel goes down so will the relative value of your pit. I thought Smokemaster went out of business?
