I took the advice and located a Smoke Vault 24" today!
I got it at Gander Mountain...$299.00 with a stainless steel Front door and stainless gas panel..It also came with an extra rack for seafood and Jerky..
The fit and finish on this unit was incredible..it went together perfectly!
Everything on it is heavy duty, and it is a much more stable unit than the GOSM, which we looked at at the local Walmart..The only thing that I have to complain about is the grease they use to protect the stainless steel..It is really hard to get off...Thanks to DeejayDebi and others for their help...Ribs and a brisket this weekend!

WOW that's pretty! They didn't have the stainless doors when I bought mine. It's also cheaper than bought mine for! Good deal!

Your going to love it! You won't belive the food you can pack in that thing! WOOO HOO!

One thing ... when smoking at higher temps like around 300 the handle does get hot! keep a dishrag handy!

I love it!

Excellent! My Smoke Vault is identical to yours and I also got mine at Gander Mountain for the $299 price! It's almost too pretty to use...but I have managed to get beyond that thought

Podvil,
Looks like a great unit. Congratulations! By the way, does it have double walls?

Aloha, Does anyone know of any vendor that would ship one of these to Hawaii?

I do not know if any of these are in Hawaii or if they ship to Hawaii, but here is Camp Chef's site with their dealer locator page. Hope this helps

If you cannot locate anyone that will ship to you, I would contact Camp Chef directly and tell them of your problem. I cannot imagine why they would not try and accomadate you by maybe shipping one directly from the factory. Let me know how it goes.

Found a place on the net that sells the 24" Smoke Vault for $249.00. They can ship it and shipping costs appear to be very reasonable. The place is located in north central Michigan (near Bay City).

The picture of the unit shows the "black door model". I know that all of Camp Chefs' 24" newer models has the stainless steel door and they stopped making the black door one. It's possible that the picture on the internet is just old and needs to be updated...I don't know...

Heck with $50 less than Gander Mountain's price, that'll sure eat up some of the freight costs now matter where you ship the unit. Here's the link:

Sportsmens' Warehouse has a few left. The 24" is $219.00. I also have a $10.00 off coupon and three gift certificates totalling $160.00. Looks like I'm real close to having a Smoke Vault!

BTW, their regular price was $279.00.

Man, that's a good looking unit! If I had run across one of those first I may not have built my homemade electric rig.

Happy eating.

Okay, you talked me into it!! I just finished putting together my new Smoke Vault 24

. I picked it up at Sportsmans Warehouse. It was on sale for $219.95 plus they gave me another 5% off because I showed them my VA medical card (?).

Do you use the chips and chunks or the finer stuff designed for the Little Chief smokers? I'm looking forward to trying this baby out
