I just got home from the Auburn Hill, MI. store where I picked up two, one for me and one for my friend. I had overslept and arrived at the store a 1/2 hour after they opened but went right to the smokers and a guy was handing out tickets for them. A couple customers were there discussing the smoker with the clerk, which soon turned in to a 15 minute chat on smoking food and the MES. I mentioned this site a couple times, and some of the things I learned from everyone here regarding the MES and smoking in general so I suspect we'll see a few more new MI. faces soon.
As far as the store supply, it turns out they had almost 150 of them in stock for today, and while they weren't going fast, I did see at least 4 other people at the pick-up dock getting one. The real draw seemed to be the $9 jeans that had an almost piranha-like feeding frenzy going on around the table. I hit the line and was in and out of the place in just under an hour.
