Well the one on Amazon with next day prime delivery is £10.99 which isn't bad. There are others for about £8 but they are from China. There are a few on eBay for round about £8 from the UK with good feedback.
I think I paid about £11 for the one I bought a couple of years ago. I would...
No not yet, I think I ordered mine a couple of weeks after you when it had dropped to 73p
It's been 7 weeks now, I suppose I'll think about trying to get my 73p back from Amazon fairly soon.
It looks like it would have to be very, very hot smoking for zinc to give off fumes. According to the following web page - around 900º C

Which says:
"When zinc is raised to a high temperature (at or above its boiling point around 900C), it burns and...
I've had stuff that I've bought on eBay from China take take well over 2 months to arrive. I don't think enough time has elapsed yet to completely give up on them arriving. Is there any sort of cut off time on getting a refund from Amazon?
To be fair, they do have to come from China and most likely with the cheapest postage they can use, it wouldn't suprise me if they were sent surface mail so could easily be in excess of 6 weeks.
Whilst looking for a Thermapen on Amazon I came across some that are only £24 including postage
They are the genuine Thermapen 3's made by ETI, and sold directly by the manufacturer

Just click on "35 new from £0.73" - see image below
You'll arrive at this page

Though how anyone can supply a thermometer and ship it from China to the UK for 73p is beyond me...
It does seem an offer that's too good to be true, so there is a chance that it is, but the worst case senario is that they don't show up, in which case you should be able to get your money back through Amazon's A to Z guarantee scheme...
I have just come across a -50 - 550ºC infrared thermometer on Amazon.co.uk for £1.74 including postage. I have no idea if this is legit or not, and I'm not in the market for another thermometer so I won't be ordering one.
If anyone is interested, here is the link

Yes I found that article too after posting here.
Thanks for the heads up about the Plumb Centre, I've got a couple of branches nearby, and if you order them online and collect them instore they are £4.02 for 10kg - result! ...
Thanks for the info chaps.
I did manage to find on the Uuni site that any wood pellets would do as long as they were certificated to EN Plus-A1, they also mentioned liverpoolwoodpellets.co.uk who also sell "Lil Devils" bbq pellets which may or may not be of interest to you.
For 3 bags they...
