Hot Shot 360 Oven has gone up

[Aaron_W]

Price of steel especially stainless has gone up dramatically over the past year. Piece of cold rolled 1/4 4x8 was 180 now 380. So he’s just trying to cover cost.

I just bought some steel tubing and they said their costs on steel have gone up 165% just since January, so I could see how that could impact the price of these ovens beyond the switch to a new owner.

I don't think you can touch one of these for less than $2,000 in any other brand.
When Stan first offered them I should have grabbed one. I think it was $690?? $100 More for the better controller.

I was thinking it would be at least $1500, so the price still seems pretty reasonable to me. Per the video Woodchucker referenced he still has some for $849 which is tempting, but since heat treating is still a something to learn, saving $150 for an oven that will sit in a corner for an undetermined time isn't enough to make me leap. If they had been $300 cheaper that would be harder to pass on. Of course if prices continue on their wild rise, I may be kicking myself next year when the ovens cost $1999. Here is hoping for some price stability so I can afford one when I can actually use it. Wish my income would rise by 165% in 9 months.

I see a lot of oven for sale at the auctions. Never much interest in them go for dirt cheap.

I got one from his second production run back in 2018. It was 799 plus 35 bucks shipping.
