I think I’ve watched maybe 50. Just to burn some things in my brain, and I kind of like them.

I did forget “I like to slice about the width of a #2 pencil”

That’s the whole thing I like about smoking. It’s actually very inexpensive meat that you are turning into something great.

Exactly.  Now with BBQ becoming this chic thing for so many people, demand has increased and the prices have gone up (someone talked about tri-tip earlier on also along these lines) for meat, but it's still pretty affordable when you think about it.  And especially if you consider how expensive it is to buy a whole smoked brisket from a restaurant, after meet and wood, you're still saving a ton of money, just investing a lot of time.  And while I'm not sitting with a lot of excess time with a full time job, kids and other hobbies, I don't mind putting the time into something great like a brisket every couple of months.
