Trendy? Nah, meeting pent up market demand of all the people who wanted a high-temp oven but not enough to build a janky one outside or spend thousands of dollars on a commercial one.

Granted, I haven't sprung for one yet, but it's probably just a matter of time. The price and/or inconvenience were the reasons I was holding out before, and they've solved those. I can't believe how cheap the options are now. I'd probably spend more building one of those crappy landscaping-block DIY ones, now, while before that was by far the more budget-friendly option.
