The incinerator unit itself, might have been under $7k. It was bolted onto a trailer unit that is quite an expensive one, at that - basically a converted car-carrying dual-axle platform.
So as a package deal, $20k retail cost is inline with that setup, given a cost of the incinerator unit claimed as $7k (I didn't find anything, running a cursory search to price that Eliminator SN250 out). The fuel tank looks like it would be an add-on purchase, as well.

It's silly money being spent, that really only a man of means like DM would consider, given the legitimate possible uses that he would have had for it. Whether those uses were nefarious or otherwise, is purely conjecture at this point.
On the other hand, to throw the conspiracy theory up that it was someone else setting DM up, by buying the Eliminator SN250 behind his back, etc etc.. is just ..way out there.

Thank you for this info, it makes sense.
