Gregg, that is a bad mammer jammer! You asked for suggestions for what to cook so here goes. I'd like to see something simple like a pork but. Show us in detail how to control the smoker. Show us how evenly or unevenly it cooks from left to right, front to back and top to bottom. Also if you use the water reservoir, how easy is it to use and clean out. Also, something I've been wanting to see and there are no videos that I can find and that's how to clean it up after. And do you reseason the inside and outside. Do you hose it out or leave the grease build up for seasing. That's one of those subjects that can cause a big controversy but if your a hose it out type of guy show us that please good sir. So then after that smoke cook then obviously let's see some griddle action on that bad boy! That's my request, sir.
Oh hey, around the 4 minute mark I noticed when you slid the air dampener back and forth, from this side of the camera it appeared the bolts and washers were spinning/moving like they are not tightly fastened. Are they supposed to be loose like that? Brother I'm sorry for the long long comment. I want one of those pits so so bad! I'm saving up and hopefully in a year or so I'll have mine, so until then please keep the LSG videos comming! Cheers to ya my friend and have a great day.
Thanks Rusty. Great suggestions! Those nuts are locked into position so that the bolts kind of roll like bearings. Thanks again!
Rusty KC great request, if I can piggyback a request as well please, I am interested in knowing more about your offset experience in comparison with this one. I have not owned an offset smoker and I am considering one as well.
Once you get the fire set to temperature and you atart your smoke, how often will you have to add additional split wood? For example a 10hr smoke how often and how much split red oak will be required to maintain your avg 225° smoke?
Thanks for the detailed video, it answered several questions for me. What was the determining factor that helped you choose the 1/2" firebox over the insulated firebox?
Congratulations on your newest investment!🍻
I'll have a better idea how this compares to my horizontal offset after my first cook on it tomorrow. I can tell you that during the seasoning process it was very efficient with it's wood consumption. The main reason I opted for the 1/2" instead of the insulated is the fact that it just doesn't get cold here in San Diego. I mean, 50ºF is considered cold here and that would be in the winter time. The 1/2" will retain heat better than 1/4", so that's what I went with. I ran this thing for about 8 hours when I seasoned it and it was very efficient in regards to wood consumption.
Welcome to the Lone Star Grillz family!!! Man, that is one gorgeous pit!!! Very nice quality build and I enjoyed the tour of your new offset. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action brother!!! Cheers to ya!!!
Congratulations on your new LSG. I've had my 24x40 LSG offset for about a year. They are built like tanks. I have the 1/2 " firebox on mine too. Chris and his crew make beautiful pits and if you ever get the chance take a walk through his showroom. The place is awesome. I highly recommend them for anyone else looking for a bbq pit.
Agree Joe Hildreth. Looking forward to getting one
WOW, what a beauty. The steel, the workmanship, the fit & finish and detail. Greg, you are "STRUTIN" and rightfully so.
Rus, Troy, Justin, and now Greg have the Grill Thrill on with
LONE STAR GRILLZ
No bottle opener?!? What a piece of junk!!! Lol
That’s freaking awesome Greg. Pit is amazing and the nice diffused lighting is quite lovely. ;-)
LOL! Thanks Justin! She is a beaut!
I love watching you cook brisket!
Whoever did the welding is a badass, it definitely took time and skill. The smokers they make in Uvalde are awesome but this is next level.
I’m Uber impressed with the quality of those smokers. Outstanding quality! Great walkthrough, Brother!
That is definitely an awesome smoker.
Greg Sweet looking Pit Have Fun!!! I been watching your UA-cam channel for about 4 years just wanted to say Big Thanks having Fun BBQ with the Ballistic Griddle we Love it!!!
Love to see how the other half is living. It's a beauty! Can't wait to see what kind of stories you tell with this smoker.
I’ve had the bigger brother to that pit for a few years now and have absolutely nothing to complain about
"I sit on my patio and just stare at it." Haha... that was great. I would too!
Awesome smoker. Can’t wait to see some vids with this puppy.
Great video Greg. Chris and his team at Lone Star Grillz builds great quality and value. Going to my "go to" pit after I retire and move, only because they are built like tanks.
Great looking pit Greg I am sure you are going to enjoy it.
LSG's are the best on the market! After having mine for about a year and a half I can honestly say that! And now seeing all you UA-cam BBQ Stars jumping on board with the LSG's makes me feel good that I found the best product out there just before they started getting big via the interwebs!
Awesome features and well thought out design. Makes me wanna come over and cook in it! I'll bring the meat! Wagyu anyone?
Believe me Harry, after all of the street work is done and my AC works, you'll be getting a call!
Beast is the right word. Just gorgeous!
Brisket - ribs - short ribs - steak - burgers in one BBQ patch 😍 this will be a BBQ dream 😎
I picked up my 30x36 offset cabinet a while back. Chris makes some awesome cookers at LoneStar Grillz. Quality, Quality, Quality. Hands down the best. Made in Texas.
I have been looking at these; love to see it cook a mix, brisket, ribs, pull pork, and sausages!
Bad ass... The HD camera looks great too...I can be over anytime to help eat what you decide to cook!
I think that logo plate is WAY cool. Really sets the whole thing off.
Cheers!
I have their 30" vertical offset bought in '16. I didn't get the heavy wall firebox, that thing is a monster...
Just found your chanel and sbuscribed, will be looking for great cooks...
WOW, Greg,
Nice unit, can't wait to see you load that unit up.
Congrats on the New Lone Star.
Cheers,
Craig
Congrats bro! After doing a couple of Briskets on my friend's Lone Star Grill, I also want one. I really like yours also.
Nice Pit. Rush Jones started something. T-roy and now you. How about doing a brisket not wrapped. I know it could be a long cook but it would be interesting to see how it turns out. Congratulations.
That's the cook I'm leaning towards, unwrapped and using the water chamber.
Brian Moore oh man I’m one steak away from looking like a brisket boy, but yeah that would be awesome
Ballistic BBQ no man do a dry smoke and you git dat really nice bark, only use the water chamber to control your heat for D long and slow 👍👍
BB...Throw a few of your favorite beers in the water chamber, and im in!
Tough call... Maybe I can go wet the first few hours, then drain it to allow the bark to set? I'm digging on the idea of adding beer (stout) and spices to the mix.
Congrats on the fabulous smoker!
Very useful overview of what seems to be a great piece of equipment. I’ve pretty much decided to buy this, but your review helps tremendously.
Hey Greg! Congrats on this one......it's the Top of the Line in Quality, Design, and Craftsmanship in a True Stick Burner! Now That's Heavy Metal!!! \m/
That’s a awesome pit!! Look forward to seeing you put it to good use😃
Very nice pit Greg. I noticed in some of your earlier videos you had a gator pit those are very high quality pits too but I don't ever remember you using or even talking about it. Love your channel so keep up the great work.
your going to love the flat top for smash burgers... I have a Lone Star single door
24x48 off set with 1/2" fire box. Gas assist is my favorite add on!
I have the fever real bad for a vertical with slide outs. That thing will hold a ton of meat. Talk about sitting on the patio just staring at it, I went to bed last week dreaming about that cooker with PIF BBQ on the pit art. lol So many top notch things to talk about. And that half inch steel firebox with all of its special one of a kind xtras. I need to find a buyer for a good drum offset. lol
Awesome new smoker, exquisite craftsmanship on those lone stars. Can't wait to see what deliciousness you pull out of there.
That is INSANE. NEED IT.
The welding on it is a work of art.
That's awesome! I'd like to see the brisket cook out. I think that would be interesting to see how it turns out with the logs.
Awesome look’n rig you got there Greg! Can’t wait to see what you do with it brother!
very nice Greg and your logo looks like it was planed in the design idea from the start congratulations and I am a fan who cant wait to see what you cook/smoke...rock on man
Very nice Gregg, I have the LSG 24X60 trailer pit finally in production !!!!!! Very excited to fire it up ! LSG makes a great product. I greatly enjoy your videos and have followed you for sometime. Keep up the great work !!!! Fire up that smoker, throw on a brisket and butts !!!!! Thanks again........
man o man thats one good looking beast... can't wait to see what that thing cooks up !
Greg, that offset is huge! You could probably feed all your subscribers from it (well, at nearly a quarter million subscribers, that might be a bit of hyperbole) but, wow! And you look like a kid on xmas morning describing all the features. Good on ya, lad!
Nice piece of kit. Congrats 😀
Great looking smoker! Can't wait to see your first cook. Cheers!
I would love to see a Brisket Greg. Something common like a Texas seasoned, so we can gage the quality of the cook. And of course so famous burgers.Thanks for this.
What a fine piece of equipment. I bet the company will incorporate a bottle opener on their grills from now on after your video.
Congrats on the awesome new pit! Love my new LSG offset. My video request: Please try to cook smash burgers while also smoking BBQ to see if it can do both well at the same time.
This thing looks awesome.. i am just catching up on these now. I think i understand the design and the cooking potential of this thing after watching your walk through....
Gregg, Holy Smokes! Haha. I like the looks of that bad boy! Looking forward to seeing what you cook with it!
Dammit man. I see you have a new tank to add to the motor pool of grills you have lined up next to this beast. I like the attention to detail this grill/smoker has. I was surprised about the flat steel griddle surface over the fire box. That was about the same size steel plate I used for the Burger Wars competition. It worked fabulous once seasoned. A much needed accessory.
The casters are a much forgotten part of any movable grill so I've noticed. I'm glad that one had at least 5" casters to support the weight. I will say they should look into making all 4 swivel with locking pins if you decide to keep 2 in the stationary position. I relate this concept to the Snap On Tools Epiq model roll cabs that weigh 1k + empty. It makes it so easy to roll around and can be pushed straight back when rolling it left or right.
I take it you can cook just about anything on the griddle while maintaining the constant low and slow transfer of heat into the main chamber. You'll have to elaborate more on that when you do a double cook on it with something more than hot dogs or hamburgers. I used a laser thermometer on my 1/2" plate steel to see the difference in the fire pit temp and the griddle temp. There was difference.
This would be a great item to have if you're cooking for a fund raiser event, family reunion or a company cookout where you have lots of mouths to feed. This one is way too large for just a family cookout. I'm sure they have downsized models of this as well.
I laugh at those snide comments that are thrown in here taking "pot shots" at you because of jealousy and laziness. Maybe if they got off their ass and supplied meaningful videos for others to see and learn from, they might possibly have a sponsor ring their phone or mail an invitation to be a "Pro Staff" representing a company to possibly boost profits and lower the costs of products to the consumer. I bet they never thought once of that scenario.
Time to get that beast fired up and see a double cook one day, brother. Nice setup and as always. Hoo-ah!
It's a nice box for sure. LSG need to step up and make those racks adjustable and eventually insulate that cook chamber. If you insulate the smoker you don't need to build it out of 1/2" material, you can build it with .062 or.125. The difference shows up in the amount of fuel required to run the beast. I just finished building a commercial smoker and I can run it 8 hours on a small handful of coals and a few chunks of cherry.
Amazing smoker!! I want to make barbecue on it someday!!!
Open invitation brother!
Can't wait to see the first cook on this vertical offset Greg! 1/2" fire box! Wow, that is seriously beefed up and it will be seriously efficient on wood as well. I noticed you had a second port below the gas assist for a air controller I'm assuming? Did you get the charcoal basket with this pit? It with a air controller works fantastic for over night cooks. Best darn smokers on the planet hands down!
The boyz toys were their hot rods and their bikes . Today its their bbq that makes them " just one of the boys ".
I bet you can't name another piece of machinery that a man has that can make his mouth water by just looking at it.
I am jealous, very nice smoker. Congrats
I'm drooling and need to bbq soon.
A high end safe to keep your meat protected and secure. I can think of no better term for what a smoker does... lol. Cheers brother!
This smoker is a beast! A good brisket video would be sweet.
Great smoker, Lonestar makes quality products! Can't wait to see your first cook in it! I do like the Old Country Gravity fed vertical smoker too though? I'd like to see a side by side comparison of both of them cooking.
Would love to see you cook a brisket on it!!!!
Wow I want one when I can finally afford it 😒 that’s the best I’ve ever seen. Excellent design
Lone Star makes the Cadillac of cookers. They are very impressive.
Absolute beast. Am looking forward to your cooks on it!
Hey Greg that Offset brings back some memories 🤜🔥🤛
Looking forward to seeing you cooking on it!!! I need to swing by and do a video with you 😜
Awesome review as always!!!
Good for you man! You must be waking up around 2am just to look at it for one more time..... 👍🏻
Wow! that is an Awesome cooker! Cant wait to see some cooks on that!
Super sick pit.
that is one gorgeous grill Greg! I can't wait to see you cooking with it.
Look forward to seeing some burgers and pulled pork
Thats a sweet ass smoker. That can put in some work
Nice! Can't wait.
i really love the lone star smokers. i really want one. good video!!
Those Lonestars are awesome!!!!
Lonestar Grillz all the way
if it was on my patio, I would just stare at it as well LOL
Looks awesome Greg. Yeti makes a solid mount bottle opener that would go perfect with the grill
Greg, it’s great to see you back on an offset stick burner again! I’m interested in seeing how you use that unique LSG firebox with the griddle and the grill. I’m from the Houston area where LSG is manufactured. There are two other pit makers here in Houston, Gator Pits and David Klose Pits. These three are the best pit makers in the universe. I own a Gator Pit and I love it. I know you are always honest. May I ask what you would say comparing LSG to Gator Pit? Thanks and I am looking forward to your cooks on the LSG. Maybe do a shoulder clod on it?
Yes, I own a Party Gator and I really dig that pit. Tomorrow will be my first cook on the LSG, doing a couple racks of beef back ribs and a brisket, so I'll have an opinion on how it cooks by the end of the day. I can tell you this right now however. The details and workmanship in the LSG is Crazy Good, edging out GP a bit. Of course the rubber doesn't meet the road until it's cooking. I'll have a more definite answer very soon. Clod is on my "todo list" by the way.
Jebus thats on sweet pit! love the flat top grill.
Looks great cant wait for a video of some cooking.
That is a very impressive unit. I'd like to see you make brisket and ribs on there. Cheers Greg!
Could you discuss the pros and cons of different types of smokers and why you wanted the vertical smoker? There are so many options it can be confusing. And when or why would you want a water smoker? What conditions or food?
That is one fine cooking machine!
I can see some awesome food being turned out real soon.
One thing I noticed @ 2:55 - looks like the grease fitting on the door hinge is missing. I might be mistaken, just caught my eye.
Tango Joe, you spray Pam in the hole at the top of the hinge to keep it lubed up.
Wow. That really is awesome looking! Very nice indeed. Would love a go with that! Some amount of cooking space. Keep it simple, do a few racks of ribs for your first video.
I've been eyeing that same smoker for purchase. I want to see a brisket cook on that.
Great vid Greg 👍
Wow ....looks like an all in one
Gregg, Beautiful rig! I’m about to order the 24” cabinet smoker from LSG. Working out all the upgrades. JP suggested checking out your channel. Nice videos.
You're going to absolutely love that pit Jim!
Oh absolutely! Been watching you and JP BBQ cooking on your LSG’s. Trying to see if the warmer box can get high enough temperatures to bake bread. 450ish i hope. I’ll definitely keep watching you guys. Thanks!
I can’t wait to get my New LSG 20”x42”
I still love my little Yoder Cheyenne but the bigger LSG will triple my cooking capacity 😇 Thank You Greg for another Great Video
Nice! Congrats Greg!
My suggestion for what you should cook on that is that you should cook ALL THE MEATS!!!
love that stick burner...pricey, but amazing quality
lol Greg gets about 16 new grills and smokers every day. "Welp. It's 3:30....time to get a new smoker."
I wonder how much it would cost me to get one shipped to the uk, that thing is a beast! I need it in my life! Looking forward to more cooks on it!
Great looking pit! Brisket or beef ribs for the first cook!!
That is awesome. Wish I had one. I will start saving my pennies now.
Congrats on your new smoker/grill. Looks like you could do about 10 videos from 1 cook. And the bottle opener should be standard. Note to LSG.
Brisket of course!
What else could on say, Nice 👍
Nice-looking pit Greg like to see you cook beef plate ribs
