    Congrats on the new LSG offset! She is a beauty! A lot of that build up around the lid is creosote buildup. I never touch mine. That's actually what creates a good seal as it's heating up. Mine is 5 years old, and I have never had rust in that area. The scratches on the off road package happen to mine as well. I wish they would use some sort of center bearing that would tighten up snugly to prevent the two metal surfaces from ever rubbing against each other, similar to a wheel bearing on a vehicle. Not a game changer but something I noticed as well. New sub here!

    • @KillerMillerQue
      @KillerMillerQue  2 роки тому +1

      Glad to have you Rus! 🙏🏿👊🏿💯💯 That's actually a good point about the seal.. I also don't touch it, mainly because I wouldn't want to peel off the paint or something, but as you said none of those things are big and visually it still looks great. And yes your pit always looks like new in your videos. 👍🏿💯💯

    Those scars give it character, brother. Perhaps a magnetic hook from Harbor Freight (or wherever) on your stack would hold your handle for the wagon. Would definitely love to see this thing running with some digital probes inside to see the evenness of the temps.

    • @KillerMillerQue
      @KillerMillerQue  Рік тому +2

      Yep, those are my war wounds... I've seen a couple people use the magnets and some just use a bungee hook tie and a tennis ball. Since mine never moves I just take mine off and store it in my tool shed. Keep your eye out I just may do that temp test soon!✌🏿👊🏿💯💯

    Your pit still looking showroom new.👍 I'm just over 5 years on mine.
    I no longer use the tuning plates I have them stacked on top of each other pushed tight against the fire box (better smoke flavor IMO).
    I use the charcoal basket when using my warmer oven like a drum smoker. The fire will jump across the divider plate so I use my basket by filling the basket with charcoal and wood chunks then I dump a 1/2 chimney full in the center and the fire burns outward (minion method). I'll get about 10 hours on a 1/2 basket full.
    The front shelf is not deep enough wish I had ordered it deeper 14".
    The fire management box is a winner IMO.
    I have yet to use water in the main cook chamber either.
    Mine was shipped to Southern Az. via UPS Freight, great service.
    Bottomline I'm still loving my LSG 24" offset with Warming Oven. I have the LSG 48" Santa Maria with side mounted brasero on my bucket list 😁

    • @KillerMillerQue
      @KillerMillerQue  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Sir!! I'm with you I love this dam thing.. talk about a good use of spare time..smh.
      A friend of mine recently did a video showing the same thing that he likes the way his LSG ran without the tuning plates, on the videos it looked more smokey if that makes sense. I also want that Santa Maria grill out here with weather like ours I feel like we cab really get the most put of a cooker like that and it just feels right in the SouthWest 🤷🏿‍♂️. I start my overnight cook in about 3 hours using the charcoal basket.. wish me luck!✌🏿👊🏿💯💯

    • @KillerMillerQue
      @KillerMillerQue  2 роки тому +1

      Also thanks for that feedback about the divider plates, I thought that might happen so when I was just filling up my basket I only took it to about halfway with charcoal and buried my wood chunks. Hopefully I get a good, clean slow burn..

    After watching your review and your other BBQ vids, makes me want a LSG 24 × 40 of the exact same model even more, unfortunately it's not in my budget yet, so my weber does all the work until I get my own LSG someday.
    Despite the discrepancies you mentioned, overall I still think the 24 × 40 is suitable for my BBQ needs! Your rig is a thing of beauty!
    In my opinion, it's flawless , Lone Star done great!

I don't quite know the moisture content but it's low.. this wood has been seasoned before I bought it then sitting out here in our dry heat can actually season wood faster than like the Midwest or somewhere like that because of our conditions.

    My experience with LSG on my 20x42 was a painless experience. I've had my 20x42 for 8 months, too. However, the shipping company pissed me off to no end! Somehow 3 big ass bolts got dropped into the top of the crate and scraped the hell out of the top of the pit. When I saw that, it made me sick to my stomach. That being said, I contacted Chris and he rushed out some paint and sandpaper. Even still, you pay all that money, you expect it to arrive in pristine condition.

    Another great video Joe! Have you tried your pit without tuning plates? I have a LSG 20x36 offset and a LSG 20x36 pellet both delivered on the same day last September 9th. Yes, both delivered on the same day pretty wild. You have a lot of good comments wrt your pit which also looks great. I almost went with that one but "normally" it is just my wife and I. I would like to see LSG send a email for customer comments after you have had your pit for 6 months. Hopefully they maintain their quality and workmanship, I know I enjoy mine but there are small things I would change. I would like to see them do something with the proximity of the lid handle to the shelf, it is way too close and is an easy change on mine. Thx again for sharing your video, keep them coming.

    Congrats on the gorgeous pit. I'm also an LSGer since 2012. The Snaking Charcoal basket is the one failed product IMO that they should stop offering. It never works as designed. all the coals will eventually light up together since the plate isn't anough of a barrier to prevent the heat from lighting the other side. I also can tell this isn't your first rodeo pit. Many folks do not remove the firebox grilling grate when not grilling.

As promised I'm in the middle of an experiment now using my basket for the first time. I figured that I shouldn't fill it too high because I figured the flame would jump over and ignite the rest of the coals so I went with about half way (high) to try and combat it. You'll see on the video I post tomorrow my Temps were pretty high at first and I had to keep it choked down the whole time not to be 300-350+. I made it work but I definitely see your point.

      What's up Jeffrey.. I chose the Lone Star because I liked the overall look, quality, and the craftsmanship was something I felt comfortable with. Everything about this pit is heavy duty yet clean and appealing to the eye. Also as I researched I always heard they had great customer service and people generally were blown away once they actually received their pit by the craftsmanship and make of it. Lastly there's a lot of cooking features I like that I get with my LSG offset.. and I couldn't find one I liked better.. 🤷🏿‍♂️
