Thanks Troy! I'm super happy with this pit! Man she runs like a dream. Can't wait to get her fired back up this weekend. Stay away rain, lol! Thanks for watching Troy, I sure appreciate it
Hi Russ, As you may have observed, I’m new to watching your channel. Beyond all I find it simply fascinating to view your recipes and to learn about smoke cookers and the adventures of backyard BBQ. I may have mentioned early on that I reside in Washington, DC. Downtown in fact. On the roof top of my complex we have several grills custom built in heavy brick walls. If course it is gas flamed and we can add wood in the lower shaft as needed. I paid full attention to your transport and explaining the features. Job well done Russ. I look forward to your first grilling video using the Lonestar Grillz 24” x 36” Smoker. Again, here’s to all your success, and as always, thanks for sharing. Kevin in DC, 4 blocks up the street from the 1600 Penn.
Great video, especially at the end when told us how u got it off of your pickup truck. I have heard the LTL freight charges to ship one of those cookers can be $500.00 on top of the cost of the cooker. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is one of the finest designs I have ever seen I’m fascinated with smokers Offset is my favorite nice big fire box plenty of cooking space for a backyard model well built and I love the griddle and grill design over the fire box Coffee and breakfast on the griddle getting the fire ready make some shotgun shells and jalapeño poppers for midday snacks and rolling smoke with a few drinks and friends What a day Love thousands smoker outstanding
Your bravery is legendary; doing all that for all those people on a brand new smoker. I'd have spent 2 months testing everything. Not to mention getting the timing so close on so many different cooking times. Excellent work.
Thank you, I appreciate it! I learned quite a bit about running this pit in the break in video, and learned even more in this cook. It will only get better, but I was very happy with the results of the different meats.
Rus, that is one of the most solid built offsets I possibly have ever seen. A LOT of thought clearly went into the design of this beast. I don't have time to skim through all the comments, so apologies if you've already addressed this...but I noticed towards the end you had your iGrill set out. I'm assuming you had a couple ambient pit probes for some temp checks throughout the chamber? I'd be curious how well it regulates heat throughout the chamber and if you noticed any big variances. Also...like I'm sure some others have mentioned, definitely please try out using water in an upcoming cook and let us know if you think it's needed or not. Amazing cooker brother. I know your AMPING! :)
Steve, this truly is a beast of a smoker and built to take it and to last! Yes, I had two probes in the smoker. Each probe at opposite ends of the lower grate. I used them to see the temperature difference from the fire box side to the exhaust side as I made adjustments to the tuning plates. I got it tuned in with only a 5°F difference, and once I add water to the pit on my next cook, I should see no difference at all, but I can live with 5° difference all day long as is. That's what I love about the tuning plates. If I want a 50° difference I can do it for a hot and cooler side. Thanks Steve, and I appreciate you stopping by brother!
Rus, I watched your LSG review of your new pit. I was immediately sold on getting one of their grills. I even mentioned to Chris about the vid of him and you loading yours. The craftsmanship that goes into building one of their pits is second to none. You must see it in person to realize the quality. I ordered the 30" x 36" cabinet smoker. Keep the vids coming. Keep the door shut and the heat in. Made "N" The Shade Bbq
Good to see you finally got her home. I just picked mine up yesterday and have to say the wait was well worth it. Looking forward to your first cook video. Can't wait to fire mine up and get it seasoned.
+Darrell Bilbrey I tell you what, pictures of this smoker on the internet does them no justice. I was amazed at how big it was when I first seen it! Congrats on yours! I know you was happy to get it home!
Oh, I will be watching each and every one of these. Chris is smart to trust you with this. He clearly does not have time to do cooking videos and I know for a fact he's been trying to do more of that for years. You'll probably end up being the thing that locks in my order finally. Not gonna lie. lol. By the way, is that a new logo?
Sorry, just found your reply. The logo is actually designed for t shirts, but thought I would use it to replace my old avatar for my channel. I think Chris had his reservations at first, but he is very happy with the response from these few videos I've done, and I'm super happy he trusted me to come through for him. He hasn't seen anything yet ;)
Rus, that looks like the finest offset I have ever seen for a back yard smoker, they put some thought into this one, all the mods you would need to do with a COS you would not need to do that with this one. Heavy gauge steel, great welds everywhere. Finally, someone finally figured where the the exhaust for the smoke stack needed to be and hopefully an accurate temp gauge, great smoker.....
Hey Rus! Just watched your video of your new toy! Man that thing is AWESOME! Built like a tank! So versatile, and a well thought out smoker. You will get many years of enjoyment out of that, and what I like is that you went out of the mainstream and went with a brand that isn't on everyone's radar. I always try to blaze my own path as well. Congrats, and can't wait to see you cook on it! Enjoy!
Hey Sandy, thanks for watching the video! Yes sir, she is built to take it and to last! I have a feeling this company will be at the top of the smoker chain before long! I love their attention to detail on these smokers, and the build quality is fantastic and made to last!
That's the nicest Grill I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to the cooking video. The craftsmanship is second to none. Thanks for the video. I've gotta get me one.
Great video and that Lone Star smoker/grill is the best one I've ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to put a video together showcasing that new cooker. Can't wait to see it in action!
I agree completely. That's the first thing my wife said "wow I didn't think it was that big". It's a beauty for sure. Haven't got to fire it up yet but I feel like it has already exceeded expectations.
Your going to love it! BTW, don't let the temps fool you. I went 3 hours without my temps falling off once I got it dialed in to my target temp, and finally it started to fall a little, and when I looked in the fire box, there was nothing left, lol! Not even enough embers to start another log. That's how well the heavy pit holds heat. So that taught me to check it once a hour, but will probably be adding a split log about once every hour and a half to keep her running smooth.
Congratulations!! Just picked mine up as well about a week ago. I did a lot of research and LSGz make one fine pit! Beautiful addition to my back patio! Looking forward to some more of your videos.
Congrats to you as well! Great choice! LSG does such awesome work on these pits, and have features that no one else has or is doing such as the 1/2" fire grate! That's a really big deal to me! More videos coming for sure! This will be my go to pit when I'm doing a low and slow cook, and I'm going to be using the griddle and grill as well in up coming videos.
Pretty awesome acquire there Rus! Looks very well built, excellent walk through demo - and with your experience, you should know a good weld! Your work ethic shines here - do it right, make it strong. Also see you had the forethought to lay in a near forest of wood in anticipation of using this beastie. Your wife might be a little bit jealous over the next few weeks, ;)
Thank you for your excellent review. I am getting ready to order a 20X36 for my birthday. Although the design is a little different for the 20 inch series I have to believe the quality of the build is just as meticulous as the 24 inch series.
Wow I love your smoker! It ticks all the boxes and well built. I like how you can grill on the firebox. I just wish we had these in Australia. Enjoy it, I can't wait to try some of your recipes, they look deelish!!
Thanks John! This Lonestar Grillz offset has completely changed my mind on what I use to think of a offset as for as fuel consumption, and yes sir, the BBQ is sure enough real deal pit BBQ with that distinctive flavor that only cooking with wood can give you. Thanks for stopping by John! I was really happy to see you got all your videos back on the Man Cave! Awesome brother!
Thanks Jim! Yeah, after being a pipe welder/pipe fitter for almost 40 years, good quality just jumps out at me, and this smoker is well built and built to last
That's awesome that you got you a Lonestar Grillz. I plan on getting a trailer pit from them when I move back to Texas after I retire from the Air Force.
They had some awesome trailer pits there the day I picked this one up, and I was really surprised by the price! I figured they went for much for than that.
Nice pit.!! I had a 20"x 42" custom made pit by pits by JJ in Houston which looks similar.... I'd recommend an ash catching pan in the fire box for an easy clean up... Hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
I've been lurking your channel for a while and I appreciate all of your videos and look forward to the upcoming ones, especially the ones with this smoker because I've eyeing them for a while now. Being that I'm just about 15 miles south of them on I-45 in Spring, Tx. it seems like a good fit but I haven't been able to find a reputable source for information on their cookers. I'm also a central Louisiana native that lives in the Houston area now so I appreciate all of your cooking techniques and recipes. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the awesome videos.
Russ I purchased a 24x40 smoker from Lonestargrillz based on this very video. I’d like to thank you for all of your great reviews and I am very pleased with my purchase. The only thing I’d like to know is your honest opinion on the damper door. I feel it isn’t large enough for proper air flow. I find myself having to open the door slightly or the fire starves for air and I get dirty smoke. Have you experienced this?
Congrats on the new Lonestar Grillz offset! Your going to absolutely love it. Over time, I have learned to adjust my fire size for the heat I'm trying to achieve. I've shown that in other videos since making this one. Once you start your smoker with two to three splits of wood, just feed it a split as it needs it to maintain the range your looking for with both intake and exhaust wide open. They are both relatively the same size which makes for even constant air draw. Every since I've starting doing that, I've had no problem at all maintaining a clean fire with excellent smoke. As with any offset you will experience temperature changes when you add a new split. Don't worry about that, because it doesn't last long and will not effect the cook. It will balance back out. Just leave everything set as you had it before adding the split. Another tip is to put 4 to 5 splits on your fire box top to heat up as your smoking your meat, and as you add one, it will ignite very fast and still produce a clean smoke. As you use one, replace it with another one. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask. Hope this helps.
You mentioned couple weeks ago you had one on order. I just found out about offset smokers in January. The first one I found on the web was the Lone Star, then Gator, then Yoder. I really wanted to go big, but ened up with another make, which is built well too, just cheaper. But, as we always heard...you get what you pay for. Yours is top dollar but it is definitely top quality. Every point on the walk thru is nothing spared. Enjoyed your burn in vid, and looking forward to making some good cooks on it. Keep'em com"in Russ.
There are a hand full of fabricators that make these custom made grills, and they do cost more, but to me, well worth it and Lonestar Grillz is doing a few things that no other company is doing such as the 1/2" fire grate, and their top lid flanges conform to the shape of the smoker like no other. This grill will last a life time if cared for, like removing ash after every cook, and keeping the fire box oiled down in between cooks as well as the charcoal basket. Glad you enjoyed the video, and there will be many more using this smoker. Thanks Phil!
The video was extremely enlightening. I like the design and the size of your smoker, saw a lot of others out there 16" or 20" for more money and not built as well. I like the 24" size, ideal. Thanks for the video and I look forward to seeing your cooks from it. I want to get one when I can.
Your welcome! I couldn't be any happier with a smoker, and can't wait to bite into some sure enough real BBQ smoked on this pit. Coming up next video :)
Hey Rus! I'm excited for You! From a design, material, and craftsman ship aspect…. this has to be the best pit going. There is not much on TH-cam showing these pits in action. Can't wait to see how it performs for you. It's on my wish list! Smoke On!!!!!
Rus I am so very impressed with your new smoker. I was planing on adding a stick burner to my grill collection this summer or fall. I was going to go with one of the Yoders for sure but after seeing the quality and all the options on your pit I have some thinking to do for sure.
Joe, I'm telling ya brother! You will not regret getting a Lonestar Grillz smoker! Top of the line in my opinion! I did my homework before ever contacting them.
Awesome smoker Rus. I'm really impressed with the over quality. Best of luck with it. I'm really looking forward to seeing you start implementing it into your video's
Thank you John! We will be firing it up next weekend for it's maiden voyage. Like any other pit, I will have to learn how it reacts, but I'm pretty confident, after doing this burn in, that it's going to be a piece of cake. Stay tuned brother!
Ready for a updated video of your fire management since you have learned your pit. I'm still learning. Mostly all things you can do with the plates. Makes for a versatile, efficient machine.
Russ. Thank you for the video. After watching a bunch of your videos I ended up ordering the same exact one with the offroad package and some other accessories. I started looking for reviews on another competitor but thankfully came across your channel. I will definitely be keeping you on my TH-cam list. Question, how has the pit been holding up since then? And have you discovered any other benefits or downfalls since then?
Pit is holding up fantastic! I’ve got a new video coming out soon showing a couple of things I’ve added. No downfalls at all. Love it as much as I ever have
My new 20x42 just arrived Friday! Thanks again for pointing me to LSG. I've even started a new BBQ channel to chronicle this new cooker! Thanks for your great videos. I'm curious, how is your paint holding up? Did the seasoning process work out like it was supposed to? I'll be doing mine next weekend. Thanks Rus!
Congrats Rus! Welcome to the LSG family. I still gaze at my vertical offset every time I'm in the backyard going on 3 years now. Top notch smokers. What's on tap for the weekend on it?
Congratulations! That's a great looking smoker I've been watching their channel and all the different roles they make for a long time dreaming about owning one enjoy
Very nice pit. Congratulations. That steel box for charcoal snake method should do very well for long cooks! Will you be doing a review on a Shirley Fabrication and/or a Lang Pit?
I know you mentioned that it’s a 1/4 inch fire box. Would you recommend staying with the 1/4 inch or the 1/2 inch fire box? And why? Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
1/4” is all I need down here but if you live in a cold climate I would recommend the 1/2” or the insulated fire box. If you live in the Southern states, the 1/4” is all you will ever need
In-laws are in Katy, TX (west side of Houston). Going down there in a couple of months, may need to make a side trip to see these guys. Good video and can't wait to see what good stuff you throw on your new grill! Smoke ya ribs Russ!
Hey russ when I worked offshore many many moons ago ppl used to make grills out of pipe for offshore use. 3/4 in., Rebar and flexible grating I think it's called. the grate with the diamond shaped holes like in your grills charcoal basket and the shelf you spoke about. Anyways they were like bad to the bone so I know this is awesome. Steel is a great holder of heat i guess is how I wanna say it. It distributes it holds it very evenly.
Rus I just ordered a 24”x 36”. I am just wondering if there is plenty of room in it compared to a GMG Jim Bowie that I have. How big of suckling pig do you think it will hold? Thanks for all the videos keep up the good work !
I'm in gautier ms... I myself already hav a 14.5 Weber Smokey Mountain ( WSM ) , 2 - 22" WEBER KETTLE GRILLS & 1 22" WEBER PERFORMER DELUXE GRILL with the table... I thought bout Lang & Yoder Smokers ; but after seeing yours on here ; I'm liking what I see
I pass through Gautier everyday on my way to work. I have other smokers and grills, but these Lonestar Grillz really put a smile on my face when I get ready to fire them up. Very much worth looking into. There is a waiting period after ordering one because of the backlog of orders but very well worth the wait. If your on Facebook, check out this Lonestar Grillz Owners group. People in that group can tell you first hand about these smokers and the great build quality not to mention how well they perform. facebook.com/groups/551380464971244/
That smoker looks to be built like a tank. I was admiring the welds, after you pointed them out. I work in the auto industry and would be very happy to see those welds on our products; either hand-welded or by robot! What will you cook to christen it? It appears to be large enough to do a half-grown whole hog, if you wanted to.
That was a very good review. Thanks. I like the griddle/grill combo on the firebox. That's a neat design. Looking forward to seeing your break in cook.
Hey Rus I love your videos. I build and sell my own grills, I noticed you had a little trouble moving your tuning plates, I know it's not from bad design move it from the middle not the end, it'll work much easier. You may know this by now. Love your videos, keep up the great work my friend
I was not trying to adjust them on video, only showing that they can be adjusted by moving them around a bit. It only makes since to start with the middle and not the end since the other plates would be in the way. Thanks for watching.
Congrats on one sweet looking grillz. No doubt you'll be turning out some great Q. Do u plan on covering that stack of wood to keep the rain off?. From what I've seen/read, the best smoke flavor comes from dry logs that ignite quickly rather than initially smoldering too long.
wow looks amazing the clean wellding the massive build of the smoker i only have a UDS like your PitBarrel Cooker as smoker but a smoker like this would be perfekt
Awesome Choice of BBQ Pit!!!! My smoker has the same location for the smoke stack. Great review !!! Excited to see cooks stoked on new bbq pits!!! Texas #1 BBQ PITS!!!!
If you put your coals and logs all the way to the side walls on the back 1/2 of the firebox. You can preheat and dry your next logs to burn on the front of the fire box. Burns cleaner. But you probably know that. Great video. What's the msrp on this baby???
I've actually got another way that I will be doing the logs when I actually have meat in the pit, but yes, that's a great method for getting them hot and thanks! Their website has a sale price of $1,850 or it did last time I looked.
Thanks Kevin! I prefer a offset because with the tuning plates, you have more options for controlling pit temps. If I want a hotter side, and a cooler side I can do it, if I want the same temp across the smoker, I can do it, but with a reverse flow, there is a permanent welded in plate that gives you the same temperature across the smoker, so you have to work with that, and no way for adjusting if you wanted to. I guess it comes down to personal preference but I always go with more choices.
Russ, that makes a lot of since. I have never had an offset with turning plates. The only ones I have had are pull behind offsets and had a solid piece of steel that stop at a certain point and that was always the hot spot. I could never put meat there or next to fire box cause it was too hot so left small area to put meat for even smoke.
Thank you so much for your input and helping the smoking world. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Keep up the good work and maybe we will meet one day.
Thank you so much for the helpful review! About how often do you have to add splits to this smoker? And do you add one or two at a time? Trying to figure out if this large of a grill would be overkill for me. Thanks!
I get the pit up to temperature with 2 splits, and then add a split around every hour to maintain temperature. That is on this pit. Cheaper and thinner walled offsets are not as efficient and can go through more wood. I'm still super happy with mine.
It's a beast of a smoker for sure, and this is about as close as you can come to traditional BBQ cooked over real wood, and I'm really looking forward to making these videos with it! Lot's more to come!
Thanks! You can't go wrong with this cooker and worth the wait. You can contact Chris with Lonestar Grillz, and he can give you the lead time on getting it built. I'm sure it changes week to week depending on demand and time of the year
I ordered one an hour after seeing your video. It was on my radar for awhile along with Shirley Fabrication. I hope your cook includes a brisket.......
Smoky Ribs, I'm a new subscriber and have been watching your videos on this smoker. It is really a gorgeous BBQing machine. In your opinion, how does this unit compare to a Yoder Smoker like the Loaded Witchita for instance? Nice job on this video and the others I've watched.
First I want to say thanks for subscribing! I absolutely love this Lonestar Grillz offset! I've owned other offsets in the past and there is no comparison. I've never owned a Yoder Smoker, but I have watched many videos where people are using them. I personally prefer the really huge fire box design I have on mine compared to the pipe fire boxes. I haven't burnt any paint off, because this smoker runs great once started with just one small split log at a time, and the fire never comes in contact with the sides like it would in a pipe fire box, plus it has a good size grill grate and griddle at the top of the firebox which is really handy. Lonestar Grillz prides their self in having the tightest fitting lids of any smoker out there, and I've seen it first hand watching other videos, and comparing them to the very little smoke loss I encounter. A friend has a competition Yoder Kingman and he leaks really bad around the chamber door. Shouldn't be that way for what they cost. I'm not downing any other smoker company, but I will say that I'm very very happy with what I have and will never look any further than Lonestar Grillz when it comes to top of the line, well built smokers. Can't go wrong! Maybe you should check out this FaceBook page and ask some of these guys what their opinion is as well. facebook.com/groups/551380464971244/
Thanks, I love it! There is not really a water pan, but instead, the water actually goes into the bottom of the pit if you decide to use water, and I think I will on this cook coming up. It not only stops meat from drying out because of the moister it's adding to the surrounding air, but it helps out in keeping a even heat across the pit, while using the tuning plates as well, so I want to see how it goes, then I'll do a cook without water and see which I like best.
Russ this smoker looks so amazing. i am so jealous because I want a custom smoker built badly. I tried getting one built here in Italy but they don't know how Americans BBQ. I love 2 hours away from Texas when I visit home I was wondering how much would a smoker like this cost? I plan on getting stationed in the USA on my next tour of duty I would like to see these guys hopefully they can build me one.
When you get back to the US, I highly recommend you talk with Chris from Lonestar Grillz. They do outstanding work. Right now this same pit goes for $1,850, which in my opinion is a great price. This smoker is a beast and built to last!
+Neal Hamilton I went with a offset because I like the ability to get different temps from one end to the other, and still have the ability to have the same temp from one end to the other, if I want via tuning plates. A back flow doesn't give you those choices. It's designed to run the same temp across the smoker with no real ability to have a hotter side if you need that on some cooks. I definitely made the right decision with this Lonestar Grillz offset. Very happy with it!
Hey brother, I just got my vertical offset smoker but I'm new to the art of smoking. could you make a video for beginners. how to smoke, getting the smoker up to temp, maintaining temp, not over smoking the meat etc..... I can't find any good videos plus I enjoy your videos.
Contact Chris at Lonestar Grillz and he can tell you about their shipping. I'll be using hickory on my next cook. I have hickory and pecan, and love them both, so it's possible I'll mix it up a little
That is very well built pit. Congratulations Rus!!!! I'm so excited you have an offset pit, and from Texas no less!!!! Outstanding brother!
Thanks Troy! I'm super happy with this pit! Man she runs like a dream. Can't wait to get her fired back up this weekend. Stay away rain, lol! Thanks for watching Troy, I sure appreciate it

Your welcome Justin, and thanks for checking out the video brother!
Oh, I will be watching each and every one of these. Chris is smart to trust you with this. He clearly does not have time to do cooking videos and I know for a fact he's been trying to do more of that for years. You'll probably end up being the thing that locks in my order finally.

It's a top notch smoker built to the same standards as their competition models. I'm very excited about this smoker!
Hey Rus! Just watched your video of your new toy! Man that thing is AWESOME! Built like a tank! So versatile, and a well thought out smoker. You will get many years of enjoyment out of that, and what I like is that you went out of the mainstream and went with a brand that isn't on everyone's radar. I always try to blaze my own path as well. Congrats, and can't wait to see you cook on it! Enjoy!
Hey Sandy, thanks for watching the video! Yes sir, she is built to take it and to last! I have a feeling this company will be at the top of the smoker chain before long! I love their attention to detail on these smokers, and the build quality is fantastic and made to last!
Congratulations Rus. I'm looking forward to seeing you cook with this. You've got quite an arsenal now!
Thank you Lee! I can't wait for the first cook on this too! Thanks for watching brother!
That's the nicest Grill I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to the cooking video. The craftsmanship is second to none. Thanks for the video. I've gotta get me one.
I’ve done quite a few videos using it since this video. It does an outstanding job.
Great video and that Lone Star smoker/grill is the best one I've ever seen! Thanks for taking the time to put a video together showcasing that new cooker. Can't wait to see it in action!
I agree completely. That's the first thing my wife said "wow I didn't think it was that big". It's a beauty for sure. Haven't got to fire it up yet but I feel like it has already exceeded expectations.
Your going to love it! BTW, don't let the temps fool you. I went 3 hours without my temps falling off once I got it dialed in to my target temp, and finally it started to fall a little, and when I looked in the fire box, there was nothing left, lol! Not even enough embers to start another log. That's how well the heavy pit holds heat. So that taught me to check it once a hour, but will probably be adding a split log about once every hour and a half to keep her running smooth.
Congratulations!! Just picked mine up as well about a week ago. I did a lot of research and LSGz make one fine pit! Beautiful addition to my back patio! Looking forward to some more of your videos.
Congrats to you as well! Great choice! LSG does such awesome work on these pits, and have features that no one else has or is doing such as the 1/2" fire grate! That's a really big deal to me! More videos coming for sure! This will be my go to pit when I'm doing a low and slow cook, and I'm going to be using the griddle and grill as well in up coming videos.
Pretty awesome acquire there Rus! Looks very well built, excellent walk through demo - and with your experience, you should know a good weld! Your work ethic shines here - do it right, make it strong.
Also see you had the forethought to lay in a near forest of wood in anticipation of using this beastie.
Your wife might be a little bit jealous over the next few weeks, ;)
Randy T. Scarecrow, na! I don't get jealous over a grill. I cook on them as much as he does!
+Randy T. Scarecrow Thanks Randy! Built like a tank and built to last.
Thank you for your excellent review. I am getting ready to order a 20X36 for my birthday. Although the design is a little different for the 20 inch series I have to believe the quality of the build is just as meticulous as the 24 inch series.
Wow I love your smoker! It ticks all the boxes and well built. I like how you can grill on the firebox. I just wish we had these in Australia. Enjoy it, I can't wait to try some of your recipes, they look deelish!!
Looks like it’s time for me to start playing with the big guys and get myself one of those. I love things built with pride.
Excellent lookin' offset Rus! I admire those of you who cook on these... it's worth the effort!
Thanks John! This Lonestar Grillz offset has completely changed my mind on what I use to think of a offset as for as fuel consumption, and yes sir, the BBQ is sure enough real deal pit BBQ with that distinctive flavor that only cooking with wood can give you. Thanks for stopping by John! I was really happy to see you got all your videos back on the Man Cave! Awesome brother!
Wow! That's a beauty! I used to do a lot of welding myself so appreciate seeing well built stuff like that!
Thanks Jim! Yeah, after being a pipe welder/pipe fitter for almost 40 years, good quality just jumps out at me, and this smoker is well built and built to last
That's awesome that you got you a Lonestar Grillz. I plan on getting a trailer pit from them when I move back to Texas after I retire from the Air Force.
They had some awesome trailer pits there the day I picked this one up, and I was really surprised by the price! I figured they went for much for than that.
Great review Rus, I can not wait to see the first run next week!
+BensBQ Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
Nice pit.!! I had a 20"x 42" custom made pit by pits by JJ in Houston which looks similar.... I'd recommend an ash catching pan in the fire box for an easy clean up... Hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
Thanks, and a ash pan is a excellent idea!
I've been lurking your channel for a while and I appreciate all of your videos and look forward to the upcoming ones, especially the ones with this smoker because I've eyeing them for a while now. Being that I'm just about 15 miles south of them on I-45 in Spring, Tx. it seems like a good fit but I haven't been able to find a reputable source for information on their cookers. I'm also a central Louisiana native that lives in the Houston area now so I appreciate all of your cooking techniques and recipes. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the awesome videos.
+Chris Perkins Thanks, I appreciate you watching my videos and glad your enjoying them! Thanks for the comments 👍
Russ I purchased a 24x40 smoker from Lonestargrillz based on this very video. I’d like to thank you for all of your great reviews and I am very pleased with my purchase. The only thing I’d like to know is your honest opinion on the damper door. I feel it isn’t large enough for proper air flow. I find myself having to open the door slightly or the fire starves for air and I get dirty smoke. Have you experienced this?
Congrats on the new Lonestar Grillz offset! Your going to absolutely love it. Over time, I have learned to adjust my fire size for the heat I'm trying to achieve. I've shown that in other videos since making this one. Once you start your smoker with two to three splits of wood, just feed it a split as it needs it to maintain the range your looking for with both intake and exhaust wide open. They are both relatively the same size which makes for even constant air draw. Every since I've starting doing that, I've had no problem at all maintaining a clean fire with excellent smoke. As with any offset you will experience temperature changes when you add a new split. Don't worry about that, because it doesn't last long and will not effect the cook. It will balance back out. Just leave everything set as you had it before adding the split. Another tip is to put 4 to 5 splits on your fire box top to heat up as your smoking your meat, and as you add one, it will ignite very fast and still produce a clean smoke. As you use one, replace it with another one. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask. Hope this helps.
You mentioned couple weeks ago you had one on order. I just found out about offset smokers in January. The first one I found on the web was the Lone Star, then Gator, then Yoder. I really wanted to go big, but ened up with another make, which is built well too, just cheaper. But, as we always heard...you get what you pay for. Yours is top dollar but it is definitely top quality. Every point on the walk thru is nothing spared. Enjoyed your burn in vid, and looking forward to making some good cooks on it. Keep'em com"in Russ.
There are a hand full of fabricators that make these custom made grills, and they do cost more, but to me, well worth it and Lonestar Grillz is doing a few things that no other company is doing such as the 1/2" fire grate, and their top lid flanges conform to the shape of the smoker like no other. This grill will last a life time if cared for, like removing ash after every cook, and keeping the fire box oiled down in between cooks as well as the charcoal basket. Glad you enjoyed the video, and there will be many more using this smoker. Thanks Phil!
The video was extremely enlightening. I like the design and the size of your smoker, saw a lot of others out there 16" or 20" for more money and not built as well. I like the 24" size, ideal. Thanks for the video and I look forward to seeing your cooks from it. I want to get one when I can.
Your welcome! I couldn't be any happier with a smoker, and can't wait to bite into some sure enough real BBQ smoked on this pit. Coming up next video :)
Hey Rus! I'm excited for You! From a design, material, and craftsman ship aspect…. this has to be the best pit going.
There is not much on TH-cam showing these pits in action. Can't wait to see how it performs for you.
It's on my wish list! Smoke On!!!!!
I'm super happy with it, and look forward to many many cooks on this bad boy. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out, I appreciate it!
Rus I am so very impressed with your new smoker. I was planing on adding a stick burner to my grill collection this summer or fall. I was going to go with one of the Yoders for sure but after seeing the quality and all the options on your pit I have some thinking to do for sure.
Joe, I'm telling ya brother! You will not regret getting a Lonestar Grillz smoker! Top of the line in my opinion! I did my homework before ever contacting them.
Hey I can't wait to see your videos on it! I just am wondering what the shipping cost would be
It's worth driving to go get it Joe. There place is only around a 8 hour drive for me
Wow this smoker is a beast! Definitely looks like it's built to last. Can't wait to see you cook on this one!
+mommyof3redheadsand1brunette It sure is! Next video will be the first cook 😀
Awesome smoker Rus. I'm really impressed with the over quality. Best of luck with it. I'm really looking forward to seeing you start implementing it into your video's
Thanks, I am still in awe over this smoker! So well built! You will be seeing a lot of this smoker on future videos ;)
Awesome, in depth and knowledge review. And not boring! You just got yourself a subscriber!
I'm happy for you , Rus! I want a stick burner myself. Can't wait to see what you cook on it.
Thank you John! We will be firing it up next weekend for it's maiden voyage. Like any other pit, I will have to learn how it reacts, but I'm pretty confident, after doing this burn in, that it's going to be a piece of cake. Stay tuned brother!
Ready for a updated video of your fire management since you have learned your pit. I'm still learning. Mostly all things you can do with the plates. Makes for a versatile, efficient machine.
+Darrell Bilbrey I will be doing many more videos using my LSG offset, but currently I’m focusing on my new LSG Insulated Mini, but it’s coming soon
Haha. I already love it and thanks for the tip. I will be seasoning her tomorrow. Work always getting in the way of my fun.
I am looking to purchase this exact smoker. Hopefully before next smoking season. Awesome review. Now I have to go search for your next video.
Russ. Thank you for the video. After watching a bunch of your videos I ended up ordering the same exact one with the offroad package and some other accessories. I started looking for reviews on another competitor but thankfully came across your channel. I will definitely be keeping you on my TH-cam list. Question, how has the pit been holding up since then? And have you discovered any other benefits or downfalls since then?
Pit is holding up fantastic! I’ve got a new video coming out soon showing a couple of things I’ve added. No downfalls at all. Love it as much as I ever have
That smoker is just awesome Rus, great thoughts went into it and like you said, will last forever.
+Food Porn Network Thanks Gary! Yes sir, one well built smoker!
My new 20x42 just arrived Friday! Thanks again for pointing me to LSG. I've even started a new BBQ channel to chronicle this new cooker! Thanks for your great videos.
I'm curious, how is your paint holding up? Did the seasoning process work out like it was supposed to? I'll be doing mine next weekend. Thanks Rus!
Congrats Rus! Welcome to the LSG family. I still gaze at my vertical offset every time I'm in the backyard going on 3 years now. Top notch smokers. What's on tap for the weekend on it?
+slcsak Thank you! I love it! I'm going to put it through its paces next weekend with a combination of things. Stay tuned 👍
Congratulations! That's a great looking smoker I've been watching their channel and all the different roles they make for a long time dreaming about owning one enjoy
Thanks Paul! I hope you can get yourself one. Super nice smokers!
I love stick burners they're my favorite for taste. Looks like an awesome rig can't wait to hear about its performance .
I'm really happy to have this! Can't wait to fire it up again, but with meat on it next go around ;)
Great looking grill Rob. Congratulations. I've been away for a week so I can luckily pop over and watch your first cook with it.
Thanks T.C.! She is a beast, and I'm loving it!
Very nice pit. Congratulations. That steel box for charcoal snake method should do very well for long cooks!
Will you be doing a review on a Shirley Fabrication and/or a Lang Pit?
I know you mentioned that it’s a 1/4 inch fire box. Would you recommend staying with the 1/4 inch or the 1/2 inch fire box? And why?
Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
1/4” is all I need down here but if you live in a cold climate I would recommend the 1/2” or the insulated fire box. If you live in the Southern states, the 1/4” is all you will ever need
A great "review" video, Rus. You hit all of the important pointsand the "how to's" as well. Can't wait to see this bad rabbit in action!
+SmokeyGoodness Thanks Dan! I can't wait to cook on it!
In-laws are in Katy, TX (west side of Houston). Going down there in a couple of months, may need to make a side trip to see these guys. Good video and can't wait to see what good stuff you throw on your new grill! Smoke ya ribs Russ!
+Ben Bir Thanks and yes check out their work. They do great work on their line of smokers and other products
Hey russ when I worked offshore many many moons ago ppl used to make grills out of pipe for offshore use. 3/4 in., Rebar and flexible grating I think it's called. the grate with the diamond shaped holes like in your grills charcoal basket and the shelf you spoke about. Anyways they were like bad to the bone so I know this is awesome. Steel is a great holder of heat i guess is how I wanna say it. It distributes it holds it very evenly.
+docoluv9 Man yeah this smoker is a beast! It's heavy but that's why it's a great smoker
Rus I just ordered a 24”x 36”. I am just wondering if there is plenty of room in it compared to a GMG Jim Bowie that I have. How big of suckling pig do you think it will hold? Thanks for all the videos keep up the good work !
I don’t know the dimensions on your Jim Bowie but the lower grate is basically 24” x 36”. I would think plenty of room for a suckling pig
Outstanding review Rus. The quality looks fantastic. Made in the USA too!
Thank you, and yes, outstanding quality and USA built for sure :)
I'm in gautier ms... I myself already hav a 14.5 Weber Smokey Mountain ( WSM ) , 2 - 22" WEBER KETTLE GRILLS & 1 22" WEBER PERFORMER DELUXE GRILL with the table... I thought bout Lang & Yoder Smokers ; but after seeing yours on here ; I'm liking what I see
I pass through Gautier everyday on my way to work. I have other smokers and grills, but these Lonestar Grillz really put a smile on my face when I get ready to fire them up. Very much worth looking into. There is a waiting period after ordering one because of the backlog of orders but very well worth the wait. If your on Facebook, check out this Lonestar Grillz Owners group. People in that group can tell you first hand about these smokers and the great build quality not to mention how well they perform. facebook.com/groups/551380464971244/
That smoker looks to be built like a tank. I was admiring the welds, after you pointed them out. I work in the auto industry and would be very happy to see those welds on our products; either hand-welded or by robot! What will you cook to christen it? It appears to be large enough to do a half-grown whole hog, if you wanted to.
It is built to take it and to last! I love it! Doing a mixture of things on the pit this weekend. Stay tuned ;)
Awesome cooker! What’s the temp difference between the top and bottom grate? Thanks, Hank
Top runs about 10 to 15°F hotter
That was a very good review. Thanks. I like the griddle/grill combo on the firebox. That's a neat design. Looking forward to seeing your break in cook.
Thanks, and yes that griddle/grill is a great touch to this smoker. I will show using both of them at some point
Hey Rus I love your videos. I build and sell my own grills, I noticed you had a little trouble moving your tuning plates, I know it's not from bad design move it from the middle not the end, it'll work much easier. You may know this by now. Love your videos, keep up the great work my friend
I was not trying to adjust them on video, only showing that they can be adjusted by moving them around a bit. It only makes since to start with the middle and not the end since the other plates would be in the way. Thanks for watching.
Congrats on one sweet looking grillz. No doubt you'll be turning out some great Q. Do u plan on covering that stack of wood to keep the rain off?. From what I've seen/read, the best smoke flavor comes from dry logs that ignite quickly rather than initially smoldering too long.
Thanks I appreciate it! I have a tarp I cover the wood with, when it is a chance of rain. Matter of fact it is covered right now :)
wow looks amazing
the clean wellding
the massive build of the smoker
i only have a UDS like your PitBarrel Cooker as smoker
but a smoker like this would be perfekt
I love it Christian! This smoker is a work of art and built tough! I can't imagine using any other smoker now that I have this here. :)
Nice use of the drone camera Rus! That smoker looks amazing, I love that charcoal basket.
Thanks Tom! Yeah, the drone took a trip to Texas too ;)
I'm beyond jealous Rus! I can't wait to see your videos featuring this beauty.
Lots of videos coming your waty Michael and thanks for checking this one out! I appreciate it!
man that thing is a beast. can't wait for your first cook on it Rus!!
It sure is Nate! I'm looking forward to it's first cook as well. Just hoping for some good weather this weekend :)
I love my Mini Insulated Smoker from Lone Star Grillz! Great video!
+Sean Murray Thanks, I appreciate it! Can't go wrong with LSG
Almost makes me want to move to the States...almost.
Can't wait to see the first cook, great work again Rus :)
+James Gray First cook coming this weekend so stay tuned. Thanks for watching
Awesome Choice of BBQ Pit!!!! My smoker has the same location for the smoke stack. Great review !!! Excited to see cooks stoked on new bbq pits!!! Texas #1 BBQ PITS!!!!
+Cookin with Surfin Sapo Thanks Sapo! I'm super stoked about this new smoker! Used it yesterday for its first cook and it did great!
If you put your coals and logs all the way to the side walls on the back 1/2 of the firebox. You can preheat and dry your next logs to burn on the front of the fire box. Burns cleaner. But you probably know that. Great video. What's the msrp on this baby???
I've actually got another way that I will be doing the logs when I actually have meat in the pit, but yes, that's a great method for getting them hot and thanks! Their website has a sale price of $1,850 or it did last time I looked.
Great video Rus. Good luck with the new smoker.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Excellent smoker and a great tip for getting it off of the truck!
Thanks 👍
Great video Rus also a nice smoker. Do you prefer the offset over a reverse flow? And why?
Thanks Kevin! I prefer a offset because with the tuning plates, you have more options for controlling pit temps. If I want a hotter side, and a cooler side I can do it, if I want the same temp across the smoker, I can do it, but with a reverse flow, there is a permanent welded in plate that gives you the same temperature across the smoker, so you have to work with that, and no way for adjusting if you wanted to. I guess it comes down to personal preference but I always go with more choices.
Russ, that makes a lot of since. I have never had an offset with turning plates. The only ones I have had are pull behind offsets and had a solid piece of steel that stop at a certain point and that was always the hot spot. I could never put meat there or next to fire box cause it was too hot so left small area to put meat for even smoke.
Thank you so much for your input and helping the smoking world. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Keep up the good work and maybe we will meet one day.
Thank you so much for the helpful review! About how often do you have to add splits to this smoker? And do you add one or two at a time? Trying to figure out if this large of a grill would be overkill for me. Thanks!
I get the pit up to temperature with 2 splits, and then add a split around every hour to maintain temperature. That is on this pit. Cheaper and thinner walled offsets are not as efficient and can go through more wood. I'm still super happy with mine.
@@SmokyRibsBBQ You're awesome, thanks so much!
can't wait to see you cook on it
I can't wait either, lol :D
Gotta get one of these Grillz soon as I get out of the hospital. Thanks Rus
Get well soon Harold! I know you are more than ready to! You will love this pit!
That looks like a really nice smoker. I will be so nice to see someone using a stick burner, kinda tired of seeing pellet smokers and eggs.
It's a beast of a smoker for sure, and this is about as close as you can come to traditional BBQ cooked over real wood, and I'm really looking forward to making these videos with it! Lot's more to come!
+Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine Good deal I'm really looking forward to seeing this smoker in action.
Good review Rus, that thing is a beast.
+TheHollarBBQ Thanks, and it sure is! 👍
Great video! I'm definitely gonna check these guys out - beautiful craftsmanship!
Good to see you out there!
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Nice looking rig, Russ. Can't wait for your first cook. By the way tried the huli huli chicken on my pit barrel. It was fantastic. Thanks.
Thanks Brian! Glad you enjoyed the Huli huli chicken recipe. We love it as well :)
Great choice for a stick burner!
Man Rus that is a SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET A$$ GRILL!! Congratulations brother!!!
Thank you Larry! Brother, I am totally excited about this new smoker!
Great review! I'm thinking about getting that same cooker. How long did it take to get after you ordered it?
Thanks! You can't go wrong with this cooker and worth the wait. You can contact Chris with Lonestar Grillz, and he can give you the lead time on getting it built. I'm sure it changes week to week depending on demand and time of the year
I ordered one an hour after seeing your video. It was on my radar for awhile along with Shirley Fabrication. I hope your cook includes a brisket.......
Smoky Ribs, I'm a new subscriber and have been watching your videos on this smoker. It is really a gorgeous BBQing machine. In your opinion, how does this unit compare to a Yoder Smoker like the Loaded Witchita for instance?
Nice job on this video and the others I've watched.
First I want to say thanks for subscribing! I absolutely love this Lonestar Grillz offset! I've owned other offsets in the past and there is no comparison. I've never owned a Yoder Smoker, but I have watched many videos where people are using them. I personally prefer the really huge fire box design I have on mine compared to the pipe fire boxes. I haven't burnt any paint off, because this smoker runs great once started with just one small split log at a time, and the fire never comes in contact with the sides like it would in a pipe fire box, plus it has a good size grill grate and griddle at the top of the firebox which is really handy. Lonestar Grillz prides their self in having the tightest fitting lids of any smoker out there, and I've seen it first hand watching other videos, and comparing them to the very little smoke loss I encounter. A friend has a competition Yoder Kingman and he leaks really bad around the chamber door. Shouldn't be that way for what they cost. I'm not downing any other smoker company, but I will say that I'm very very happy with what I have and will never look any further than Lonestar Grillz when it comes to top of the line, well built smokers. Can't go wrong! Maybe you should check out this FaceBook page and ask some of these guys what their opinion is as well. facebook.com/groups/551380464971244/
Real deal grill this is. The benchmark. Thanks for this review Russ.
You bet
That is one Dam fine looking smoker can't wait to see you use it and the water pan
Thanks, I love it! There is not really a water pan, but instead, the water actually goes into the bottom of the pit if you decide to use water, and I think I will on this cook coming up. It not only stops meat from drying out because of the moister it's adding to the surrounding air, but it helps out in keeping a even heat across the pit, while using the tuning plates as well, so I want to see how it goes, then I'll do a cook without water and see which I like best.
I love him! He's such a cute man and an unbelievable cook ❤ Much support Rust!!!
+Madison Harrington 😊Thank you!
He's probably a little older than I am, but I don't think he'll rust.
Russ this smoker looks so amazing. i am so jealous because I want a custom smoker built badly. I tried getting one built here in Italy but they don't know how Americans BBQ. I love 2 hours away from Texas when I visit home I was wondering how much would a smoker like this cost? I plan on getting stationed in the USA on my next tour of duty I would like to see these guys hopefully they can build me one.
When you get back to the US, I highly recommend you talk with Chris from Lonestar Grillz. They do outstanding work. Right now this same pit goes for $1,850, which in my opinion is a great price. This smoker is a beast and built to last!
love your videos.you are so skilled in the Bbq knowledge
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that, and thank you for watching my videos!
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine your welcome Russ
Can't wait to see it loaded up. Looks good.
Thanks Randy! I appreciate you stopping by and checking out the new smoker and video :)
Well, now that you have had time to cook with the pit.
Do you like it.? Was it worth the price.? Any issues.?.
Still my absolute favorite smoker! I don’t like it, I love it! No issues at all and very much worth the price!
Rus, thanks so much for sharing and educating. Very well done and informative
Hello from Texas friend, great channel. Just curious ...did you consider a reverse flow and if so why did you choose not to go with one?
+Neal Hamilton I went with a offset because I like the ability to get different temps from one end to the other, and still have the ability to have the same temp from one end to the other, if I want via tuning plates. A back flow doesn't give you those choices. It's designed to run the same temp across the smoker with no real ability to have a hotter side if you need that on some cooks. I definitely made the right decision with this Lonestar Grillz offset. Very happy with it!
That's a great smoker wish I could get one but im living in the UK great review
+Martin Billingsley Thanks, I appreciate you watching the video!
*My very best to you and the family with your new BBQ smoker can't wait for the first cookout, thumbs up brother!*
Thanks Ralphie_Boy! I appreciate that!
Hey brother, I just got my vertical offset smoker but I'm new to the art of smoking. could you make a video for beginners. how to smoke, getting the smoker up to temp, maintaining temp, not over smoking the meat etc..... I can't find any good videos plus I enjoy your videos.
I'll do something like that as soon as I can. Kinda got a line up of other things right now
Cool video and great looking grill. They really made this grill well. Thanks for sharing your video.
+Thomas Tommy Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
Hi Russ, I really enjoy your video's on the LoneStar,,, have you cooked on the Griddle yet?
+richard seals Its funny that you ask that, because I cooked on it yesterday. Video will be up tonight or tomorrow
Gawd I want one of those! I hope they ship to Canada! What specific type of wood will you use for your smoke next week?
Contact Chris at Lonestar Grillz and he can tell you about their shipping. I'll be using hickory on my next cook. I have hickory and pecan, and love them both, so it's possible I'll mix it up a little
Some day, something like this will be in my back yard. Some day!
Nice piece of equipment, Rus!!
I hope you do get one. You will not regret it I promise you. Super well built and built to last!
I have been looking at new smokers and I can’t decide do I want a lonestar or a Lang.
One hell of a nice grill can't wait for next weeks video
Thanks and yes it is! I'm still stoked over it! Thanks for watching!
that is a beautiful grill, can wait to see you use it
Thanks Jimmy! I thank you for checking it out brother! I can't wait to fire it up again :D
