Great review! I also have the same pit and love it. I got the main chamber fire basket and it opens up so many options for 1 pit. I got rid of my Weber grills because the LSG checked so many boxes.. smoking, grilling, flat top, I reversed sear steaks. Smoke steaks first then I remove the flat top and put steak over fire to finish, game changer 😁
We just got ours 2 weeks ago. I fought with other offsets for years, including a nice 1/4" on, but it had the baffles and it was a constant fight. The Lone Star Grilz 20 x 36 is the easiest to operate offset I've ever tried.
I have the exact same smoker, got last Dec. I live in Canada so shipping and exchange was a little more pricey. But I agree 100% this smoker is a dream! Also I often use as a water smoker by filling chamber in bottle with a couple gallons of water - adds humidity and stabilizes temps better Thanks for the tip on damper on smoke stack, I always keep wide open, but I’ll try halfway to stabilize lower temps Great vid! Keep ‘em coming Paul Vancouver, BC
I got the 20x42...love it I agree I recently figured out the closing the exhaust help my temperature...I was always running hotter than I wanted til I figured that out...and same issue here with gasket...but a fantastic pitt
Nice review of your Lonestar Grillz Offset, Scott. I’ve been using my LSG for 5 ½ years now, and everything you talk about is spot on. I agree the fires/temps are easier to manage on the larger pits. I’ve been smoking small animals a long time (40+yrs) and I find the Lone Star Grillz the easiest pit I have ever used. I’d buy another one without reservation… but I already have one… so I doubt I’ll ever need to… Cheers from Houston! 🍻🍻🍻 (new sub here)
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I don’t need another LSG smoker either, but I have my eye on a couple of the new models. 😂 Houston has some great bbq, I was just there a few weeks back!
i Been using an offset for as long as they be around. i won 3 grand championships using an old brinkmann offset . i really can not see spending thousands of dollars on 1 for the back yard. they look nice and all. love the review thou nice job..
Dear Santa... Are you noticing me drooling out here? Do I have to wait 'till December or can you have a special delivery ready sooner?..... Well, I can dream, right? Great review, Scott.
I have the same 20x36 here in a neighboring state from you. Having only cooked 2 so far, I am struggling with my briskets being overcooked on the bottom even though I am doing a much better job of maintaining and managing the fire temp than ever before on my old smoker. Been trying to figure out what it is I am doing. Have you seen that as an issue? I run mine fat side up, Point toward the fire box. The fat cap will render nicely, the point will not be overcooked, but the bottom of the flat will be over coocked ruining the tenderness. Still tastes great though.
There are a couple places in Phoenix that sell wood, quite a bit of pecan, mesquite, and oak wood. $100 will get me a decent amount. I have ordered some online, but that get expensive.
Hi my name is Dave Przybylski I live in Scottsdale. Is it possible that I could meet with you to discuss your LSG. I recently got my 42” pellet smoker but wasn’t to get an offset
I half agree. Length is good. Could go skinnier. Or let the smoker go down to a lower temperature. Then put the wood you have in. It is totally ok to fluctuate the temperature high and low then the attended temperature. An average of heat will work fine. Plus your dry location might add to high temps. The wood might also be a little dry from your dryer location as well, awesome video. I do have the 42" X 20" LSG offset smoker. This is an awesome smoker. Easy to use. I learned to start my heat low and raise the temp. As the cook goes on. Seems to work for me. Getting a good smoke flavor but also rendering the fat with the higher late temperatures. Stay smokey my friend.

It’s pretty awesome! I’ll have to check out that charcoal basket to turn it into a regular charcoal grill. 👌 thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting, Paul! Glad to hear you like the LSG as well. 👍
I’m looking at getting one in Ontario. Did you have it shipped to your door or somewhere at the border and went and picked it up?
I got the 20x42...love it

Agreed. Super awesome smoker. 👌

I would suggest cooking it fat side down. I have only done a few briskets on the LSG, however all were fat side down with no issues. Good luck! 👌
Nice vid! Where did you get those sweeeeeeet storage sheds behind you?
Ace Hardware or Home Depot has them. They have been a great addition to the outdoor area.
Curious on why you didn’t put the water in the bottom of the main chamber? They advertise for that.
I like the simplicity of having a small water pay by the fire box, blocks some of the heat and super easy to clean.
I’m in AZ also! Just got mine last Friday!
Nice! Where in AZ? Which LSG did you get?
@@SmokedMidwestBBQ I got the 42” pellet smoker… I’m in San Tan Valley. You’re helping me make the jump to get the cover lol 😆
Haha in my operation it’s worth it so the AZ sun doesn’t toast it. Congrats on the new smoker, the 42” pellet smoker looks awesome!
Go Big Red!!
GBR!!
You have more of a grill addiction then me.
Ha it’s an addiction for sure.
where do you get wood for an offset in Arizona and how expensive is that wood?
There are a couple places in Phoenix that sell wood, quite a bit of pecan, mesquite, and oak wood. $100 will get me a decent amount. I have ordered some online, but that get expensive.
Do you feel this smoker is thick enough to last over 10-15 years with good care
Yes, it’s built to last a lifetime.
Hi my name is Dave Przybylski I live in Scottsdale.
Is it possible that I could meet with you to discuss your LSG.
I recently got my 42” pellet smoker but wasn’t to get an offset
Thanks for reaching out, David. Send me a contact request through my website and we can get in touch from there. 👍
If I buy one of these, will it hit its published max temps 10 years from now?
That would be an excellent question for LSG. I’m assuming you are taking about a pellet smoker?
Please reach out
GBR!!!!
GBR 👊
I know what a damper is, but what is a dampener?
Your wood is too big.
That’s what she said.
