- In this video we see the arrival of the newest addition to the Fat Es BBQ arsenal. We have a new Large Insulated Vertical Smoker from Lone Star Grillz. In this video I show you the craftsmanship and quality along with features and options selected for this pit. I also compare it to my 24x48x24 offset stick burner from LSG as well. We look at the pros and cons and see what pit is best for what situations.
We also show how we season up the smoker to get ready for its first cook and find out how much fuel this new pit uses vs how long of a cook it can give you.
Holy moly that’s an awesome pit. And yes that fuel consumption was impressive! Can’t wait to see your first cook!
Awesome video Fat E! I wanted to see everything about this IVS and you did a great job from start to finish!
Great smoker , bought one last year!! Chris is the man!!
look here bro, that's a really nice insulated cabinet smoker...I actually ordered the Large IVS last year, custom painted and I must tell you; you're gonna love it!!! The way it holds heat on a consistent basis is UNREAL
This is great news! I am definitely looking forward to more cooks.
man love how you edited this video. love all the excitement. happy for ya! enjoy!
Thank you very much Jeremy! I appreciate the positive feedback.
That's a great new LSG pit! I'm surprised, but not that surprised at how efficient it is. Enjoy!!
Great video! Keep them coming for those of us that don’t do Instagram or Facebook.
Man you are one of the reasons I went with Lonestar Grillz. I purchased a large insulated smoker from them and love it. They do an awesome job. I know you will definitely love yours. Keep pumping out them vids man.
Thank you very much and congrats!!!!
Have you tried lump coal with wood chunks
Looking forward to cooking videos on this pit. I’ve seen other channels make a few videos on this pit with great comments and then never make another video with this pit. They continue making videos with other pits they have. This is why i have hesitated pulling the trigger on this pit. I already have the same LSG stick burner you have and am on the fence for the insulated cabinet smoker.
I am sure I will be doing many video $$$$ permitting lol... I really want to load it up on my next cook.
U are awesome Fat E! Thank you for sharing this! I can't wait for ur next video!!👍😷
Thank you for the kind words! I have a brisket video coming up.
Love your channel,I would like to see more on your lone star vertical smoker thinking about buying one soon,Thanks
Love my mini but I end up switching top and bottom shelf to keep everything even no big deal. I am jealous of the cart wish I had added that to mine.
Thats impressive. I wasnt sure how I felt about this style but wow im kinda diggin it. Cant wait to see the cook man. Gunna be cheaper to run too prolly.
Love that new rig only thing I noticed was the ash pan seemed to want slide out uncontrolled when you pulled out fire box easy fix. I must say I am jealous 👍
That thing is HUGE!! lol looks awesome. I'd be a little nervous with how top heavy it is, but it looks like it runs very efficient. Great cooker.
Congrats! Excellent looking cooker. When I got my LSG I unscrewed the thermometer. Couldn't agree more. . . definitely not a 1 person job.
Haha I should have thought of that lol. I think I was just too excited and eager haha.
Dude that was awesome! Thank you for sharing.
And don’t beat yourself up about the whamo you put into the gauge.
Look on the bright side. The first chingazo is out of the way and it wasn’t that bad.
LMAO!!!
New subscriber to your channel. Fellow San Antonian here. That's an awesome smoker. I'm gonna look into getting possibly.
Awesome video and the timing is perfect..... I'm about to order the mini and I'm stoked out of my gourd. Thanks for doing this video, E! 👉💨
Oh yea congrats!
Where you been? You haven’t made a video in forever. I loved making fun of you and your lack of wherewithal on your fire and fuel level. Damn near every video oops ....... my fire went out!! Hahahahha. Keep trying buddy you’ll get it!
I do love my lonestar thow. Best smoker ever.
Man you are going to love this smoker I have the insulated mini once you figure out when to close the valve to get the temps your looking for it will be like set it and forget it until food is done you don’t have to baby sit these things I put a brisket on close door and do whatever i need to do around the house go to the store fall asleep etc the temps always hold steadily.
You are a very detailed guy & do an awesome job. 2 👍👍up
Congrats bro! Chris and the crew definitely crates their pits very well!
Oh yea almost needed to have a crate review lol...Thanks again!
@@FatEsBBQ man when I got my vertical offset, that thing was a BEAST to get out and around to my back patio. The Santa Maria grill was a lot easier though. Love LSG!!!
Could you try your insulated vertical smoker with lump coal and wood chunks. Curious to see if you can do a 12-15 hour brisket cook. Love your new smoker
Nice pit man - congrats!
Just ordered one of these today - thanks for the info!
awesome!!!!!
Nice cabinet smoker, man . First time on ur channel u got a new subscriber salutes my boy.
I'm in the process of buying a lonestar grill. I'm Torn between the cabinet vertical stick burner or the set it and forget it one. I have an old stick and looking for a major upgrade. Would love to hear your pro's and cons on each of them. I'm kind of leaning towards the mini set it and for get it one for the ease. However, would love to hear your thoughts and how the flavors compare? Any input would be much appreciated.
You have a tank there. I can’t wait to see your first cook on it. I’m new to smoking, but I’ve picked up some tips from you.
I already smoked a brisket on it. I am editing that video now. Take a look at my FB channel and you can see the results.Thanks for the kind words.
Fat E's BBQ just saw your Facebook post and man that brisket looked amazing
Great video
Love this Vortical smoker!
I'm eager to see what the temperature is from the top grate to the bottom grate' I've been holding back of buying the same one because there's hardly no videos on the cabinets. But I'm super excited you purchased one because all your videos are very informative thank you.
The temp all around held solid during the seasoning. I need to do a fully loaded cook so I can test it better.
@@FatEsBBQ Well my friend I'll be waiting on them videos 👍👍👍
Are the tires solid rubber or are they air filled? That off road package is sick....deciding between the mini or large.
Are you in SA? I just started watching and learned a few things so thanks for the videos.
How does the round bar grates compare to the expanded metal grates?
Chanklas and eye protection.....gold!!!
Lmao! That’s the only way hahaha!’
Great looking smoker, and it seems simple to use. Would you recommend this style of smoker to someone who is a beginner to the smoking game??
Can you overshoot the temp then dial it in to ease into the temp you want or do you recommend dialing everything down before it gets too the temp you're looking for?
U sound proud awesome smoker my man
Love work l like it
When you bought your large vertical insulated smoker with compilation cart off road package did it come already with that push handle. Towel rail. Or did you add it on.
new sub. love the new rig. #rollSMOKE good sir.
Nice pit...congrats. 1 question. Have you ever filled the stick burner with briquetts and use wood chunks for flavor?
Nice and long lasting pits.
What's the wait time from order to delivery?? Beautiful
After trimming the brisket and possibly separating the point and flat, it looks good for 16 briskets.
Man I'm foaming ar the mouth waiting for my two LSG units. Got the 48 inch offset and the Santa Maria Grill coming in the next 3 months
Will the top briskets drip onto the lower ones.?
Love that umbrella #GigEm!
Really have been thinking about a 24" vertical for awhile, but after seeing the efficiency of these little (big) guys I'm very intrigued
give them a call. They are great about answering questions. I have a brisket video coming up next. If you have questions let me know. Good luck!
Jruss - I was debating the 24” vertical, 24” cabinet or the Mini insulated. I ended up choosing the 24” vertical as they are more versatile than the insulated cabinets. You also get the most bang for you buck on a $/cooking sq in basis with the 24” vertical. When I went to the showroom the owner Chris mentioned he has an insulated smoker at his house, “Cuz sometimes you just want to set it & forget it”. He also said the taste on the vertical smoker is “slightly” better on the 24” vertical but added, “...we’re really splitting hairs though”. You really can’t go wrong. There’s enough videos on TH-cam to verify this. Mine will be ready late June and it can’t come fast enough. Btw, have you noticed LSG is now offering 0% 12 month financing? Just saying.
@@markstp95 sounds like I'll probably end up with my original ideas of the 24" vertical. The insulated seems to be a set and forget without opening the door much. But I like to wrap certain meat at different times and also like to do side dishes. Plus the cooking surface is much larger
SUGGESTION: Put Your Logo On Front Below Thermometer Or Put One On Fire Box....LOVE THE VERTICAL SMOKER! Can You List Vendor In Description Too....Thanks
Hey carnal I just bought my LVS and I wanted to ask you did you purchase the deflector plate and do you really think its necessary?
Very nice, new sub
New sub Fat E! I purchased a Lonestar trailer back in 2014. Chris and his wife are awesome people. Love your channel brother, what city are from?
Based out of San Antonio Texas. Thank you very much for your support.
I just placed my order today (6/22/20) with LSG. I got exactly what you got, it’s going to be a long three months of waiting. Thank you for making this video and I’ll be sure to mention you had a lot to do with my decision to go with LSG.
Awesome! Congrats! You are gonna love it. Thanks for the kind words.
And don’t forget to post pics of your cooks. Can’t wait to see em.
Ordered mine 05/01/2020 just got the e-mail (07/14/2020) that production has started.
J Woody, oh man that’s exciting news! Got me all pumped up and checking my email. Congrats man, what did you order?
@@genecoppedge5972 I ordered the Large Cabinet Smoker. 2 stainless steel handles, T Plates, heat deflector & 8” swivel wheels (all 4)......Can’t Wait !!!!!!!
Nice smoker, fantastic fuel mileage, and safe for families to be playing around when your working, sweet ! Expensive?
Mike Mexico, yup almost five grand but It can be passed down to a family member.
Nice rig!
Thanks man!
That is awesome piece of equipment. I have the 36" cabinet vertical off set by Lone Star. My wife and I are trying to get a catering business off the ground but I think TX law prohibits selling food cooked out you personal/home kitchen.
Yes it’s tough. You need to have a commercial address.
I would definitely hit up your city government sites and talk to some people. That’s what I had to do. Including talking to the health inspector. It’s not hard just tedious. Good luck!
Thanks. I will do that. I just subscribed.
Nice pit! Note to self, it would be a good idea to mention or suggest that when uncreating this beast, to cut off the post on the left side to avoid hitting the thermometer. I felt it when your eyes got big after the hit!
Better yet unscrew temp. Guage before pulling out of crate.
How is the smoke flavor on that lsg Iva?
E where did you get that pit?
Holy sh.. amazing 🤩
Nice !
I've got some recommendations for you in regards to your water pan and keeping it from Makin a mess
Sure thing I’m all ears. Looking to cook a hog that was quartered up today.
For your water pan take 4 aliluminum half pans across the bottom and fill them with water. Makes clean up easy
Just curious about the seasoning process. It sounds like you coated it with oil and then brought it up to 225 degrees. Seasoning oil does not polymerize properly lower than 350 F. Did you just skip that part on the video? I just thought I'd mention that because a lot of people fail to realize this about seasoning cast iron or carbon steel or whatever else
Do they ship to Zimbabwe, im dying to have this pit
I’m ready to come over and put it to the test.
Thank you ✌🏽🫶🏽
I have both a stick burner and an insulated cabinet from LSG. Had I known then what I know now, I would have bought the insulated cabinet and never looked back. It is so hands off and fuel efficient why use anything else.
Can you use lump charcoal vs briquettes?
You can but I have been told that since they vary in size that the burn consistency is not as good as briquettes and that they burn a bit hotter. I have not tried though.
Which model is this ?
How tall is the vertical with them gulf cart wheels?
I’ll try and get a measurement tomorrow for you. I know my garage is 70 inches high and it fits in there no problem.
nice cooker ..... but 16 briskets is a streach...... still a heck of a cooker
Very informative video fat-E. I am totally jelous!
Thank you very much, I’m telling ya if you decide to purchase you won’t regret it at all. Good luck.
Thanks, let me know when the next dinner is ready. I'm not too far from you, I live in Wimberley.
Man that is awesome! I wonder if they would ship overseas 😮
Give Lone Star Grillz a call I know they have shipped to other countries. Good luck.

Yes, I see do the shhh.
Do you have trouble holding temps? Likes and dislikes? I'm thinking this or assassin gf32
Where do you get your backing tracks at?
I am sorry for sounding like a rookie. by backing tracks do you mean my music? Wasn't sure if you meant some bbq tool or something lmao. But if you mean music, I have a paid subscription to a music data base.
Fat E's BBQ haha yeah that’s what I meant. It probably wasn’t the best term for it. Backing tracks are more live production but it was what my fingers typed out at the time I guess. Good stuff man!
Hey! Does lonestar have a waiting period for orders? I found one i want but I'm not ready to order. I was trying to find out when i should order.
I had to wait 20 weeks! But it was worth it.
I got a 24x36 offset with just about every option. So don’t be surprised if there is a wait. But just call or email Chris. Super good dude.
If I could buy something else from them I would.
@@youraveragejoe7644 awesome! Thank you
@@youraveragejoe7644 can i also ask you if you got the hot plate top for the fire box or did you go with the option to raise the charcoal grate so you can grill over the fire box?
Or can you get both options on one?
THE AVG COOK
The 24x36 comes standard with both! No need to choose. I was gonna go with the 20 box’y model but I’m so glad I didn’t. This thing sings at 275 all day. And is a Smoke ring machine.
If I did have to say 1 negative thing it’s wood hungry. The reviewers on TH-cam say every 45-60 minutes to add wood. I found it’s 30-40 minutes. Hope that helps.
@@youraveragejoe7644 thank you! That's exactly what i wanted to know but couldn't find by watching videos lol
Can you use lump charcoal in it.
I was told you can use lump charcoal, but that the
Lump doesn’t burn as consistently because of the different sizes and shapes. Briquettes are all uniform and apparently burn more efficiently.
Bro that is crazy. I have no need for a pit like that but I feel like I need it just because it's a set it and forget it. Has she gotten a name already?
Not yet I was thinking Monster lol.. Can have Beast and Monster.
Went on to their website but can’t find the smoker that you have was it a custom build
It’s there schuylerdr. If you click large IVS smoker, the you will see three options on the right. There are three rectangles with the options descriptions inside. Mine is the third option. Large IVS with competition cart and off road package. If you are looking on your phone, it’s at the bottom. Under the words “base model” you will see the other two options. “Mounted to competition cart with 8 in wheels” and the last one is “competition cart with off-road package.” Tap them and you will see the price change. Hope this helps.
Also, from the main home page you click “offset smokers and vertical smokers” then on next page click “large insulated cabinet smoker”

Fat E's BBQ thank you sir!
Planning to get the pee wee, all my friends are buying pellets smokers... guess I'm the black sheep of the bunch.
Great pit...looking for something just like it. I can't seem to find any kind of cost data for Lone Star Grillz and I won't be forward enough to ask you...but if you want to PM me or something that would work? Thank for sharing your experience.
What happened with the another smoker one you had?
I still have the Beast. I just made an addition to the Fat Es BBQ arsenal so I can do larger cooks for events.
@@FatEsBBQ nice. I trying to start selling bbq catering. Any advice?
Honestly I would suggest speaking with your city government offices. Its a pain, but you will get all the correct info and keep yourself from forgetting something important. Talk with your health inspector too. In San Antonio you have to have a commercial address for your business in order to cater to certain venues. So a trailer could suffice, but it's a huge investment. Again talk with your Health inspector so you can tell them what you want to do. like what kind of catering in detail and they can tell you exactly what you need to do to become legal. Good luck I know you will do great!
I have the "PeeWee" version of that LSGs Insulated cabinet smoker... LOVE IT... Perfect for a backyard smoker..
Chris i have the insulated mini and I love it these things will last a life time
I want one of these soooooo badly.
put that baby to work and make your family some money big guy. thanks for the vid

Viva the 2-1-0!
👍☺️
😍🙏
I got that from gator pits 🐸☕️
That’s cool. I noticed these IVS smokers are pretty popular now and a few people make them.
Fat E's BBQ no I meant the only business not family vibe
Without mentioning names lol. I know they probably don't do it intentionally, and they have some quality builds but some other businesses did scare me off lol.
For the love of Jesus I took a nap woke up and still hadnt opened the box.
Nooooo don't use that nasty pam to season your pit brother...grape seed oil or on my big pit when I built it I put a thin coat of bacon grease then cracked up the heat for a couple of hrs to season the new metal.
It’s too bad their prices are super high or so it seems. I know it’s worth it and it’s quality work but when I hear people getting free grills and doesn’t seem like genuine appreciation for the grill since it was literally free unlike you and they can just fork them out to the “influencers”
Hey PJ. Yea these pits are not cheap. It is definitely an investment. But I will say it’s one I do not regret. I can honestly say I was VERY skeptical when I was first about to make the plunge in a high quality pit. I had always used like char grillers and other pits from Academy. Though there is nothing wrong with those and you can still get a great cook out of them, I just feel my beast and now my new monster have made it that much easier for me to get a great quality cook completed along with a high volume of food. There’s less chance of error or temp problems I suppose. I went with lone star because the made me feel good and confident about my large purchase. They didn’t try and up sell everything. I felt they really wanted me to be happy with my new adventures rather than them making a quick buck. Some other companies I talked to made me feel a little insecure and gullible. Maybe it wasn’t intentional, but I felt like I needed to be an experienced pit master and know the ins and outs of competition pits when i talked to these other companies. Almost like I didn’t belong. Again I’m sure it wasn’t intentional. Even watching some of their videos I was intimidated. LSG made me feel like it was okay to be a novice and dive into the professional pit world. And now I feel I have learned so much more.
Fat E's BBQ honestly i know the pits are top notch I just hate that they give them away to people who are “Influencers” and they don’t really even use it. And there’s like 5 or 6 people I can think of who have pits they got for free but we have to sit here and spend 5k on a pit
Next time get help
Eyes open Next time
uhhh...i built my own...way better quality and steel thickness
That’s awesome!
Awesome, how muchcan i buy it for
@@buthomoyo3541 its about 700 in materials....and all sweat equity
Like your channel but the music is very annoying.
Way to long to open it up . Lost interest in watching
