Good advice! One note/consideration. I live at 7,000, where water boils at just under 199°F. Here's a great on-line boiling point calculator from ThermoWorks that even takes your current atmospheric pressure into consideration.

I had to tighten down the latch all the way to prevent any leakage. Mot leaking anymore.

My door adjustment has the latch a notch or so tighter then it was as received. I still have some room for further adjustment. I will be taking Chris's advance and oiling down the gasket too. That should probably do the tricking on that issue!
Ozick, that's an interesting note about altitude and boiling point. Thanks for sharing!

New Owners
We now have a group of 8 of us who either have or have ordered a Lone Star Grillz Insulated Vertical Smoker.
Anybody else who finds this thread and has ordered one of these smokers should leave me a private message if they are interested in joining the group and sharing ideas. Mine had the folding table installed 2 days ago and went to the paint room yesterday. Should ship next week. Can't wait.

Let me know how you get the beast out of the crate. I rolled mine out of the crate by placing some plywood on one side so the it dropped down about a half inch onto the plywood and rolled down the rest of the way to the pavement. I left the side rails up on either side of the wheels to create a track so the wheels did not creep off the 2x4's that the wheels were resting on.. You will see what I mean when your smoker arrives. Posting pictures I hope?

Mine took 10 weeks, from order being placed, to delivery in my driveway.
On another note. I have been exchanging emails with Chris, and he is being very supportive and open with advice! Top notch customer service... You just can't beat that, or over-look it!

Snippit from a email from Chris Goodlander - Remember the most important thing is patience, don't rush things, and give yourself plenty of time for prep. and have fun! Don't choke down the smoke stack until you hit your set point and don't add water if your trying to get to higher temps. If you want water with higher temps (I don’t bother when cooking over 275 because its hard to get hot and its more steam than I like) try to add it slowly and only a little at a time, in other words add a half gallon or so every hour. Back to the patience, don't make more than one adjustment or change without seeing a positive or negative result. What I mean is don’t adjust the stack then five minutes later do something else because its not working fast enough, doing too many thing at once will not let you determine a cause and effect relationship and you will be going in circles.
Chris, I thought this was worth sharing with the others, I hope that was OK?

Glad you got the cook in. I'll be cookin next weekend. I'm going without the water. I may try the water in a elevated pan. Well see. Depends on how lazy I am at 4am.

Ill have to give that a go next weekend. I'll have to do some brisket again. I really like having the grates in vertical formation. I think its gonna work out great for comps.

Mine should ship today or tomorrow. It will be exactly 10 weeks 3 days from now. Looks like you hit it about right, Mike.
