I really like the look of this one... for the price it seems like they include a bunch more (more space for sure) than some other comparable cabinets.

Do you have the 8" wheels? As far as add ons anything you see is a must? I would think at least an extra rack placement at the top and grate.

I don't know why you wouldn't consider a GF, it seems it would be the perfect cold weather solution. Assassin Smokers and Grills in Macon GA by far the best bang for your buck. Look at thier Grill/smokers also 36" all the way up to 72" with insulated doors, they are really good at grilling and smoking (with the V-pan). If you want a stick burner Bubba Grills in Haddock GA builds a great reverse flow, don't think they have but a 6-8 week wait.

I had the 8" wheels on the stick burner i bought from them. Work great if you are rolling across concrete. For my cabinet, I bought all terrain no flat tires. Rolls better over hard ground, but will still sink into soft soil and you'll need to use boards to roll across:

I added the folding table to mine, but that was before they came out with the cart version of it. If I had the choice now, I'd get the cart for the table top and the storage underneath.

I paid for two ball valves, but rarely open the second one.

Of course, you'll need to order a bottle opener and have it sent to Chris so he can install it for you.

As for grates, I had an extra slide put in near the top. I only use it when I want to take one grate out of the way.

Here is everything I ordered from Chris:

Insulated Vertical Smoker
Stainless steel side folding table 24"x 20"
Stainless steel handle
Tie down rings
Insulated smoker T-plates
Heat diverter plate
Brass Ball valve 2"

I believe the diverter plate comes standard now. I bought the T-Plates for the firebox (they are supposed to help guide the fire through the firebox), I seasoned them up, put them in a trash bag, and stored them in the garage. I have never used them. A couple months back, I had a buddy weld up a form that works great for me. Image below.

Pulled the trigger on a large LSG cabinet on the comp cart after much research. I guess it just spoke to me. Thanks you all for the suggestions...now the waiting game!
