I have a Backwoods Smoker Fat Boy and a LSG insulated smoker. The LSG is better built with thicker (11 Gauge) steel.

I have no experience with gravity fed smokers.

Backwoods Smokers had the original patent on reverse flow, but I think it has expired. The Pitmaker Vault and Safe are also reverse flow.

Congrats! The wait was a killer for me.

If you are going to get a cover for it, they have long lead times as well.

Post pics when you get it, you may be the first to order one...

Wish I had the sack to pull the trigger on a quality vertical cabinet. I just can't decide on which one because the Benjamins involved.

Having read all 46 pages a number of times I want to thank everyone for the input. I ordered my LSG vertical in Nov. and it was mainly based on the Brethren's forum. A special thanks to Mike and Cathy who took the time to answer some of my silly questions.
The ordering process was incredible with both Chris and Amber spending tons of time with me on the phone.
So now the learning curve begins and hopefully it will be made much easier by your posts.
Thank you everyone.....

I can't wait to see the mini in real life. Thanks for the picture of the diverters whomever sent it. One piece, nice. Any noticeable differences in how it works with the diverters?

Do any of your haul your cabinets around? How do you do it?

I saw the one trailer-mounted on Facebook, but that's not really what I'm looking for. I don't have anywhere to keep an enclosed trailer, but it would be nice to get a cabinet out of the back yard.

I keep hemming and hawing, going back and forth between a LSG insulated cabinet and a trailer offset. The cabinet would be better by far for home cooking, but I'd like to get into cooking parties, charity events, and maybe comps, so I just can't decide what would better suit my needs. I have experience with charcoal and stick burners and like them both, so that's not a deciding factor for me.

I think you would need some bigger tires not casters to even attempt to roll it around the yard. Casters are only for smooth surfaces. Mine weighs half of the LSG and there is no way I could get it thru my yard. I know some use plywood or boards and roll it thru the yard.

I was going to mount mine( when it gets here) on a trailer but looking ay myron mixon smokers I'm going to have a set up like that but use pneumatic tires. Then roll it on a trailer when I need to haul it.
