LSG Vault
I have a 2 month old LSG Vault with the BBQ Guru. Guru has 6ft leads and the 25CFM. Vault has the 4 d-rings. I have it for sale for 2600.
I love the vault, it is a work horse, I have used it in a comp and ended up 4th overall out of 27. It was really the first time I cooked on it. It has 3 cooks on it. I loved the fact that I would wake up at night and temp was holding at 226, all night long....I actually got some sleep at a comp. Im located in Central Texas if interested. Its not working with my Comp set up that I have right now. But in a couple of years when I go into custom cooking Im getting another one. Email me at [email protected] |

Chris, just some ideas for some future add on features.
Stainless steel racks I'm not sure how possible this one would be due to the weight of the item, but a kit for guys to take their casters off and mount to a trailer if they wanted to make a trailer set up in the future.

We already offer Stainless steel grates the charge is $0.26/ square inch. As of about a month ago we stopped welding on the wheels and instead blot them all on not just for the reason you mentioned but also for built in applications as well as future maintenance. Thanks Chris |

I would think you would have whoever built the trailer to make a platform/legs that you would attach the cooker where the legs bolted on by using bolts or welding on.

That's my thinking as well, but I don't always like to assume when dealing with an item of that size and weight. And some guys make trailers of their own out of common trailers that you can get from places like tractor supply or other farm implement stores.

Cleaning tips
I have been following Chris's (from lone star grillz) tips on cleaning....
I let the coals burn themselves out (not much left after 24 hour burn) and in turn dry out the water pan. I empty out the ashes, scrape the bottom (fire side) of the water pan then, scrape the inside of the water pan and rinse it out with hot water. I brush excess build up off the grates, then spray the whole pit down with Pam for storage until the next cook. The stainless is pain to keep clean :) How are you guys cleaning out your pits? Looking for faster or more efficient ways... |

I did my first comp this weekend. Smoker did great. I used 20lbs of KBB with Cherry wood for the whole 24 hours of cook time. It cooked all my meats but will need to work on my chicken. We wound up 40th overall out of 185 teams and got a 3rd in brisket. My smoker was a bear tô move with a couple people on a trailer. Wish the wheels were a bit wider. I also wish there is a door stopper. Right now the stainless has gouged into the steel corner. Any ideas. I'll have to fix the paint this weekend. But it smokes great.

Do they sell foil wide enough to line the water pan? I have mine full of foil balls and put foil over the balls. Just toss the foil when I'm done but my water pan is only 17x21. Only thing I have to clean are the grates and ash.

Guys I am so glad I came across this thread. Anticipating the arrival of my LSIS I had been looking for any type of post about my insulated vertical smoker and I couldn't find anything. Last night I was about to go to bed and I tried a different search and came across this thread. After I read through it, it glad to know that everyone has experienced the same issues I had. I was almost at the point that I had made a $$$ mistake in purchasing this smoker. I was upgrading from a baby Stumps smoker and although it wasn't a water smoker, controlling the temp was easy.
Guys this is the problem I was having. When I first got my smoker and seasoned it, I did not use my guru and it held temp well and I was able to raise it to 250-275 easily. However on my first cook, I had issues. My guru and teltru thermometer was off by 20+ degrees. I didn't know which thermometer to believe. Not until I bought a oven thermometer to place on my grates was I convinced that the guru was off. I am running my guru with with a 10cfm fan. I see that you guys was having no issues with the guru. Why was I having issues? I went through 20lbs of charcoal quickly and my guru was constantly stoking. I have so much to talk about and I don't want to be all over the place so let's start with this post. Guys I am happy to have found you!20140621_164607 (1).jpg 20140621_164645.jpg 20140615_183829_Richtone(HDR).jpg 20140625_112812.jpg |

GGEE6688, This is exaclty how I was going to run my smoker. After I clean my water pan again where I can put water in it and it's clear water, I was going to put either heavy duty foil in the bottom and pan on top to catch the dripping and if I need moisture, I would put a water pan on one of the shelves. I haven't gotten a cover made for my smoker yet and I have about 3 different ss cleaners and I have yet to find one I really like. I find myself having OCD always wanting to keeps my doors clean. I went out of town this weekend and my tarp came off and now I have I guess water stains that I can't get off the door. |

I have food stains on my doors. My smoker is garage and my cars are outside. Wife was making fun of me cause the smoker was out in the rain at the competition yesterday.

Are your stains permanent? I asked Chris if my door could be painted a solid color like on my stumps. If the door ever becomes unsightly, I may look into getting the entire smoker painted.
