Lone Star Grillz Vertical Insulated Cabinet Smoker-For the new Owner - Page 86

Yeah, they are very different and the weight was actually my concern. I'm going to have to rent something (at least in the short term) to transport the Lonestar and I was just wondering what the logistics of that would be and if anyone else is doing it.

I'm 99% sold on the Lonestar though.

We take our LSG to several comps a year. I made 2x10 ramps to push it up into a trailer. It takes 2 or 3 of us to load it.

Just picked my mini up from the freight company yesterday. Rented a u haul 12 X 6 foot trailer with double axles and a ramp for 35 dollars (24 hour rental) and it worked very well.

One thing I learned last week: you can't easily rearrange the casters since the mounting plates are rectangular, not square. We want to have the spinners on the front, that way we can push it onto a small trailer, and not take off at competitions. Keep that in mind when ordering.

Welcome to the longest two weeks of your life... I know, I did it twice...

For anyone interested, I just found 10" wheels both fixed an swivel. The swivels have brakes an optional swivel locks. They will substitute the pneumatic tires with 10" x 3" no-flat tires. Full set with th optional swivel locks and shipping to LSG was $170.

I corroborate this statement.

MrkMllr · 04-29-2016, 07:58 PM

Welp, I went and did it. Let the long wait begin.

You can put swivels on all 4 corners with swivel locks the swivel can be locked at each 90 degree position so effectively the locked swivels can be locked front to back or side to side.

Kkegans..I want those wheels.......I am going to call Amber monday, but I think it is probably too late.

THoey1963 · 04-30-2016, 12:35 AM

If you are going to move it often, look up my posts and get the no flat 10" rubber tires. Don't have breaks, but you can chalk them.

I finally figured out a way to mount my guru to this beast. I wanted to keep it on the same side as the fan but didn't want anything on the paint. I used a 1 1/4 to 1 inch bushing and them 1 inch black iron pipe to make it. The most expensive part was the $8 flange. I could have welded something on to save money, but the guru holder bolts into it easily.
