What a thing of beauty...ahhhh the temptation to buy more toys. Would be great for smaller cooks...
Exactly my thought!

As long as the meat isn't actually touching the juices in the bottom of the pan, what's the difference?You know, I am still struggling with the notion of cooking in pans, even with the meats raised with grates sitting in the bottom of the pan. I need some heavy convincing

Have you ever even tried it side-by-side to see the results?
You know, I am still struggling with the notion of cooking in pans, even with the meats raised with grates sitting in the bottom of the pan. I need some heavy convincing that a 20lb brisket will get the same even bark and smoke sitting in a foil pan vs sitting directly on the cooking grates fully exposed to the elements inside the smoker. Maybe I am over-thinking this? The only cut of meat that ever sees a foil pan is pork butt after its ready to get wrapped...
Until then, I have to suffer flushing out grease from the water pan...
Ya, I can show you the smoker. Send PM and we can arrange something.
The heat deflector should not get in the way of the firebox. Perfect set of options.
Darkoozy,
Nice meeting you today and a big thank you for letting me check out your cooker.
I'll be placing my order very soon.
Since this cooker basically cooks over open coals like a UDS, will my flavor profile change a lot?
I see that most people are saying that they are cooking on the top three shelves. In one post it was stated that they don't like to cook on the lower shelf as it seem to stem the meat. I realize that I can cook with out water, but I really like the idea of the temp control. Any thoughts on this?
I am wanting to eventually buy a concession trailer & sell BBQ fill time. Is this a good choice of a smoker for that?
wow, perfect size for me. do we know the cost? what size are the racks plz?
I have read through most of this thread and am really intrigued by these smokers. I have cooked on uds and a big baby style smoker for years and am looking to go bigger. I can't seem to find much negative about the lsg smokers. I already have a guru with a 25 cfm fan, so I am set with that. My dad lives in Houston and has offered to pick it up and bring it to me in tulsa, so I wouldn't be out the freight costs there. Is there anything else that hasn't been mentioned in the thread that I should be leary about before I go forward with getting one? I know they are super heavy, but is it possible for a few guys to unload it from the bed of a pickup truck? I recently bought a huge gun safe that we where able to unload out of the bed of a truck, but it only weighed around 600 lbs. Thanks for the help.
What are you guys doing about attaching the guru stand to the smoker if you have one? My guru stand on my 2 other smokers are bolted to the shelves, so the don't fall off. I asked Chris about it and he said to set the stand on the top or on a table.
