First comp this weekend. With the bigger wheels, I hope its easy to move in and out. I will bring some plywood in case it rains and the ground gets soft. Would be nice to have super wide tires, but I don't think it'll work with this smoker too well.
My plan to move the LSG (either one) the couple times a year that might be necessary is to rent a U-Haul cargo trailer and use a come-along to ratchet it up the ramp. I'll get LSG to build mine with D-rings to use with tie-downs.I understand I can not have my cake and ear it too I'm going to have to sacrifice mobility for an insulted smoker due to all the materials used. Although, I have noticed the LSG insulated mounted on a small jet ski trailer, that was interesting.
Quick question for you guys, how hot does the outside of the smoker get when it's running? Is it safe to touch/bump into? I'm really going back and forth between one of these and a LSG vertical offset. It's partly a question of stick burning vs. charcoal burning, but there's also the consideration that when I fire up the smoker, there tends to be a party, or at least a family or two coming over. I don't want a kid or a dog getting burned if I can help it.
For those who are using the Guru, are you using it on the Ball Valve or on the other portal? If the other non-ball valve, what adapter do you need for the Guru fan?
GGW – This is what you will need (2" Ball Valve Adapter): http://store.thebbqguru.com/weborderentry/2" Ball Valve Adaptor
I connected mine right to one of my 2 ball valves.

Chris sent me the answer. It is a 2" ball valve adapter that is needed on the non-ball valve pipe.
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
Chris if one was wanting to mount their unit on a trailer without having it built that way from you guys. How would you recommend doing it?
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.

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...
