LSG Fire management basket

Baby Back Maniac · Apr 24, 2020

I just uploaded a video about the Fire Management Basket from Lone Star Grillz if you guys want to see it in action. Cooked some ribs that turned out great...though I don't think that had anything to do with the basket. The LSG always does a great job with ribs. lol.

It's a really cool piece of kit.

This was a fun video. My wife even agreed to be a part of it. (rare)

My pleasure. I really think you'll love it.

Thanks!
A few weeks ago BBQ Freak posted a question about that fire basket on here.
Not to hi-jack, just a smaller version. For those interested.
After seeing it, I thought I'd throw a small one together out of scrap meat I have laying around. To fit my narrow cabinet. To see if it does make a difference. It worked better than I thought it would.
I should probably make a nice one. But this one, though ugly works great as is.

I bought one too. The 24" fits perfectly in my offset. Was pleasantly surprised the 24" was the same price as the 20". Can't wait to try it out.

I built something like that a long time ago.

Mine was built from a grate for a hammer mill. It was bent into a radius take followed the radius of the firebox. It didn't allow for space to pre-warm though.

They work great.

In my cart for purchase as soon as this covid thing goes bye bye and I'm back to work full time.

First things first, for sure. I think you'll love it when the time comes.

Just a quick thank you for what you do. I very much enjoy your channel.
Mrs. BBM is a good sport as well.

Anyone that owns one from LSG, what is the height from top to bottom? I can't seem to get an answer anywhere and it's not listed on their website. My firebox door is not the full height of the firebox, like I wish it was....Anyway I have a 10" opening so I am wondering if this will even fit in my rig....any help will be greatly appreciated!

From what I can tell it's about 7" tall. I don't want to post the vid from another YTuber since this is Justin's thread but J.P.BBQ has a video with measurements.

Looks like I need one for my massive LSG vertical offset. :clap2:

Oh and JPBBQ is using the 24 inch series verson so the 20 inch series should be around 4 to 5" tall. I think the 20 series should suit you well from what you're describing.

Lynn Dollar · Apr 26, 2020

I just bought one.

Would've bought from Kosmos if he was selling them, but I can't find that he is.

Trust me you made a good choice buying from LSG.

Kosmos store is about 7 miles from me, and I buy local when I can.

And he complains a lot in his vids about Oklahoma not supporting his business :-D

Lynn Dollar · Apr 27, 2020

But speaking of ............. I will have a decision about how to place this in the FB of my Old Country Brazos. LSG FB has a flat bottom, I have a round bottom.

Right now, I have fire bricks lining the bottom of the FB. Do I set this on the bricks or take out the bricks and put it on the bottom of the FB ?

Or do i put the original Old Country grate back in the FB and set the LSG basket on it ?

Or do I use a grate I made from expanded metal, and put it on that ?

I'll have to play around this to find what's best.

Baby Back Maniac · Apr 27, 2020

Ideally you would put in on the fire grate if it fits.

Side note: Kosmo is a friend of mine. He's a a fun guy to hang out with.
