Anyone by chance have experience with these LSG cabinets in comparison to a Humphreys cabinet? Have a Humphreys currently and I like it but I don’t LOVE it and the things I don’t like seem to be answered by the LSG cabinets... anyone here used both before by chance?

I haven't used a Humphrey's, but I almost bought one until I found LSG. Not knocking Humphrey's, but what changed my mind was the building process. These things are tanks. No doubt in my mind it will outlast me and be around for a few generations if taken care of.

Exactly my opinion as well.

Has anyone had the task to change the seal on your LSG insulated cabinet? After 4 years of use I was wondering if anyone had any trouble taking the screws out so you can take the flanch off. Did they snap or is their anything that can do to avoid this happening? I understand that I would have to replace with new screws, but I just want to make sure I get the buggers out!

Regards.

I replaced mine a while back. It wasn't too bad. I had a couple of screws that got stuck, but I finally got them. I wouldn't use power tools to remove them and make sure you have the right size of phillips head bit for the screws. The new seals are way better than the original rope gasket style. Go slow and don't strip the heads and you should be fine.

When you ordered from LSG did they send both seals or did you have to buy one for the cooking chamber and another for the fire box?

I didn't order them. Chris sent them to me when I had a handle mess up on me. It was a long strip of it that I cut in 2 pieces to fit both doors. I would think that it is enough for both doors.

I'm amazed how quick my ribs get done now in the Mini, I cooked two St. Louis cuts in little over 4 hours and that was with no wrapping. Have you guys noticed quicker cook times? I won a local neighborhood rib cook off today. Nothing more than a small trophy but it meant something for me.

Chris built my trailer right at two years ago. 24x72 main chamber pit with warming oven above the fire box. He also put an adjustable charcoal grill and large 72" enclosed storage. It was right at 3300 lbs when it was all said and done so I went ahead and added the additional axel.

Now I'm really glad I added the extra axel because I just ordered the insulated "mini" for the trailer. I love my stick burner but it will be nice to have a set and forget smoker. Lead time is estimated at 6 weeks for anyone thinking about ordering.

I've been watching this thread since I first started researching pit builders. I can tell anyone considering ordering anything from LSG that products are top of the line. I can't wait to add another fine product to my BBQ obsession.

Have a large IVS and recently got a fireboard and used it for the first time this weekend on a turkey and really enjoyed it. Now I have a few questions;
1. How does everyone have it mounted to the bracket Chris makes for it?
2. When not in use do you take it off?
3. When starting up do you open both valves?
4. Once at or close to temp how do you run your valves?

Thanks in advance!
