Brand New 20" LSG Offset On Its Way As Promised - Only Ordered 13 Days Ago!

AKMIMNAK · 05-31-2018, 05:30 PM

As promised, the new 20" offset pits that LSG just redesigned and rolled out 15 days ago are coming fast off the presses.

While I'm guessing this will certainly slow down a bit once the orders start flowing in, mine was finished this afternoon (Thursday, May 31) just 13 days after ordering. The initial estimate of 1-2 weeks was spot on. They had subsequently revised that to 2-3 weeks, but that longer estimate never came to fruition.

Bottom line: I ordered the brand new 20"x42" LSG offset on Friday, May 18, and it was finished today - 13 days later. That is unheard of. The 24"x36" I was considering previously would have been done in mid-September if the 14-week timeline for those held.

I'd have been thrilled with a new smoker by the 4th of July, but it looks like I might have it by the 4th of June!

Already planning some review videos for y'all. Will keep you posted.

2 weeks just doesn't seem right, right? I think that's cheating...

I totally agree! I couldn't believe how the timing worked. I was already planning to order an LSG offset that week and resigned myself to 14+ more weeks with only my Weber 22.5 :/ Then Wednesday of that week the announcement came. 36 hours of research and decision making, and then WHAM - ordered er!

Congrats and cool! Like many other Brethren, I am very curious about this new LSG cooker. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Very cool,
Interested in how much meat you can fit in it

Congrats! Sure beats the 2+ year wait for a Shirley (no disrespect intended). That's almost Wal-Mart/Amazon fast!

Just curious is LSG using a separate production process for their new 20" design? I am anxious to see it in action.

I have no idea, this is pure conjecture: I wonder if they had a small stock of them built up prior to their release and the few of us who ordered those are getting them quick; or, perhaps they are just temporarily prioritizing them during their initial few weeks to try and get several out there so other guys can see the reviews and start ordering?

If either of those are the case, it is most likely that the speed at which these are shipping is only a short-term reality, and that once the orders start coming in at normal pace (i.e., after users realize the new models are still LSG quality) the build times will expand back out to the usual LSG lead time.

Pure speculation on my part.

If I'm wrong, and LSG is able to maintain 2-3 week lead times for these somehow, that would seem to be a massively appealing selling point for guys on the fence between LSG and another comparable brand. Almost unfair :)

Congrats! I really like the be line.
