The smoker was packed on Monday. It took until late Thursday afternoon to show up somewhere in Arkansas, and late this afternoon (Friday) finally to Rockford, IL. Four days to complete a 16-hour drive. No chance I see this thing before middle of next week.
Probably for the better. I have a big paper due next Friday and the last thing I need is my new toy showing up when I have to choose between firing it up or passing my class. :roll:

Damn nice turnaround on that.
How long have you been working for LSG???:laugh:

Planning to do one better.....video review! Ordered a tripod and hoping to turn this into a small series of short review videos on YouTube. Won't be fancy, but will try to cover all the bases that guys on here would want to see up close.

The thing FINALLY left Bolingbrook, Illinois tonight. Really getting frustrated with the freight company. It sat in TX for almost two days after loading, took the rest of last week just to make it to IL, then sat in IL all weekend and only got dispatched at 10 PM tonight. Next it says it's going to Hudson, WI. If they do another two day truck switch there I'm going to have a hard time keeping my grey matter under 104 degrees.

Ain't you got a Paper to be Writing or a Big Test to Study For..........? Just have your wife hypnotize you and forget you ever ordered a Smoker and then she can surprise you with it after the freight companies get Done cooking on it......

I have both, actually
But that does NOT mean I don't have an hour to relax on the BBQ forum each evening and belly ache!!!I mean, who cares if I can cook on her this week or not.....but I still want to be able to walk out to the garage and drool. Besides, the sooner I get her, the sooner you guys get some review vids. :thumb:

LSG 20 X 36 Smoker
I ordered a new 20 X 36 LSG offset May 16 and it is supposed to be ready this week. That is close to 4 weeks from order to finish. I did tell them I was in no hurry though.
Luckily I live about 1 1/2 hour drive from LSG so I am hoping a trip to pick it up is in the plans for this weekend!
Excited to get it and try it out.

I ordered the same model on the same day but I placed my order around 3pm Central. I was given a lead time of 3 weeks. Mine was finished yesterday so it took 25 days. I also had a custom graphic added so that may have added a few days to the job. I’m hoping to receive the tracking info tomorrow.

When that thing ships, it goes LTL (Less Than Truckload). The truck is picking up and dropping off other items, making stops and waiting for those along the way. Theres probably someone out there who had something on the truck before yours was picked up and they wont get it til after you received yours. Thats just the way trucking works.

Dang, I was hoping to receive mine in CA before the 4th of July but now I’m having doubts considering that it hasn’t even left LSG in TX yet.

Roadrunner. I found out after it was too late that they are known for being the cheapest, but also the slowest. I can't complain too much....I'd have stuck with them anyways to get it shipped as cheaply as possible. But next time I'm at least asking who the next cheapest is!

You're right, it's precisely how it's worked. There have been three separate two-day segments when my stuff hasn't moved at all. It would be super helpful if companies gave you an idea of what to expect rather than just saying "It's on its way!" For guys who know nothing about how trucking works, and live less than a 20-hour drive from the smoker fabricator, that sounds like, "It'll be there in a few days!" I would have thought that one 5-day work week was plenty to go that distance. Eight days and counting for a 1,200 mile trip is not at all what I'd have expected. I understand now that my expectations were not realistic to begin with, but that's why it would help for the smoker company or freight company to help frame expectations rather than giving no indication whatsoever of timing.

Congrats! Mine is scheduled to be be delivered on Friday. In fairness, I want to say they offered to deliver it Thursday but I could not be home in their delivery window. So, all in all, the delivery from Texas to Minnesota came in at ten days from pickup at LSG to drop off at my home.
