They put out fairly recently on their Instagram they have no plans in the works for a backyard model. I thought the plan was for you to get a Shirley vertical?

Yet another vote for Johnson Smokers. Chad is a great guy and is so easy to work with. I haven't had a ton of offsets, but so far of all I've had my Johnson Smoker (Ultimate Chargrill Trailer) was easily the best of the lot. It held temps very well, and that cook chamber was extremely even. The top racks were about 15 degrees hotter than the bottom racks, but they were still dead even across the entire 60" of cooking space.

The double stacks work very well and it's so that smoke and heat are pulled evenly across the top and bottom racks. The removable and adjustable baffle pipe he uses is also super convenient and works shockingly well. It made cleaning the pit super easy and I was really shocked at how even the whole cooking surface was once I dialed things in. I also love his firebox design as it has large vents on both sides so you can get a good amount of air regardless of high winds / crosswinds.

During a hurricane a few years back in North Carolina I had that pit running almost constantly for 4 days. I was cooking for roughly 50 of the power grid workers who had pre-staged at a hotel on the Marine Corps base. These guys would go out all day and work on the power lines to get power back up and running, and each night I'd feed them some awesome BBQ. I had a propane smoker I was trying to use as well but it just wouldn't work in those high winds. My Johnson Smoker just flat out works and works well....it's also pretty easy on the eyes. I did sell it about 2 years ago though because my business had taken off and I outgrew it.

I've since moved to Texas and moved away from BBQ as a business. Once I get a house another Johnson Smoker will be my first purchase.

I'm not a fan of the tuning plates the 24" LSG's use and I originally wanted a 24" but leveled with myself that it was more smoker than I needed.

As mentioned I really, really like my LSG and have zero desire to replace it but if I was looking again today I would have to look very hard at an Outlaw Smokers Patio

We always forget Jambo. Pretty reasonable $2800-$3500. We know you love your golf cart wheels and SS shelf.

The Jambo is certainly a good pit but, to me, the small doors are a turn-off. Personally, I prefer a single door or single door with a counterweight unless we are looking at really large pits.

There are a lot of independent pit builders that can certainly make a classic or rustic pit that will work well.

At this point, I guess the question is what do you really want? Specific looks? A specific size? To promote an overlooked independent builder?

The Millscale 94-gallon model might be a good fit for you. Or a Primitive Pits "Babe".

With your experience and where you live, you probably know at least a half dozen relatively local builders that would custom build a great pit for you.

At this point, it might be worth trying something different like a gravity-fed smoker for a new and unique experience.

Looking at the LSG 20x42 really hard, along with Johnson and JJ reverse flows. Those 20s have a lot of room on them, and with the flow system they have on it you get to use it all pretty much, from what I've gathered.

I checked out those backyard models by Fatstack....they look great, and the price is great, but holy hell the wait time. They're talking MAYBE by the end of 2022, but more likely sometime in 2023.

This is accurate. I move things a few inches away from the firebox side but yes, for the most part the whole grate is usable.

Only regret I have...I wish I would have spent the extra $100 for the 42 inch.
Not that I have ran into space constraints with the the 36" its just the extra real estate would be nice.

Yah, I've already decided that if I go with LSG, though I'll rarely need that extra 6" in space, I'll go ahead and fork over the extra $100 for it. Not a bad deal.

I was looking at the 36 too and noticed only a $100 more i am going that route .
