Custom Mods for Offset Smoker

[Backyard BBQer]

Howdy y'all. I'm a long time reader, but first time poster. I am about to purchase a new offset smoker from Lone Star Grillz, and nd wanted to get some ideas from everybody for cool mods, customizations, and optional features. I'm already getting a 1/2 firebox with grill top, gas log lighter, guru port, probe holes, and tool hooks. But I'm sure there are a lot of other cool mods that I'm not even thinking of. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Wagon style with steering and all terrain tires with mag wheels.

They offer custom metal work, have you looked at all the cool logos and whatnot? Seems like you are already getting the kitchen sink :wink:

I've seen the wagon wheels and mags on some Lang pits. Pretty sweet!

LSG has a page that lists all of their traditionally offered mods. I loved the fold up SS table when I had mine. I am not sure if you can go off board and ask for wagon wheels or something else truly exotic. I am sure that Chris can do anything that you want (within reason). All you have to do is dream it up and ask him...

That's exactly my problem!!! I'm out of ideas!!! I'd love a little cover on the stack like Lang and Gator. That would be great in the rain. Also thinking about having them make a convection plate instead of tuning plates. HELP!!!

I love the wheels and the cap on the stack... Looks like that is a cup to keeps securely closed. COOL!

Maybe a Peace Sign too.......

What's that little stainless nipple on the vertical?

Probe ports

Needs a gun rack....and cup holders

Custom metal art. I couldn't make up my mind what so I didn't on mine. Had to have been something special or mean something.

Bottle opener

 

[Backyard BBQer]

Ha ha. But seriously tho, any ideas that make the cooker more useful or the cooking go smoother? I actually like the pneumatic tire idea because it will make rolling the rig into the yard a lot easier.

I just saw holders for the fire poker and ash rake on the Gator Pits website. That's sweet!

 

[ssv3]

Had Chris hook it up for me as well

Some of mods I did to help you

Ash tools rack ^^^

Beer bottle opener ^^^

Guru ports

Probe ports

Stay cool stainless handles on the smoke stack rods (more for looks)

Pull handle

Extra sausage hangers in the oven

Pull out ash tray

Charcoal basket

Folding/Collapsible front table

Drain valve

Extra Tel Tru for the main chamber




I thinks that's it :becky:

If you a going to move it around, a way to adjust level like a trailer nose jack.

Probe ports for sure. I will love my gas asset log lighter, but if you have a propane weed burner, you can skip that option.

Ask Chris for a couple of bolts that you can use to prop up the stack cover(s) so you can smoke when there is light rain.

Love these ideas! I just saw a swivel propane tank holder for the gas assist. That's pretty cool.
