Love the forum, read a lot of posts but since I have been smokerless for a few years no reason to post.
Looking at getting a LSG vertical, a couple of questions I don’t recall seeing the answers on (I have read a lot of the thread but not all of it)
1. Has anyone had issues with large briskets not fitting on the rack for the mini? Based on YouTube videos and not seeing comments on this thread, I think it would take an absolute freak sized brisket to not fit but want to make sure.
2. With water in the pan, does food on the bottom most rack cook noticeably differently than food on upper racks? It sounds like the temperature is pretty consistent but curious if the humidity is higher and things cook quicker closer to the water. Also wonder if the smoke pattern is different on the bottom shelf since it wraps around the sides?
3. Is it almost impossible to move a mini or large over grass unless you have the off-road package. You need concrete or pavers, is OSB strong enough?
4. Is it safe to transport on a trailer if you don’t have the off-road package?
The wife has given me some dirty looks but ultimately acquiesced to a top end smoker, so I think it is either the mini off road or the large, but not the large off road. I honestly doubt I will have cause to move it or have cooks for 20+ people with any degree of frequency. But I’m trying to decide on mobility vs size since I probably won’t wind up with both.
Thanks
