Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!
Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...
I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

Great write up, I've looked long & hard at this smoker and also a Lang, the only thing that keeps me from pulling the trigger is the $900 dollar shipping. That's a deal-breaker for me.

Yea I thought about that. I know when I bought my pellet pooper Yoder wanted like $600 to ship here which was why I bought local. You are definitely at the higher end price wise with LSG all things considered.

Interestingly enough I am interested in one of their vertical cookers and asked how much to ship across town to my house (maybe 50 miles or so). He said the freight line they use would charge $150. For that I can rent or borrow a trailer.

Smoker: Lyfe Tyme Offset. Firebox 16" Diameter X 16" Long. Cooking chamber 16" Diameter X 32" Long
Grill: Lyfe Tyme 16" Diameter X 24" Long.
Thermometer: Maverick ET-732 and XR50
For smoking, I am a committed stick burner.
For grilling, it's all about charcoal. Almost always HEB brand mesquite charcoal. If not that, then Kingsford mesquite charcoal.

Late to the party on this thread but thanks for the detailed report. It helped me make a decision between a few fabricators I was considering.
I too would love to visit and see their shop first hand. I make the trudge to Houston every year or so. Maybe next time I will reserve some time and make a side trip to Willis.
Meanwhile I am waiting for my "on order" 20 x 42 LSG to be built and shipped.

I designed my outdoor kitchen so the 24x30 adjustable grill would fit, but apparently Lone Star doesn't make it any more.
