        Thanks Kenyatta! You along with Steve helped me bring out the card to get it on order! You answered numerous questions for me and yes, the fire basket is a good thing to have. Makes fire management much easier to judge and control.

        BTW, your videos on it are great. The ribs above were done yesterday after watching your latest video. I skipped the wrap completely and my crowd had no complaints.

        ofelles did I have anything to do with your decision to get your LSG??
        I’m trying to keep track so at some point I can hit Chris with a kick back. 😁😁

                Cooked a couple of pizzas in the firebox tonight for some of our crowd. Worked as well as I had hoped. I built a coal bed out of Fogo Quebracho lump and put one small oak split on it. My boss made two pizzas and had them on stones ready to go.

                Was nice to have two to cook so I could learn a bit about my technique. The first was good and the second even better.

                The firebox on the LSG is as good as I hoped it would be for cooking pizza! Looking forward to some griddle tests next.

                First pie going in:

                Second one just delivered to the kitchen. A very even cook with a slight wood fired taste. (Missed a photo on number 1)

                  The firebox is tight enough that I think I can run it on auto with a load of lump or briquettes controlled by FireBoard and a blower. I had a fan port installed on it as an option. I am also looking forward to using the griddle on top of the firebox.

                  The firebox versatility on this pit is off the charts.

                  Oh. Snap. I was thinking about how to get my pizza game going on my BGE. But this post just changed my mind set.
                  And I see you’re using their V shaped fire management thing as well. 😍

                    Yeap Steve, they started offering them before they shipped it so I added one. I have a charcoal basket drawn up and will fabricate that in the next few days. I want to see how this thing will run on automatic with a 18 lb sack of B&B briquettes and the FireBoard/Pit Bull fan setup.

                    The fireboxes on the LSG offsets are the bomb!
