LSG is on the top of my list.
Can’t decide which one ,,,offset or an insulated vert. cabinet. The prices are very reasonable for the build quality.
The tough part is $1k shipping cost to MA.
@ofelles,,,I did send Chris @ LSG an email to get an estimate for shipping and his reply was to put what ever smoker I was looking at into to basket and go, to checkout and it would have the cost for shipping.
It came to $980 to the Boston area.
It was an ouch moment !
I love my LSG 20x36. Had it almost 2 years and I don't know how I survived without it.
If it helps, here's my take on the accessories I got:
Grill Pan - love it. I use it a lot
Ash pan - would not buy if I had it to do over. I don't use it
Gas assist - I've used it a couple times, but mostly not. My lighting method is to start a charcoal fire, then add logs. Probably would not buy again, but maybe.
Charcoal basket - I've used it a couple times. I expect it will be a lot more useful if I get a fireboard blower for set-and-forget long cooks. The baffles are not very durable at charcoal temps - they are flaking off big chunks. But I would still buy it again.
Ash rake and poker - probably overpriced for what you get, but I use them a lot and like that they match the smoker.
Vinyl Cover - need to have it unless you are under a roof. You need to waterproof the seams - they leak, which annoyed me considering the cost
Probe ports - I got 2 so I could have easy access to both grates. Would be okay with just 1
Pull handle - essential unless you will always leave it parked in the same spot
Drain valve - worth it. Makes cleaning way easier. I didn't price what it would cost to buy - certainly could screw one on yourself if you can get it cheaper
Bottom line - the smoker is awesome, and the accessories are good overall with a few duds from one man's point of view.
