    LSG 42" Pellet Smoker Crating Notification

    Last Friday, I received a phone call notifying me my 42" LSG Pellet Smoker is ready for crating. Does anyone have a timeframe from crating to shipping?

      I managed to semi-forget about it for a while, but my anxiety returned after the call. I will probably sell my Smokefire 6 after receiving the LSG. I also decided to keep my BGE. The BGE came in handy when I had six months of problems with the Smokefire.

      I had a Traeger and ended up selling that to a friend of mine. I also have a Weber kettle. But you should not have any issues with the LSG.

      Also welcome to the Pit

      Welcome to the Pit.
      Ditto as above on crating time. Shipping should be fairly quick for you. It took a little over a week for me but I'm in California.

            Welcome from St. Cloud, FL.

            My LSG's (pellet and offset) were delivered 16 days after notification. It was fun day getting both at the same time.

              Things just got real? I received the "Your Smoker Has Shipped" email earlier today. Can anyone recommend a cover beside the one identified on the LSG site?

                Congrats. It'll be in your possession in no time now.

                I believe they use GrillWrap covers. That's what I have and it's very good. And what I'm getting for my new grill as well.

                Thank you, Steve! I hope the trip from Conroe, Texas, to Oklahoma City, doesn't take too Long. My 18-year-old daughter is graduating from high school, and we are throwing a shing ding for her. Supposed to be 50-75 people, and I plan on doing pulled pork.

                Congrats on the new cooker. The LSG covers are nice but very expensive. I have a 20x42 stick burner and I have been using motorcycle covers designed for touring bikes. Amazon has numerous on that will fit, and most are under $50. They certainly are not the same quality as the LSG cover, but they will do the job for a year or so and at the price it is not a big deal to swap one out for a new one.

              Congratulations and welcome. You will probably be impressed by their crating job too as I was. They do everything first class.

                I just received a phone call from the trucking company. They will be here in two hours. I just received the email from LSG at 10 am this morning.

              #14
              WOOHOO! I hope after all the excitement settles that you come back here and share pictures with us.

                Apologies in advance for length:

                I ordered my LSG offset with the "off-road" wheel package, only because there was no way I was getting it into the backyard without those fat wheels. On delivery day, the driver set it down in the driveway and he was about as excited as I was.

                We both started prying off the crate pieces, then a "pop" sound, followed by an unholy hissing. Turns out the crating guys accidentally shot a nail through the 2x4 straight into one of the tires below the firebox. We looked at each other and both said the same bad word at the same time.

                Rushed through the rest of the de-crating and ran that 2200+ lb beast across the lawn, through some cruelly soft sand and got it where it needed to be. The pierced tire was half-flat when we were done.

                I thought for sure I was going to have 2 heart attacks and a stroke. The driver was half my age, and way skinnier than me, and he laid down on his back for a good 10 minutes, breathless. Of course my wife was videoing (no I will not share) and laughing her a** off.

                Admiring our work, the driver said, "that was totally worth it, this thing is gorgeous." I tipped him roughly one mortgage payment and he went on his way. Sent an email to Amber (Chris’s wife) and relayed the story (with far less drama than here). She thanked me for letting them know, apologized, and said we’re sending a new tire. No further questions, no nonsense about receipts or pictures, I was pretty happy.

                A few days later I received a whole new wheel - rim & tire, fully inflated. Went from pretty happy to super impressed. I’d say they have a customer for life.

                Hope your delivery is less exciting than mine, but know that if anything goes south, they will make it right. Congrats!

                epilogue - 2 years later, I could not be more pleased. Absolutely love the thing.
