Advice on building a LSG Pellet Smoker

[rlozinak]

I have a 36 LSG pellet smoker. I had ordered the Valve for it and the 8 inch wheels. I also got the handle that is attached to the smoke stack. I thought about getting the SS shelve but decided I could get a 36" square table to sit next to the smoker that was less then half the price. I think I paid about $136 for the table. I use it all of the time. I also got the cover for it. I would recommend that you get the cover. It has a 10 year guarantee and keeps the rain and buffalo winters off of the smoker.

I'm on week 5 from my order. I'm in the first trimester and this time, it's me doing all the nesting stuff.

Your forum name describes the process of dealing with LSG
Painful - the wait Pleasure - When the grill arrives.
I was given so much misinformation.
Web site says it typically ships in 8-14 weeks. Don't believe it.
My build completed yesterday.
So after 5 weeks and 4 days to build mine, It will ship next week. That will be in week 19.
Suspect I won't get it until into week 20. A long way from the 14 weeks Chris told me.
I'm almost through the Painful part (I hope), and looking forward to the Pleasure.

Yeah, I did the same and skipped the SS shelf and bought a 24/36 SS cart on wheels for about the same price you paid.
Just ordered the the 8" wheels since I have all concrete for it to wheel on.
Also ordered the cover.

Mine is almost home. It is in El Paso, TX.
Less than 5 hours away but delivery isn't scheduled for Tuesday.
Guessing it won't leave there until Monday.

I will be removing the shelf on mine. They seem to get in the way for me.
As mentioned above I have a 24x36 SS cart that I use and move it where needed.
Have a couple other mods I plan on doing. Will post pics (if I remember to take them) and details when done.

I’m anxious to see those mods

I'm trying to downsize the number of grills here. I've got a Traeger, Kamodo Joe and Blackstone (with air fryers). I've used the Kamodo Joe once in the last year, the Traeger is just easier. I use the Blackstone for smash burgers and the occasional stir fry, but use the air fryers all the time. I'll miss those, but have 2 more inside.

I ordered the plancha for smash burgers. I don't do them often so I'm hoping its a good compromise. If not, I'll get a small Blackstone (or just use a large cast iron pan on the stove). I ordered the charcoal basket, too. I doubt I'll use it, but knowing how I think, I'd wish I had it if I don't.

I didn't order the stainless grates, but I think I will change the order to get those. Easy cleanup is winning me over.

I feel the same about the charcoal basket. I’ll probably rarely use it but will regret if I don’t get it.
