Lone Star makes excellent smokers. Love the wheels.
last a lifetime.

[DavidNorcross]

Those wheels.....

Looks awesome. Congratulations!

How many briskets you doing per week for the church ladies now?

[Jerod Broussard]

Thankfully not a lot. The problem is 23 Boston butt cooks. That is what did me in.

[CandySueQ]

What a beauty! Want one bad -- had to settle for much cheaper vertical. Wheels are very impressive!

[Purc]

That is a beast. congratulations on your new smoker.

[Skip]

Three cans of Pam later and the 6hrs at 225 journey has started. Got off work almost 8hrs early woohooooo!!!

[Jerod Broussard]

So this controller seems to think a temp setting is just an option. Quite the carnival keeping it under 250 with a 225 setting. If it was allowed to go as high as it went low it would have been +/- 50 dugreez.

I'm not familiar with the Fireboard controlled grills, but I would suspect you need a few cooks under your belt in addition to the seasoning before things lock in. That's a wild swing though and haven't seen that mentioned for LSG or Yoder with the Fireboard units.

[JCBBQ]

Awesome!! Congrats.

[fzxdoc]

Did the controller get itself under control, finally, Jerod Broussard ?

[Jerod Broussard]

No, I emailed LSG. I was 4 hrs in and it was taking another dive below 180.

[WI Bubba]

I don't use the built in probe to control the temp opting instead to use an ambient probe clipped to the grate near whatever I'm cooking. That aside, you shouldn't be having those kinds of temp swings. I've never had an issue with mine, so I'm interested in how quickly they respond to you. It's how a company responds to problems that sets them apart from the competition. Hopefully LSG's support is as good as their build quality.

[Jerod Broussard]

I did the same on my other pellet pooper.

[Sweaty Paul]

It's a beautiful rig! Hope you get the temp situation and controller figured out sooner rather than later. Looking forward to seeing your cooks!

[Jerod Broussard]

Yeah, it appears to be a firmware update or lack thereof. It is connected right now but looks to be a 2+ hour journey. Hopefully all good in 1.5hrs or so.

[Sweaty Paul]

Jerod Broussard keep us apprised. If I remember correctly they use Fireboard. They seem to be a very reputable company. Fingers crossed for you that once the update is done you'll be off to the races.

[Jerod Broussard]

No joke. Even smoking a cockroach will be exciting. Non-lactating of course.

[JCBBQ]

Dang I was really hoping for more pics today. 🙁

[Jerod Broussard]

Only thing new is the interface now with a WiFi symbol. Didn't have that before today.

[Jerod Broussard]

The grill is shipped with 1.1.1 version on the firmware and requires an update to 3. something another. That is why it was so wonky on the seasoning, I think, I hope.

My issue is, after 4hrs of WiFi connection nothing has updated. So I'll be contacting customer service tomorrow so I don't have a $$$$ pile of steel crap under my car port for too long.

[Jerod Broussard]

Chris got back to me and said I had the latest version. So now that I am not seasoning I can let this dude ride tonight.

[JCBBQ]

LFG!!!
