after a few years of suffering with a gmg, i just ordered a lsg 42 inch pellet smoker. Anything i should know? looking forward to it in three months. Do you guys recommend the wood chips?

Congratulations! 3 months is not bad at all. Mine took 6 months almost to the day, but that was during the plague.
One thing you are going to notice right away is that the LSG will provide good smoke at any temp. That means you don't have to start at a very low temp first and then bump it up once you get the smoke on it. Even chicken cooked at 350° gets a nice smoke flavor.
I got a box of the oak wood chips and haven't found them to make a significant difference. Ymmv. -

Welcome to the club! A couple of tips: be very careful with seasoning oil near the gasket, and clean your fire box before or after each cook.
And welcome to The Wait. It's a right of passage for any LSG buyer. Here's a link to a LSG PP Facebook group if you're into that. It has lots of tips and such and is a friendly place: https://www.facebook.com/groups/968177084087223Last edited by CaptainMike; December 8, 2025, 05:09 PM.Comment
