Offset or pellet pooper...

[Uncle Bob]

.....which should you get? Thanks to LSG you can now get both in one package.............problem solved.

24'' X 48'' Offset Hybride Smoker – Lone Star Grillz

[dpearce]

Neat! Wonder what the reviews will look like?

[dpearce]

Panhead John Oh sure... Do you not remember my Meadow Creek problem?

[Uncle Bob]

dpearce there are no problems, only opportunities....

[dpearce]

Uncle Bob Please see my last post in the Jokes thread...

I think that will sell very well. Heck if I hadn’t swore to never own a pellet grill I might be tempted.

[WI Bubba]

It's not like you HAVE to use the pellet option. But maybe just try it once. Just to see...

[cruiseplanner1]

I was tempted enough to click on the link and see if it was something I could upgrade to, well until I seen the price.....7k I will keep workin' with my stick burner

[Skip]

Looks like all options are included? Nice!

[realdocBBQ]

Glad it's available, it's a nice option for some folks who are looking for that.


Personally, I'd suspect it's like many other 'compromises' - it probably does multiple things fairly well, but none of them exceptionally. I could be wrong. For that kind of money, it better be spectacular. Interested to see how it works.

[Richard Chrz]

That is my experience with most things that try to be too many things.

[Murdy]

Price may be a little inflated now due to its being the only one of its kind and may come down a bit in the future. I was skeptical when I read the post, but it actually looks like pretty ingenious to me.

[Uncle Bob]

If you go through all the pictures available there are a number of new design features beyond the mixing of two fuel/burn formats. Also there are option features that will likely take that price listed even higher.

A BBQ hybrid!! and only for $7K (without shipping). What a deal.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Well, the only cooker I don't have is a stick burner so.... maybe this will have to join the collection at some point. Gonna need a lot of my play stocks to do something though because I don't think my wife would allow another 5K+ grill purchase after MAK went the way it did.

[realdocBBQ]

You need a chubby little 30x48 patio offset, fully insulated. I'll meet ya halfway or something and we'll keep it under $5k. Easy to move around, compact footprint and lots of room.

[Uncle Bob]

It seems that often the internet is a place where folks exercise their negative thinking, being quick to point out what they perceive as problems, errors, bad ideas, and so on. Usually this is done by folks with no first hand experience, but plenty of imagination.

Let's draw one possible justification (of sorts) for this device. Often folks will decry the long cooking time of, let's say brisket, on an offset. They lament having to feed a new split of wood every so often visualizing losing sleep as a result. Using this cooker you could start the cook for a couple to few hours with your favorite wood splits knowing that the first hours are the most critical to laying on smoke flavor. Then, when you're ready for beddy-bye, kick it over to the pellet system and controller to work it's magic while you count sheep or whatever you dream about ( Panhead John , we don't need to know yours....please).

Panhead John dreams about being me

[klflowers]

Too rich for my blood

[Jerod Broussard]

After smoking with their pellet smoker, the last thing I need is something that requires me to do anything other than watch what's happening on the fireboard app.

[zblongladder]

OTOH, a pellet grill / offset combination by LSG sounds like somebody took all my BBQ wildest dreams and chopped them up together into a single, glorious product. OTOH, at that price, unless a rich relative decides to die sometime soon, I'm pretty SOL.

[texastweeter]

Be a man, get an offset...then again if you get a pellet proper you will have more time to cuddle with Panhead John

[Ace]

🤣🤣🤣

[Panhead John]

Hanging out is free, cuddling is extra….
