I've been following up with Chris Goodlander at LSG about the progress on rolling out his long awaited pellet grill offering. I spoke with him during the summer and he was having some issues with getting the Fireboard controllers lined out and installed in his initial cookers. I visited his website and see that he is doing pre-orders and is already sold out on the smaller unit. He has promised me a demo walk through at some point, I may try to go see him over Thanksgiving week. Stay tuned, my prediction is this is going to turn out HUGE !!!!

You got it, $1895, and this is the small version. One thing to remember is build quality, all 10 ga. or better metal and cutting edge control (Fireboard). Pays for what you gets !!
I'm the same way. I have a custom P&S unit. I actually just blew a fan motor so I'm fixing mine after 3 years of use. Regardless a $40 fan motor is sure better than a new $1800 unit. Besides I want a gravity fed unit and a Santa Maria type grill (dream on right?) so pellet smokers are not on my radar screen. I just know this one will be killer.
actually, Me thinks up grade to this rather then a Traeger Timberline 850.
Tell me a little more about the company, personal experience if possible.

I keep my cookers in the heated garage and wheel them out to cook each time. Maybe Chris would like me to demo one in cold MN weather? Lol-Lol! I'm excited for your review Troutman .
Since this is going to be a 1st for Fireboard and a 1st for LSG, I am sure there will be some issues with it when it is released that will come out. does anyone know if it will have multi-stage cooking ability like the Traeger Ironwood or Timberline models?
Interesting, I didn’t know that Traeger had a multi-stage cooking ability. In a few years, I will upgrade to this smoker. I love the quality of life features and look. I am sure they will work through the kinks after a few iterations.
my understanding was they had programming available in quite a few upcoming grills, but this was the first complete custom controller. But that's just from reading random internet peoples thoughts, nothing official.
