Default Is lift gate necessary?

I just purchased a G-2 Chubby. is the "lift-gate" service necessary? Is the crate big enough to slide off the truck?

2 guys can lift it out. no way you can yourself. sometimes the lift gate trucks work better because they are not 53' trailers trying to drive down side streets and dead ends

Agreed, the chubby isnt that bad, but the crate its bolted to adds considerably to the weight.

If they offer liftgate service go for it!

YOU CAN NOT COOK GREAT BBQ ON A CONSISTENT BASIS BY COOKING TO AN INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OR BY TIME ( XXX MIN PER LB) YOU MUST COOK BY FEEL! For Brisket and Pork Butts it must pass the poke test(probe like soft butter in the thickest part of the Flat) Ribs pass the Bend Test, These are the only reliable methods to ensure that your cook will be a success. There is one exception to these rules and that is Poultry which must achieve an internal temp of 170 deg in the thickest part of the thigh and 165 in the breast.
