Finally home all the way from Texas--My newly born offset smoker from Lone Star Grillz

[Shagdog]

Awesome cooker! That thing is sweet!

 

[DaveAlvarado]

Yeah, I need to get me one of those. I keep looking at horizontal cookers, but for my space constraints I really need a vertical. I really like the warming oven option too.

Congrats! That is a beautiful pit!

 

[Big George's BBQ]

That is impressive congrats and enjoy. Love your outdoor kitchen

Damn fine looking smoker. The damper rods for the exhaust are pretty rowdy.

Congrats - that really is a great pit! Love the options you got as well - very nicely done sir. You are gonna have so much good food and so many good times around that thing.


Soooo....when's the party? :hungry:

 

[gaspipe1]

she's a beauty! congrats

 

[THoey1963]

Those are some nice looking pits... Congrats!

Sweet! Looks great in the back along with that outdoor kitchen of yours! I need a neighbor like you.

 

[thesemicullen]

That looks awesome. Can't wait to see your future cooks.

That's a fine Pit ! Why is the bottom of the cook chamber rounded?

 

[oldbill]

I see a LOT more cool touch handles and sausage rods than I got on mine, VERY nice!!!
It's a thing of beauty man, I'd put the pics you've posted here against those of any pit, anywhere!:wink:
You do realize that this is the first step toward becoming a true "redneck" don't you? The more you cook on that fine Texas made stick burner you've got there the more you're going to want to drive old pick up trucks with beer cans rolling around in the bed and worse case scenario,... you may begin to find one of your cousins more attractive!:-o:shock: LOL!!!
I'm truly happy for you Brotha' and welcome to the dark side, the wonderful world of stick burning!:clap2::grin:

Fantastic Sako, too beautiful, bravo! That is the way to do it, my good man! Great post as well. I see in your sig you got the BS oven also, you are pretty much ready for any outdoor cooking now. Dave

That's a fine Pit ! Why is the bottom of the cook chamber rounded?

That's the water reservoir for steam cooking and cleaning.:-D

 

[1911Ron]

Nice looking pit!

 

[GMDGeek]

Very nice! Was looking at their pits the other day - looking for a Vault to give me some more capacity without killing space in the garage.

 

[IslandSmoke]

Wooo hooo! Congrats, thats a helluva smoker and I like the pull handle and temp probe options!! :clap2: Wish I thought of those options while they were building mine! :doh:

 

[pjtexas1]

Congrats! Nothing beats finally getting your new toy after the long wait.

That is one fine looking weapon! How often do you have to feed it once it's hot?

Thanks Neil! I didn't really keep track but I'm going to say every 45 mins or so. But I was feeding it little sticks (limbs) to not exceed 250 for paint curing purposes. I think It would be longer on a nice sized stick. I'll monitor it closely on my official cook.

I must've used about half 9 sticks same size as in the above pic and half bag of 18lb RO to get it going. Total burn time was a little over 6 hours.

Wow, now that is awesome. :thumb: Really like the hanging meat setup and the poker setup. :thumb: Where did you get the skewers?

Thanks you Sir!! The skewers are all over in mediterranean/middle eastern mom and pop shops of stores. I bought those for IIRC $1-2 a piece and had my bro bend the tops for me so I can hang it. Let me know if you can't find them near you and I'll tell you where to get them.
