Hi all,
I've learned so much here; thanks for all the knowledge!
Like the title says, I've got a LSG mini IVS on order. Capacity-wise it's perfect. I'm wondering if there's any need for an offset once the cabinet arrives. I've no experience with either, having used only a large BGE since 2010. I'm very excited for the IVS upgrade, which should be decently similar to what I'm used to (Fireboard, set-and-forget idea). Is there a reason to add an offset to the arsenal? I don't have a problem sourcing wood, and finding time to manage it usually shouldn't be an issue (and when it is, I can use the IVS).
But do I gain anything from the offset? I've read from numerous folks here that the LSG IVS can get quite close to offset results once I figure out what I'm doing, and you all have given some great suggestions for how to make that happen. Is the offset largely a lifestyle choice, then, trading flexibility for the fun of fire management? I know many of you have both. I also know many of you have sold your offsets after getting an IVS.
Thanks for all your wisdom!
