    New guy trying to figure out wood

    Do you use their fire management basket? I have it and when I preheat a split, they immediately light every time. The basket is great for keeping the coals hot and lit, and the fire contained.

    I just received my LSG 24 x 48 offset and I ordered the cover for it. Theirs is made by Sunbrella and come with a warranty. Like radioguy said, you could try a boat shop for a nice custom cover. A cover will be a lot easier to take on and off than a tarp…I currently have mine covered with a...
