Is Lone Star worth the wait vs Pitts & Spitts?

[Texascat]

I want a Premium Pellet Smoker and I've narrowed it down to the LSG 42 and Pitts & Spitts Maverick 1250.

I just got an email from Lone Star that their current delivery is 3 months +/-. The Pitts & Spitts is in stock at my local dealer.

I like the looks of the Pitts & Spitts. It's built heavy duty and seems it would last a lifetime. Reviews are mostly positive.

The Lone Star reviews are "entirely" positive. Most reviews also state the flavor is close to offset. But the wait...

Is the Lone Star really worth the wait?

There was issues before?
Not sure what it was or if its resolved?
Just what I see here posted.

I decided to go with the Pitts & Spitts. I think I'm going to be happy with it. Plenty of room for large cooks.

That's nice . I'd say a wise choice .

 

[homebeerbrewer]

Sure is shiny. And has a lot of room. Hope it works out for you.

Three racks . Nice lookin' smoker. Ok, let's see what you're smoking this weekend!

Beautiful pellet smoker, I'll be tuned in to see if you find it actually close to offset stick burner results.

 

[chopsaw]

Is that the 850 ?

 

[Fueling Around]

Ooo shiny
I know a P&S dealer and he swears by them.

It's the 2000. When I saw how much room it had my decision was made.

OK , thanks . I've been snooping around the site after I saw yours . My SmokeFire is still doing the job , just thinking for the future .
Be interested in your thoughts after 5 or 6 cooks .

That's loadin' her up! Judging by the color I might have just enough time to make it up there for dinner

Whoa! Bubba! Talk about gettin' after it! There's enough protein on that bad boy to feed me for 2 or 3 month's.

The first cook was an absolute success. I also got the smoke cage with it and I've never saw this kind of smoke ring from a pellet smoker.

That’s a nice unit! Congrats! The shelf set is SWEET!

 

[chopsaw]

Good to hear . Don't mind spending the money when you get results .

I've never saw this kind of smoke ring from a pellet smoker.

The open design of the SmokeFire delivers in that department for sure .

I'll be watching , so post up the progression . Interested in your thoughts after it;s all seasoned up .

That looks awesome, I'm sure it was as good as it looks. You can never go wrong with literally anything from Weber.
