Just ordered a new Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker

[SteamMachineDalton]

I am so excited and just had to share! I've been a reader of this forum for a few years now, but felt it was time to finally sign up because I am so full of excitement! Today, I ordered the Lone Star Grillz 20x42 Pellet Smoker, to upgrade from my Pit Boss 1150. I've gotten some good cooks on the Pit Boss, and plan on keeping it around, but was ready to step things up a notch!

Curious if any of you have a preferred pellet brand? Usually, I grab Traeger pellets from Ace Hardware, but I feel they can be lacking at times. (This could have totally been the pit boss not putting of enough smoke and not the pellets, I am not sure.)

Also thought it was cool I could get my podcast's logo as an emblem on the grill as well.

People who own a LSG, what do I have to look forward to?

I assume the next step after this one day will be an Offset. lol

Have a great new year!

I've been using Lumber Jack Competition Blend (maple, hickory and cherry) for about 5 years now with no complaints. I've been getting them for $10/20lb bag. This is from a local dealer selling out of their home. I also use a pellet tube (https://www.amazon.com/Pellet-Smoker-Tube-Stainless-Generator/dp/B07JGVBKN3?th=1) to increase the amount of smoke flavor I get on my cooks.

I used the other two mentioned and both left a lot of ash. Lumberjack leaves the least in my MAK so I've been using these for quite sometime now. Most smokes are with the Hickory. Specs on the Lone Star are very good. What else did you order with it? Any Upgrades?. The smoker weighs a bunch so thank goodness for 5" wheels. Hope you don't have any stairs to circumvent in order to get it in place. Only thing I can't determine is grease removal process, but no doubt workable.

Lumberjack or B&B are my go to , but I will buy whatever is on sale .
I run my pellets in 2 ways . For smoke , and for fuel / heat . Pretty much all the same money , but I'll finish longer cooks with Bear mountain or Pitboss , and save the better smoke brands for the start of the next cook .
Bear mountain and pitboss have the most ash for me . Lumberjack and B&B have very low ash in my experience .

That is all I use.
