This forum and so many of you helped me make sense of this fun and confusing at first, world of smoking meat. Your help directed me to purchasing a Weber SmokeFire and using it every week for months. After a few months with the SmokeFire, I realized smoking meat was a new hobby that was here to stay.
Weber released a new version, I returned my SF and preordered through BBQ guys, stoked but bummed because I’d be over a month without a smoker and I was due to cook a brisket!! As I was waiting, a smoking meat forum worm was digging through my head. I posted a few months back about finding a smoker that left a good smoke taste on the meat. I was surprised as I combed the internet about pellet smokers and learned that many owners of many different brands felt like the smoke profile wasn’t as strong as they liked. That’s what ultimately pushed me to a SF. But someone in the thread mentioned Lonestar Grillz, check them out. Being a good YouTuber, I headed over. It was one of those things you can’t unsee.
They looked amazing. But way out of my price range for a hobby I didn’t even know that I would like. Fast forward to me waiting for the new SF, the worm hit something. I said F it. Buy once, cry once. Cancelled my preorder and ordered a Lonestar.
Now the long wait begins. So in the mean time, I’m still coming down from the big purchase high and want to consume and live vicariously through people that have these suckers. I’m scouring YT, this forum and others. There just isn’t a ton of stuff out there. I would love to hear about any of your experiences with this pellet smoker. Your wait times. Why you decided to stand in this slowly moving line, haha. Let me know! Post some pics! Not to take away from this amazing place, but I started a r/lonestargrillz page too if anyone is interested. Post away!
