Hi, I would like to resurrect this thread.
Does any one know of a pellet smoker/grill with dimensions similar to the Louisiana Grill LG900 32 1/2" X 19 1/2" that has an approximate consistent temperature across the grilling area?
The LG900 consistently has about a 30F difference in cooking area temperature from right to left. This makes cooking multiple items a real challenge as the right gets done far earlier than the left. I either need to swap everything in mid cook or take items off at markedly different times. If this is normal for the larger grills, just let me know.
I have a nice place to roll the LG into and would like to find something that was not much higher.
Open to suggestions. I figure to sell the LG to someone locally next spring and replace it.
Their customer service is interesting. They are happy to send parts as long as the customer is willing to disassemble the grill to install them. Replacing the temperature probe is essentially impossible since one has to remove the hopper from the end of the barrel and the screws that need to be loosened are on the inside of the cooking chamber. They are pretty much welded to the end plate due to heat and corrosion. No amount of Mouse Milk or other thread loosener allows the screws to be broken loose before stripping the Philips head. I have always thought that engineers should have to service things in the field they design so they will understand the consequences of their work. I found this to be true from Lockheed onwards in my career.
