LSG Adjustable Grill & Smoker unboxing

[Alphonse]

My Lone Star Grillz Adjustable Grill & Smoker arrived this week.

808 pounds of crate - rolled downhill on the long drive without losing it off the pallet jack:


Crate dismantled and pulling stuff out of the pit to make it a lighter for the roll off and move.


Rolling off the skid:


Moving across the grass using some of the crate sides as the roadway.
Glad I got the bigger wheels:


Cleaned up and in place:


The seasoning run about to take off:
Ran the pit at 250F, bumped it up to 300F and then back to 250F - total time about 6 hours ( I went to bed!).



First cook:

They were good. Dizzy Dust rub with mango BBQ sauce on the finish. I normally wrap them for an hour or so but I was in a time squeeze, a bit lazy, and ran the upper grate temp at 275F to push it along a bit faster than my norm. I was also spending my time tweaking vent adjustments and watching response to learn the pit's behavior. I ran the cook using Fogo lump with a Fireboard and a fan. I have a nice prime brisket in the fridge aging up a bit but want to do some more rudimentary stuff first and learn more about he pit's manners. Planning on running some splits through it next, sans blower of course.
