As the title says, I’m very close to buying a Lonestar Grillz offset vertical smoker (this one). I have a few questions though.
Are 5” casters fine, or should I upgrade the size. Other than if I move to a different house, I don’t see myself moving this around at all.
Is it worth getting stainless steel grates? That “upgrade” is about the most expensive thing you can add. My other smokers have stainless grates, so I’ve never used one with expanded metal grates.
Does anyone else sell a similar smoker that you’d recommend instead of Lonestar Grillz? I’m pretty set on it being a vertical offset because of space limitations (and I’ve started making sausage and would like to hang them to smoke).
Finally, is there any way to get the temp down to 140-150 or so in one of these? I haven’t smoked any sausage yet, but I see that the lowest temp of 180 I can do on my other smoker is too high. I was thinking just a single burning charcoal briquette and a pellet tube might do it.
