I am thinking of getting a 20x36 pellet smoker this winter to have delivered in the spring. How does it go for payments? Is it all up front at order or at different stages? Thanks.

Howdy, y’all,

Looking to upgrade to a LSG Pellet. I have researched many different brands and the #1 thing for me was the fully welded box. Zero high temp silicone is used. I don’t want to spend 3k+ on a pellet that has a shortcut there (Yoder). I also am big on American made and lasting quality.

My questions are:

- they say there is no performance different between the regular vs. stainless. Anyone have any input on this? Really want to get the stainless due to my humid climate.

- door weights? The regular door is sturdy, and all there, which is what I want in a smoker. It feels like a tank. Does the stainless have that same feel? I had an old pit-master who owned his place for a long time say when buying a smoker, the door weight and feel will tell you if it’s quality made. I am in no way saying LSG isn’t that, but it sticks with me and I just had to ask prior to making this investment.

- heat retention? How does the stainless due in retaining heat? I use my current set up to meal prep large batches of chicken, etc. Even when it’s cold out, I use it.

Any input would be great.

Thank you!
