Smoked some chicken thighs, Lamb shanks and under blade chuck roast. Used Bear Mountain Gourmet Pellets with three chunks of oak in the split basket. All came out delicious. Not sure the Roast will make it to Dinner.... Smoke ring is awesome
I've never even seen an LSG in person, so I am relying solely on reviews. I am looking to use it for everything as an all-in-one, and get rid of older stuff. Hands on experience is always the best to learn from, so please enlighten me.
Hi- I am considering moving from a falling-apart Genesis and ~ 15 y.o. BGE to a single unit. I am basically down to the 2 above LSG models and the Yoder 640-S. Based on what everyone says, LSG is a superior brand. However, according to Yoder, when you want to use it just as a grill (for steaks for example), the heat up time is 11-13 minutes, which LSG (or at least the one person I spoke with), says is 35-40 minutes. Since I am looking to replace a very convenient gas grill, 11-13 minutes is fine. 45-40 is a deal killer.
If you have either of these models and use it for grilling, can you please let me know the time it takes to get to ~500 degrees F in normal temps (i.e. not freezing)?
I’m cooking a 20lb SRF brisket for the 4th. Do you recommend using the top grate or the lower grate?
New to this grill the FireBoard display is really dim. Can someone please tell me how to raise brightness?
For those that bought the wood split basket, does it make that much of a difference? Doing pellets with chips is super easy and get tons of smoke flavor. Just seeing if anyone thinks it’s worth it!
Alright peeps. The time has come for me to move on from my Traeger days….
My two options are the 1500 Outlander or a LSG 20x42.
I understand price point is very wide here, but what I have heard about LSG’s has me interested.
Does anyone here have experience with both and care to share some insight to help me choose? I’m based in CA and have no local dealer for either for context.
