Lone Star Grillz Offset Smoker Review after 2 YEARS...Wow! 

Your pit does still look as good as the day you got it. Gotta love the quality of LSG pits!!! I think I need to upgrade to the 24 inch myself. I miss having a larger offset. You're looking great Justin! Wish I could see ya in person though. Perhaps this fall we can get together again? I miss ya brother! Cheers!!!!

Tank is the perfect description for the LSG pits. Just solid and incredibly well built.

"He adds lots of freeway noise so you know you can get there by car." Just as you hear a bunch of cars driving by in this video. I love it! I always enjoy this channel and the content. Great video!!!

Thank you for doing this 2 year review. It confirmed a lot of what I am hoping for and the reasons I purchased a 30" vertical. Going into week 12 of the wait - and I am excited that it wont be long now until I get the call its on its way. I really enjoy your channel - great content.

That Q looks fantastic after 2 years of outdoor living. Wow, that speaks Quality!

I've had my eye on one of these for awhile. Thanks for the thorough walk through.

We are glad to see you are still enjoying the pit and happy its working so well for you.

Hey Justin i just watched your video on the warming oven! I loved it, i just ordered the exact lonestar cooker you have. Your videos are all excellent! Keep it going, your my mentor. CHEERS

Glad to see you back doing videos!

Finally got my LSG 24x40 offset and it’s everything you said in this video. This is my first offset and I was afraid. Big commitment but others have said the cheap ones make offset life miserable. But this is amazing. Learning the art of fire management is the best part. Would have never done this this if it weren’t for guys like you, T-Troy, and Grumpus. Love all videos you guys produce. Thanks!

I'm so glad that I ran into your channel. I'm having a really hard time finding more details on the Warming Oven actually used as a warming oven. Hopefully you can do one soon.

Howdy from South Texas Justin! Thanks for sharing your beast of a pit. I cannot wait to get my own.

Great review vid Justin, appreciate your honesty. Glad to see your summer is getting better, hope the rest of your summer is tops. Cheers.

BBM- I stumbled across your channel in search of Weber Smoke fire reviews. Inadvertently I watched the video, Hanging Ribs on the LSG and it was all over. I now have an LSG 24x60 w/ warming oven, Thanks to you BBM. Best decision ever.

Great video!! Pit looks amazing, I have the LSG 20X36 offset and absolutely LOVE IT!!!! Those folks at LSG are so amazing to deal with

You won't find a more honest reviewer out there. Love these videos Justin.

Great 2 yr review and explanation of each component. Ball valve is a definite must. I didn’t realize it was a H2O cooker as well. Dang it Justin - now you got me wanting one.

Wow that’s been a quick two years. Still looks new. Looks like it cooks wonderfully. Thanks for sharing.

Just saw your review for the fun of it because I already have a LSG 24x40 off-set smoker with stainless steel shelf, three thermometers, gas assist starter, counter weight door, ash pan and a charcoal grill grate rack inside the cooker fork making a couple of my paella dishes. I'll try to send pictures to your email address cause I don't see a way to add them here. Absolutely love this cooker and love your channel. Your reviews are honest and sincere. Your videos are high quality. I love that you invite other BBQ gurus to come on your channel.

I bought a 20" lsg after watching your videos and i gotta say its the best cooker i have ever owned. It is a joy to cook on and i enjoy every minute of it. I had a pellet cooker and it was too simple for me almost like cooking in an oven i wanted more interaction. I found that with the lonestar and i have never looked back so thankyou

Another enjoyable and informative video. Thanks Justin.

Great video! Really loved all the camera work!

Always great vids Justin, production quality is top of the pile - much better than most! Just need to put them out more often and get those subs numbers up 👍👍

Thank you for the update, and very informative video. Keep ‘em coming good sir.

Love the intro. The "rack" focus on the baby backs...Lol! Man, I would love that smoker. Great video as always.

Great video, brother 👍🏼. Incredibly detailed and well done as always. Good to see you. I’ll call this week and catch up. It’s been a long couple weeks for me. Blessings 🙏

I have an large IVS and love it. All of there pits are awesome!!! Great video sir!!

Thanks for the walk-thru. Great stuff. I’ve got this same model being made now.

Wish we could get these in the uk! Great to see you back!

Great video Justin! Was glued to every second of it. You know how I feel about Lone Star Grillz and my offset. It will always be my favorite above anything else I own, but man I sure do like the addition of that warming oven. Super nice pit!

Awesome review on that cooker. I've been looking at these for some time, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Great review I see it has wheels which means it can be moved easily. The way you have it all put together is amazing the upgrades really completes the smoker.

What a nice Grill! Thanks for the honest review!!

Justin, You smell like BRISKET! 😂😂😂 That made me laugh!

Pit looks fantastic. Great review of her. One day I'll get one.

Great informative video. Thank you can’t wait to purchase a LSG.

Awesome Video as usual thank you, mine on the way, can't wait to season it :) it will be very helpful if you do a video about fire management and temperature control for low and slow cooking on this pit, appreciate your work man keep it up.

Great video! I'm in Mass. so I was concerned about holding temps with an offset up here. However, (and may be a bit "off track") I ordered an insulated cabinet smoker from Lone Star last month and can't wait for it to get here !!! As u stated, they've been nothing but stellar to work with thus far. Keep the great content coming young man! 👍

Great video. I have been waiting excitedly for it to drop. I keep telling myself I don't need an offset...but I think I may have to get one.

“You smell like brisket.” That one got a chuckle because I’ve heard the same thing on occasion

Very good video. I’m in the hunt for a cooker and this is at the top of the heap.

Thanks for the great review am looking at the same pit.

Excellent video really appreciate it, I Love the fact that you mention the tuning plates because so many people think that they can run these smaller offsets smaller than yours without diverter plates across the bottom to carry that heat through to the stack they'd rather sit there and add one little stick at a time every 10 minutes and not have a real fire going That's the whole idea so you can have a real fire going divert some of that heat at the same time have equal temperatures and smoke For a great BBQ

Awesome "thumbs up" video for sure. Wow, that grill looks brand new after 2 years - that's a wow grill!!! And Justin, you look great, this video has amazing color - awesome video skills 😊 This definitely is a huge thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome review! I’d love to have a stick burner, maybe Santa will bring me one. Lots of good info here and well presented as always, thanks

Nice to see how well the pit is holding up over 2 years of use. I'm 11 weeks in waiting for my LSG 36" offset cabinet with off road package, it's gonna be FUN! Cheers!

Great review on your unit. Now to convince my wife that we need one when we retire. Love the videos.

How did I miss this!?!? I can't believe it's already been 2 years with that bad boy. So glad to see yuh man. Hope everything is good with the family. Lookin forward to getting together whenever is good.

Love the Lonestar offset!

Another nice review Justin...Wish you would drop a new one more often...

Great Job Justin!

Hey Justin. I finally have a LSG coming soon. I went all in with the 24 x 84” trailer pit. Very excited about it. Only issue right now is the lead time is 20 weeks☹️. Looking like an awesome X-mas though. Thanks for the video. I know its a few years late but, FYI - I’ve watched this video quite a bit. Have a great weekend.

“ This is my mid life crisis “ 😂 That thing is definitely the corvette of cookers. Badass!

I'm thinking that I want one of those pits in a few years when I can afford it. It looks like it's holding up to the elements great, and I've never seen an unfavorable review of any Lone Star Grillz product. Thanks for bringing us this video and I'm glad you appear to have your normal energy level back. I also hope your wife really likes brisket; it makes for totally different theme music (bow-chicka-wow-wow … wow). It's good to be the King.

Great Video! Thanks for the review!

I would love for you to do a video sometime about how you clean your cookers. The shelf on that Lone Star looks spotless!

Best offset I have ever owned, or used. Love mine!

As far as I remember I just found your Channel and I am impressed with your Channel and information I subscribed because I am going to buy a Lonestar offset Smoker, this is the model I'm looking at purchasing. Thank you for sharing your talents and recipes Bob Cooney Salt Lake City Utah Good luck in the future...

I am very tempted to take the plunge to get an offset smoker again... I love the size of the 24 x 48, Lonestar Grillz makes an incredible BBQ.

Nicely done, Justin. As always, I love the quality of your videos. I’ve had my LSG for 26 months now and still get a little giddy when I fire it up. Your review was spot on and pretty much mirrored my experience with my LSG. I’ve got a little more rust on my fire box than you, but I’ve tested some excessive fires, so I can’t ding LSG for that. If I may suggest… I’ll bet you could drill out those rivets for your SS Logo, touch up the paint, and remount with SS screws (maybe put a SS washer as a spacer between the logo plate and the box to prevent future moisture build up and rust). I’m close enough to visit Chris and Amber on occasion, and they still greet and treat me the same as when I first met them. I would buy anything from these people! Great review Justin. Gotta go… wifey just got home… “Hey honey… Justin smells like BBQ too……..” 😂😂😂

Great review of the LSG. I so need to add an off-set smoker to my collection. Having cooked on T-ROYS LSG, I can say they’re great cookers.

Just drove over to LSG and ordered the exact same cooker you have. Its about a 4 month wait but thats ok. Several other cheaper options available but the LSG’s quality and track record is second to none. Met the owner. He walked me through everything. Im Excited!!! My wife, not so much!!!! Lol!!! 😎

My dream Pit... Great review....

BBM, I always enjoy watching your entertaining (and honest and helpful) videos, much appreciated. I just ordered my LSG 24x40" and wanted to ask, for the back yard cooker, would you still recommend the split top shelf? For all the cooking you do, are you still like "so glad I got this split shelf?". Thanks.

Great Video man. Came across as someone who is just over the moon with his grill and wants to share it rather than an infomercial. Not an offset guy myself, I am a Kamado smoker , Love my Primo Oval XL400, but I appreciate a well made grill!

Very cool, great walk through. I have an LSG offset on order and cannot wait to get it. Keep reminding myself that it is being fabricated for me and I gotta be patient...lol

That smoker is a work of art. I have the mini it makes amazing bbq but someday when I have more time I want one like that!

I purchased a Walmart smoker offset oh, and I fell in love with smoking on the offset. Now that I see this Lonestar and many other different reviews, I am buying ×2 for 2 locations. Pellet offset, and wood offset.

Your back “WOW” please start doing cooking videos again please😀 Rub showdowns etc

Awesome review of that offset appreciate vou sharing and looks like a beast...what is the most you have ever smoked on that at once?

Built like it was made from the Industrial Revolution era! Thanks for sharing!

Would love to see more cooks on this brother, I have one..... it’s time consuming but dang, it’s worth it.

Nice review. LSG makes quality products. I think I read where there are 4 or 5 coats of paint on them. The only part of your review that I take a small issue with is the way to clean the firebox. An ash pan that catches the ash that can be removed and dumped is a better option. I own a LSG large vertical smoker and love it. It will be around for decades it’s that well built.

It’s a beautiful cooker, my beautiful friend. Someday I’ll have to get one (maybe a smaller one haha) to review for my channel. And the line about the wife turning to you and saying “ you smell like brisket” well... that might as well be the title of my memoir. Wonderful video! - EJ

Great video…. Liked and subbed!!

love hearing your thoughts we would like to get a smoker

LSG is amazing. I added an insulated mini cabinet smoker for here in South Dakota. I don't have to run around outside in the winter adding wood now.

What a beauty. And your channel is blowing up man.... Almost 100k...Congrats!!! Just remember: I was here way back when u thought the bayou offset was the best thing ever 😜😊😉

Great video thank you..!

I’m building an outdoor kitchen and I am looking at the Lonestar built in charcoal grill as the main cooker. I currently have 5 Webers (which I love), but the quality of the Lonestar charcoal grill with the versatility of ways to cook on it will allow me to do everything on 1 cooker.

Really good review, Justin. I've had an LSG Adjustable Grill & Smoker since March, and I've cooked on it every night except when it's 115° outside. It's just outright fun to cook on. I sold my PK-360, not because it wasn't any good, but because I no longer needed it, because the Adjustable is like a Santa Maria and you can bring the fire up within about 3" of the meat. It can also be used as a vertical smoker, an offset smoker, or a stick burner. Like you, I am so glad I bought it. LSG is great to work with

First - love the channel, and admire your talents. Envy. Second - I purchased an almost identical (24x36) cooker; all the same features. Including the warming oven. Thanks for being the one that helped educate me on this. Last - Chris and the LSG team truly seem like a great group, and awesome company. Please pass this along if you can. Since your channel converted me into a customer. Pit arrives around Sept-Oct. can’t wait. Will update when it comes in. Oh - one question; have you used the warming oven as an actual oven? Thinking a baking video might be interesting. I’m wondering if the radiant heat at the bottom, with the damper plate installed, might create an issue for burned bottoms. But, who really cares. Just curious! It seems like it would crush it on pizzas, rivaling a kamado-style cooker. Thanks again.

What does hanging ribs in the warming box do to the fire box? How do you clean grease out of the firebox after cooking in the warming box? Great video, thank you!

Rest Video... I do agree that these LoneStarGrillz hold up to the test of time!! It’s hard to beat the flavor you get from a stick burner!!!

Great Video! There build quality is the best around hands down!

Best smokers money can buy! 🔥🇺🇸

Looks pretty good, my homemade stick burner needs a coat of paint every year if I want it to look nice. If I had better access to cheap splits, I would use the stick burner more often, it makes the best smokes. That Lonestar Grill will last a lifetime. Good review.

Hey Papa Maniac, great video on the LSG offset!. I hope you don't mind a complicated question. But here goes - 1) In your opinion, what's difference between your offset and a LSG cabinet offset? and 2) Is it possible to cook at different temperatures in the warming oven (350-400 for beer can chicken) and the main cooking chamber (275 for brisket)? Thanks for any insight. Stay healthy and keep cooking on the LSG!

Thanks for the update review! I ordered the 48” also. But I keep wondering if I should upgrade to the 60” for the whole hog reason. What size hog you think you could fit on the 48”? Thanks!

I have a Shirley Fab Cabinet Door Smoker and in my opinion they're the leading builders with the quality and price point you can't beat them at any level

Knocked it out of the park again, Justin. I’ve been weighing the purchase of an offset vs a Santa Maria grill for some time, and I’m deterred only by the occasional appearance of SWMBO. She’s a veterinarian, so I’m truly married to a castrating female, and I have to watch my step. Also, my back deck Is currently home to a Weber gas grill, a Weber charcoal kettle, a Weber Smokefire and a Big Green Egg. And then, after I get the offset or the Santa Maria, what will I want next? Ah, decisions, decisions. Thanks for another great video

I remember when you got that Lone Star Grillz Pit Justin, it still does look good, even the minor light flaws. If your wife still is close to you after brisket, she is a keeper, she may even dab a little brisket grease behind her ears as perfume to make you do more honey-do items around the house. Its nice to see you put out a vid, keep it up. P.S. Can’t wait for the Olympics next year to see what event you will be doing. J

Awesome video dude! Your laid back style of presenting is great. Btw, grow a beard since that retains the smoke smell for a longer time after you are done smoking lol.

Dude your channel is awesome. Quick q for you, on the fence about getting a Weber Summit Charcoal, I was about to get one but then saw comments about the M1 from M Grills and it looks dope for smoking and the Santa Maria style crank for searing but I fear it will not be as convenient as the Summit. Some of your vids when smoking brisket on the Summit don't show too much of a smoke ring, but wanted to ask you if that it's a huge deterrent, and the whole smoke leak thing you talked about. Definitely love all the conveniences of the Summit and looks to be a do it all grill but the smoke ring thing kind of worries me. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks for all the great content man. Cheers!

Your LSG looks brand new. How do you clean and maintain it, inside and out. Thanks in advance and by the way- Great Videos keep em' coming!!!

Hope all’s been well brother!!

Lone Star Grillz is awesome and seems like they thought of everything To solve the handle corrosion, you can compress the spring to take it off and touch up the paint. It should work!

A lone starz offset is my bucket list smoker. One day man....one day...

I have been doing BBQ on a $100 Weber Kettle my hole life. My wife just bought me a Lone star Grillz 20" X 32" offset smoker. Im so excited i dont know what to do. I have to wait 12 to 14 weeks.

Love the lsg getting a Santa Maria grill from them but going for the Shirley fabs smoker instead , almost pulled the trigger on a lone star smoker though.
