- I received my Lone Star Grillz 20x42 Pellet Smoker here at the Man Cave last week. I have spent the last few days getting a feel for it and now I'm ready to give you a tour of this grill. It's a beast!

Can't wait for your cooking videos on this 👍🏻👍🏻
Great information. Thank you
I have the same one and couldn't be any more pleased with it. A great investment and a joy to use. Thanks for the thorough video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video, I just ordered mine.
Nice walk around. Looking forward to seeing more content from you on this incredible Pitt. 👍
Thanks! I am looking forward to it too!
Hey John, loved the walk through and your great descriptions. Enjoy, it looks like a fantastic pellet smoker!
Thanks! Its gonna be fun to tame this one.
Excellent walk around and looking forward to your videos.The LSG Facebook group is great too, they impressed me that much I imported one to the Uk.
It is that good and I also have 5 USA offsets to compare it against.
Greal looking pellet smoker! Cool auger design
Well, looks like it is time to start saving! 😀 Thanks for the walk around!!
Thanks for watching! It looks amazing all the way around. I'll start cooking on it tomorrow!
Thanks John for the great walk around of the LSG pellet smoker, as always your videos are very informative. I'm looking to purchase one of their pellet smokers very soon, just cant decide on the 36" or the 42" model.
Great lookjng Grill and I cant wait to see what you do with It!
I'll bring some leftovers in!
That's a nice pellet smoker. That cold smoker feature sounds interesting. I will be looking forward to seeing more content with this grill. Great video.
Thanks for watching. I will be playing with the cold smoke feature a lot more shortly.
Congrats on the LSG pellet smoker John! Looking forward to the videos!
Thanks Rus! You were right... it's a BEAST.
Great review! I’m thinking this might be my next pellet smoker! I’ve been looking at the Yoder 640? You have some really nice bourbons behind you:) Cheers!
I’ve been watching your content for years - you taught me how to use my Kamado Joe. Thanks! At some point, a Lone Star vs. KJ video would be fun!
They are too dissimilar to compare.
I was thinking about results. Which grill produces the best product, etc. I’ve had my Joe for many years, and a Traeger Ironwood for three years. There is a significant difference in product, with KJ winning on every taste and appearance metric. I just wonder if the LSG would produce results more comparable to my Kamado?
Great introduction video John! I've had mine for about 7 months and love it. One of my favorite features is the ability to add lone star wood chips to the pellets (for those that want a lil extra kick off smoke flavor). Looking forward to seeing some cooking videos on this beast.
Thanks! I will be making a lot of video content it this year. I may try some of the wood chips but this thing makes really great smoke for me so far with just the pellets. Can you tell a big difference when using the wood chips?
I think it depends on the pellets. I've used some pellets that have almost no smoke flavor but others seem to be more robust on their own. I believe they offer hickory and oak chips, I've tried both and the hickory stands out more. I just mix 50/50 with pellets and works well.
@@sapphirefalls111 Awesome! I like cheap pellets... I am using the Pitt Boss blend from Walmart that is $40lbs for $15. I think they are Hickory, Oak, Maple, and Cherry or some combo like that.
@ManCaveMeals Can't beat that price... I just picked up bear mountain blend from sportsman's warehouse but they are a bit more. I'll work through these then try out the pit boss pellets. It needs to warm up a little first though🥶
@@sapphirefalls111 My walmart is carrying several variations of Bear Mountain stuff now also.
John, I been wondering wondering what happened to your old channel? But it’s good to see you again with your new channel.
This is my only channel.. it's the one I started out with
Heaven Hill, Larceny BP, Lone Star Grillz…….you got some good taste 😂
Too good for my own good sometimes :)
Cant wait to see what you cook on it. Wonder, if the grill with produce good smoke flavor at higher temps.
I get visible smoke from this grill at 425F.....
Interested in the amount of smoke flavor vs the Camp Chef Woodwind Pro. Have you tried a mix of pellets and woodchips yet on the LSG?
Have both. Lsg blows chinese camp chef out of the water
Hi John. Nice video. I would need a cover-I do not have a covered area to cook under. Video title says 20x46 but your words are 20x42.
Short of emailing, I wonder if there was a military discount. I know you got a model to demo but I wonder about shipping costs. The grill sure is packed nice.
Thanks for the catch... I corrected my title. The grill is designated as 20x42. I don't know exactly what those numbers represent because the grill footprint is bigger than that and the largest grill grate is smaller than that. The website lists the grill dimensions as 58" wide by 63" tall by 34" deep. I don't know what the shipping costs are either because they are included in the price.
Very nice smoker! Now that you have had it for a little bit, is there anything you would do different or changes that you would have made to the smoker? I'm looking hard at LSG and want to get any advice I can get. Thanks for your help.
The only thing I might like to have that I don't have is locking casters. The 5" casters do not lock. If you upgrade to the 8" casters, the two on the left have locks. That may or may not be an issue for you.
Thanks for the reply. I tend to agree with you
I’m putting my regular 20x42 up for sale and get in line for this one. Got have it soon as I got mine they decided build this. Well that life but as soon I sell it I’m calling put my order in…..
Good luck with the sale... you will love the pellet smoker :)
@@ManCaveMeals I watched your video I’m sold on it living in Houston I don’t think I will have problem sell it take $ 500 offthe original price and let it go
Nice video John I'm needing to replace my aging Memphis pro.Good timing.Do you have any initial thoughts on how this compares to your Bark and Woodwind Pro other than your comments on smoke generation
The smoke production is visibly better than the BARQ. The Woodwind Pro has an advantage of the smoker box. With that tool you can actually over smoke stuff, but it requires constant attention. It's like a stick burner in that aspect. You have to feed the smoker box throughout the cook. it's only good for 30/40 minutes max.
Hi John, does this pellet grill come with a smoker box option to add wood chunks if needed?
no
What are the external dimensions of the grill? Need to know if it will pass through the gate leading to the yard.
the specs are on the website here - lonestargrillz.com/collections/pellet-smokers-coming-soon/products/lone-star-grillz-20-x-42-pellet-smoker
Do you think it is too heavy for a elevated back deck? Also is it too heavy to roll up 5 to 6 steps of stairs with a board placed on the stairs for rolling up? Thanks for the video
I dunno.. it's 445lbs. The deck could probably hold it but I can't begin to tell you if you can get it up some stairs or not
How is that shelf holding up? Seems it would be prone to rust due to scratching of the paint with sliding dishes on and off. The stainless option makes sense but super expensive.
Its holding up fine so far. I repainted mi e with a diferent theme, but you are right. If scratching and rust are something that bothers you, either get the SS upgrade or plan to maintain this one a little.
That's a dream rig right there John. I've enjoyed watching Ballistic BBQ's channel and several others that have this grill. I'm looking forward to seeing some cooks on it by the great local legend, John Setzler. Is the fireboard a PID controller or does integrated temp swings cause more smoke?
It is a PID controller. I don't think the smoke being produced by this grill is a trick of the controller. I think it's in the firepot design but I don't know that for sure one way or another. All I know so far is that this produces more smoke on its own than any other pellet smoker I have used. The Camp Chef has the smoker box, but that requires babysitting to keep it going.
@@ManCaveMeals That's the best grill on the market. Being able to mix those special wood chips is a neat plus too. Greg of Ballistic BBQ seemed to be really impressed with that aspect of it.
Be careful with the probe hole left open when cooking or if it moves. Smoke will come out and strip the paint off the hopper. Maybe have to mod it if you don’t want that.
I will keep my eyes open for that.
What pellets were you using to get that good smoke? Did you have to add any chips? How would you compare the amount of smoke to an offset?
I am using Pitt Boss pellets from Walmart. I am not adding any wood chips to those pellets. It's hard for me to compare this to an offset. Offsets do produce a little bolder smoke profile. This pellet smoker produces an amazing smoke profile though. It's better than any of the other seven pellet smokers I have had. This LSG is "NEXT LEVEL" in the world of pellet smokers.
@@ManCaveMeals Have you used a Yoder YS640s? If so how would you compare the smoke profile?
@@tgates811 this has a significantly better smoke output than the ys640 i had
@@tgates811 and no.. i e was the original 640 somi dont have a first hand comparison with the 640s
What happened to the camp chef woodwind pro?
I sold it last week
@@ManCaveMeals
Bummer , I just purchased one is there a reason as far as drawbacks ?
@@Mac2437 none at all. I still think its the best in its class
Was that your motorcycle in the background!?! I ride a Harley myself. Out of the countless hours I’ve spent watching your videos I’ve never heard you mention motorcycles.
Yes... It's a Kawasaki Vulcan...
Very nice!
