It fits the kick off great, but you have to point the handle holes toward the corners. So that the bottom piece and the top piece are rotated 90° and are diagonal from each other.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks for watching Dwayne.

Thank you

I do enjoy both grills.

Thank you as always Jason.

I agree with you, the Pro can also leak grease, something that I have found out since making this video. I will address this issue soon in a follow up video.

Thank you for watching and your input Louis.

Thank you, Paulie For coming back to comment.

World Market has the Kickoff for $50 if you can still find it.

Thank you so much for taking time to watch this Eric. I love your channel.

I hope they do too. And your right you do have to keep the steel handles, but they are not cast iron so, I didn’t include them as a casting. The replacement handles are about ten bucks a pair

I really enjoy it.

Thank you so much, for watching and thee we kind comment.

Looks to me like you have kick off grill up side down

The Pro version is a very good grill. I do agree that they should offer all three. Let the market decide if they should get rid of it. In my next video I will be comparing the new with the old.

@@BigLewBBQ Thank you for the thumbs up. Please if you think like I do that they should have three on the market mention that in your video. Maybe others will see it and think the same way. And maybe Lodge will see it and get the idea. They said the new grill was what they got in comments from people. Maybe if enough people ask for all three they'll do it... Again thank you so much for all the videos you do and the thumbs up....

@@waynethebarber1095 Wayne I said exactly that in my previous video. Check out what I said at the 25:49 mark of this video. Lodge Sportsman’s Pro Grill / Demonstration / Piri-Piri Wings & Carne Asada. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6qGnJSAtNnUYpc.html Furthermore, my next video I will be comparing the old and the new. I have already shot that video. In it I also mention The possibility of Lodge having three grills.

I really like having it. Not only does it store it well, it allows you to tote it around one handed. That way you can turn a door knob or carry something else in the other. I have conveniently provided a link to the bag in the description box to this video. Click “show more”.

I enjoy my cast iron collection.

It looks used, but I do try to maintain it. The Pro grill has only been used twice. The kickoff a whole lot over the past year.

Oh, wow! Thank you. Amazon links are below. They cheaper there than the Lodge website. I hope Lodge notices this comment.

@@BigLewBBQ, pro sold out. I'll keep going back to look when it's in stock. I really want that pro.

@@62dobie it may only be listed on the Lodge website.

Well the one I have her was designed for the old LSG but it fits the new one.

@@BigLewBBQ does it come with a cover?

@@janstewart2041 no, mine didn’t I don’t think it does.

Yes it was convenient.

Well that is a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Cool!

One that is heat resistant.

Well I’ve had my old sportsman’s a long time at the charcoal grate has never worn out yet.

@@BigLewBBQ well in this case, there’s no concerns anymore… and man, this baby looks astonishing!!!

Well I no longer have the kick-off. Not by choice mind you, but it now resides at an ex-girlfriend’s house. Getting it back isn’t worth the trouble of ever speaking with her again. I do miss the Kick-Off Grill but not her. I’m satisfied with how things are now, with only the Sportsman’s pro. Yet if it was the o the way around I would be happy with the kick-off too. If I had neither, and knowing that I usually only cook for one or two people now days I would by the Kick-Off. I can’t speak for you, but if usually cook for a family, then you would be better off with the Sportsman Pro.

I got the kickoff and very satisfied with it. Was thinking it was too small but with care can grill 5 burgers. I did lose one to the ground so that taught me a lesson on how to flip…. Definitely glad I got it versus the Weber large grill. Especially with just two of us.

No I don’t have a cover for that one.

@@BigLewBBQ Thanks Lee for responding.

I do have a new top for it now.

I don’t have a griddle like that, but I have several videos using a 12” and 10” skillet on it.

@@BigLewBBQ Yep, have checked them out 😊

@@jonny9884 my last video is a charcoal review. In it I cook a spatchcocked chicken on the kickoff

It’s only 12” diameter now.

I’ve seen a few videos of it. It may be good, but to me, to be honest, it seems to be a bit more of gimmick grill, than a serious piece of equipment. I’ve never seen one person, so my skepticism may be unfounded. It does seem to have good reviews on Amazon. If my skepticism is warranted and it is a gimmick, then it is also over priced.

@@BigLewBBQ I can see it for a a couple people who like to hike high up into the mountains and want a charcoal meal. I don’t see why you need to buy their own charcoal tho. Isn’t it just a grill? Why can you make a tray and use your own charcoal?

@@janstewart2041 Yeah, the need for buying their proprietary charcoal, is the reason I described it as a gimmick.

@@BigLewBBQ 10$ a cook adds up

@@janstewart2041 Wow! I didn’t know it was that expensive! The coals are only advertised to last an hour. Yeah I think it is a gimmick.

I love my kickoff grill. It now resides at my girlfriends house. I used it last Friday evening for ribeyes. It doesn’t flare up. It is wonderful.

I didn’t ask you to watch. I didn’t ask you like, subscribe or comment. However, I appreciate you wasting your time to watch and comment. This is MY SHOW! It’s called BIG LEW BBQ & OTHER THINGS I WANT TO DO. One of the other things I want to do is talk! I don’t do this show for you. I do this show for me! There is a little red line at the bottom of the screen you can use it to skip ahead. You can also close the window. There are some cooking channels where the host doesn’t talk at all you have to read the recipe while listening to music and viewing scenes of food close ups. I despise those types of videos, so I don’t watch them. There are others that just talk, some even just talk about cooking, but don’t cook. I’m sure you can find a channel you like to watch better than mine. My channel sucks anyway. Certainly if it’s not for you, then don’t go away mad, just go away!
